Million Blogs lets you get a blog based on keywords of your choosing. These keyblogs are a free and fully functional WordPress blog you can use to advertise your product or business, monetize, or even sell. In addition to this service, the main page of Million Blogs discusses tips, tricks, and news related to its service.
The first little comment I have is please make the comment text a link - I pretty much always expect “3 comments” or “2 comments” to link over to the comments section. In addition, it might not be a bad idea to link the “add your comment here” text to the actual comment form. I’m just picky like that
In addition, the blog is a bit hard to navigate due to a lack of back/next links at the bottom of the page, and the posts don’t list which category they are in. The feed auto-discovery code doesn’t point to the feedburner feed either.
Besides those little minor problems, the main blog are well built and well written, and the service appears to be running perfectly.
Rating:
My rating for Million Blogs is…
Content: 9/10 - So what does well written content, easy to read posts, and extra goodies deserve? An automatic 9/10 of course.
Design: 7/10 - There are several ways this could be improved. For one thing the logo is a bit distracting - which I think is because it isn’t spaced out from the content enough and the mirror effect isn’t quite transparent enough. There’s also not a previous/next posts link on the bottom, and the bottom is a bit empty - maybe add in a quick “about us” section? The feed auto-discovery code also isn’t set to the FeedBurner feed - and there are no obvious subscription links anywhere besides the bottom of the sidebar.
Uniqueness: 8/10 - There are somewhat similar services, so this isn’t a brand new concept, but the blog content is unique and the service appears to be well built and well executed.
Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?
