Blog Review: iStaylSugbo
March 12th, 2008.
Fact: blogs can be built around any domain name.
And iStayl Sugbo blog is unique.
This could be good. However, the blog has a long way to go before realizing its full potential.
Where the blog are you going?
If your domain name is random then your layout and content should reflect this.
The blog content is timidly random: a freeware review, a family park experience, a self-promotional post from Doctor Foed offering home remedies.
For help on blog ‘branding’ have a peak at this.
However, the blog layout and design suggests focused and technical content. The colors scheme and images are conservative.
Strong colors and images easily create a fun and dynamic feel (which is surely what a blog named iStaylSugbo should be?).
You can find free but striking images here.
Whew!
The blog is simple but takes a long time to load fully.
I wondered: Div tags are used for layout, not tables. So why the lag?
Then I noticed this tag <iframe> used twice.
iFrames are way of embedding dynamic content in the “padding” of a page.
They can take long to load.
And the content contained takes even longer.
Try removing the <iframes> or reduce the content in them. There is no need for three recent viewer widgets. You only need one.
The best thing about the blog is its unusualness and quirkiness! Turn up the quirkiness volume and say loudly: “This is my blog, and I think lucky Llamas are lovely!”Thanks so much for submitting your blog, Francis. I hope this helps?
Love, Lilly

thanks so much for this review! I really loved it. Regarding with the frame and how the page loads slowly, i think i cant do anything about it yet because i have no programing or html coding background, maybe i need to learn more first. Maybe in the future i could take a look at it.. Thanks a lot and more power to you.
