Ever wanted to read a blog that covers naked people (no pun intended), blogosphere news, and everything in between? Well, GreenLlama.net is the blog for you.
To be perfectly honest, at the first glance I thought, “what, is this a joke?”. But after digging deeper I found that my first reaction was wrong.
It took me a while to figure out what it is about. However, the answer was staring at me the whole time. It is about everything and nothing.
The author of the blog, Leroy Brown, sums it up perfectly in two words, “random crap.” Basically, it covers everything imaginable: news, celebrities, gadgets, blogging, naked people in the news, and even web 2.0 stuff. It has the “personal touch” that, in my opinion, marks a good blog, and it is the perfect example of what a blog should be. The author does not pretend to be anyone else other than himself, which is something that many bloggers mess up on.
My only complaint is that it is almost too random, but nonetheless it is still a worthy addition to my growing collection of feed subscriptions.
Overall I like what I see, so I’ll give GreenLlama a 9/10 for its uniqueness, 7/10 for design, 9/10 for the wide variety of topics it covers, and an overall score of 9/10. I think it is pretty safe to say no other blog is quite like the GreenLlama.

Heya Jeremy, thanks for the honest review. ‘Too random’ is a good point - I bounce around pretty thoroughly. It’s kinda the way my mind works.. I’ll be on one subject, then bounce to another with no rhyme or reason. But that’s part of the fun.
I agree with you on the design - it’s good, but could be a lot better. I don’t have the funds for a full-on custom professional design just yet, and I’m no css/wordpress master by any means. Hopefully I can work something out down the road as the money starts coming in a little quicker.

Yeah design isn’t a strong point for me either, too “artsy”. Thanks for the link
