#1 Treehugger.com -
Compliment #1: I like your range of posts - from articles about prefab housing to information on local eco-problems.
Compliment #2: The grey nav/link bar between each post is nifty.
Compliment #3: Great use of graphics and photos to illustrate your stories.
Suggestion: The layout is busy which made it hard to focus on the posts. More white space would be great.
#2 We-Make-Money-Not-Art - Compliment #1: Love the name - priceless!
Compliment #2: The art and art installations that you cover are almost mesmerizing - I find myself completely losing time when visiting your site.
Compliment #3: The category cloud is a different way of presenting your categories - it stands out visually.
Suggestion: Not all categories show up in the cloud - I looked for "Video" and "Sculpture" and neither were present, though you had posts with those categories. You might be missing visitors because these essential terms aren't showing up.

Compliment #1: Your voice - the tone of your blog - is great and very unique.
Compliment #2: Love the minimalist look - including the lack of masthead.
Compliment #3: You are a really consistent poster - great for an individual blog!
Suggestion: The posts that you have in the pinkish background (every other post, it looks like) become completely unreadable when you go to the archive page. Bummer, because I wanted to see if your reasons why Pirates sucked matched mine.
Hey Diane, thanks for the review. You fulfilled at least two of my reasons for blogging today! Anyway, good point on the 'asides', I need to go fix that right now.
