*Ø* Blogmanac | The Blogmanac reviewed

What's your opinion? It will help us to know

The Weblog Review has reviewed the Blogmanac. It has some good things to say about this blog, but is very critical of its download time, and "messy, messy, messy" design.

I'm pleased to get reviewed, and will take these things on board. Have a look at the review if you get a chance, and let us know if you agree. You can even cast a vote from zero to 5 according to your own feelings about the Blogmanac – it's all good feedback for us.

It was a bit of a shock because of the glowing reviews we've been getting from our readers here at Blogarama, and because none of the thousands of visitors here have ever made those criticisms. But, like I said, I'm definitely pleased to get the review, and despite its author, Ren, being a tad adversarial in tone, she did seem to try to provide some constructive criticism.

Is it too slow?
The Weblog Review says that even on cable it takes the Blogmanac 3-4 minutes to download. As I have dial-up and live in the bush 20 miles from the country town where my ISP is housed, and the Blogmanac only takes 30-45 seconds to download here at Sandy Beach, I'm really interested to know. Are you hating the download? I can easily ditch some of the stuff in the outer columns to speed things up, and pictures from the posts, but not on the say-so of just one reviewer. sooooo ... feedback is urgently requested of our visitors. Thanxalot.
