BeN'Z ver 6.09

A friend of mine recently came back to the blogosphere. I've added it in my list and here is what I think about it. When he sent me his link and saw the title, I knew it would be something good coming from him. Yes, high hopes and expectations from me are something he probably can live with. To my batchmates, yes, it's Benedict's blog!

BeN'Z ver 6.09 has got a simple layout which looks like a pro-blogger's but usually pro-blogger’s would use a three column layout. In my personal opinion, it is the title of the blog, navigation bar and the gadgets on the sidebar. The title makes me think that it is the latest technology or software but simply, the blogger is just conveying the message that he is back, his posts are better from before and definitely different from the I-am-back-type-of-post. The navigation bar allows you to move to different page elements such as BeN’Zone, YoU N BeN’Z and BlOgGeR$. You may think that it is messy but this is simply a style that the blogger is trying to portray. He has written more about each of it. So, you could go check it out!

Well, he did tell me that one day, he hopes to reach that level and I think he has what it takes because he is clear about what he wants to publish: something beneficial, funny and definitely not a letdown. Would it be too early to tell? I guess you would have to come back to check out his other posts just like how I would. I'm yet to know what his contents are like but I have faith in him. *Don't let me/us down*

The sidebar has got many gadgets as mentioned earlier. What I like about it is that he tells his readers what to expect in a couple days time. He also has his own Word showing what he was thinking on that specific date which sometimes, I find inspirational. This is something you have to look out because I can’t exactly describe it. But, one thing is for sure. These are his original and thoroughly thought through thoughts. (a little bit of unintended tongue twister) Nevertheless, I still think that the chatbox should be a little higher. There are two ways to looking at it. The good thing about having it higher is that people would know that it exists but if that is all they look at, then, the other gadgets beneath the chatbox are ignored. On the other hand, people would scroll down to find the chatbox and come across the other gadgets.

Besides that, it is a norm to have archives listed as the last but have you ever wonder why that is so? There are also games such as hangman which I’ve tried playing. It is a gadget provided by blogger and somehow addictive. He also has his youtube channel which I would say, check it out too! Some videos are cool while some videos are seemingly okay. I think videos should not be judged or rated on just how interesting it is or how it is presented but also the fact that how the person came up with the idea and the challenges to do so.

It is easy for a person to say that this is a lame thing or this is not nice etc but when it comes to thinking about why the administrator or producer chose it in the beginning, you would realise that some things are not chosen like a snap of the finger. It must have been with much consideration because that is how he wants others to view his blog/videos.

Ads are up everywhere! We all know what to do next and definitely know why we, bloggers, put them up in the first place. So, start clicking away! For non-bloggers, you could do us a favour in clicking on our ads *grins* Yes, this dude may seem to have too many ads. But to me, it is fine as long as I can see and read the contents.For now, I would ignore the previous posts because those were written a few years ago and the fonts are of different sizes and a little too colourful for my liking. I suppose everyone including me would very much like to keep a part of ourselves for memories to read back.

Feel free to comment about my *first-time* review about a blog, his blog or anything else in here or in his blog.
