This has to get top honors for being one of the most creative descriptions for a blog. Seems like this guy has a sense of humor – or does he really? I read the ‘About Me’ section on the side bar first – astrophysicist, yachtsman, television presenter … not! Seems this guy Dave really must have a sense of humor. I almost believed he really was all those things. It continues, “By day, I live by the seaside, play cricket for a Norfolk village side … and have had a couple of minor books published.” Can I have your life?
The actual posts themselves were very well written. You’re a parachutist too? God, this is making me feel pretty inadequate! But this is a review, so … well written and interesting. The posts are written in such a way that we get some insight into the authors’ personality. ‘Words’ really do seem to play an important part in his life, as does the battle between British and American English! There were a variety of topics, some humorous, some serious and Dave seems to an equal mastery of both. He has the rare ability to make everything seem like an interesting story. Another plus is that the posts aren’t too long.
The blog was easy to navigate with the use of a two column blogspot layout. The design integrates very well with your theme of cricket, with the picture in the header and the picture of you on the sidebar. Nice use of various shades of green in the color scheme.
Overall, this blog is definitely a good read. Going through it, I felt like I was getting to learn more about the author, who I suspect is secretly a Jedi Knight in training. But I’m still left wondering how “life is an elaborate metaphor for cricket” as stated in his title.
