When I saw the name Politics In Alabama I really thought not another political blog, especially after this election year. Additionally this name while very descriptive did not impress me to want to read it since I do not live in Alabama.
The blog is a standard 3 column layout with one column for navigation, one for the blog and one for google ads. I found it odd to see google ads on a political blog, but to each their own. The blog has a red background with the three columns all having a grey or white background and black text. Very simple and clean.
While my frustration over what this blog could be about I was a little relieved to find out it is a new blog – just started in early February. This meant that I wouldn’t have to read all about the election yet again, so I was a little relieved. The blog is about things going on in, wait for it, Alabama. Wow. That was a stretch right? But seriously, the blog talks about all different topics of politics from education to sports.
I was pleasantly surprised at this blog. While I could not relate one bit to it since I do not live anywhere near the south, this blog does what it is supposed to do and does it well. Normally I would have a hard time justifying a 4 for a site that I wouldn’t visit, but this blog achieves its goal and if you live in Alabama, I suggest you check it out.
