Blog Review Just by reading the first few sentences, Gareth Davies, the blogger, certainly captures the readers' attention with his cheerful-yet-very-slightly-inappropriate humor in every post. His content tends to focus on an array of "newsworthy" stories that seems ridiculous in a quite hilarious manner. Gareth also adds a bit of his own life into the posts (such as his recent engagement) and I must admit I enjoyed reading it. The content is plentiful, and will continuously capture your attention. Gareth's blog also includes podcasts, which sound a lot like his posts; basically, still funny and still interesting. Since he updates his blog several times a month, readers can always be looking forward to some good reading.

The design of the blog is aesthetically pleasing. It's simple with a dash of image banner at the top and a splash of color among the background and the words. There are no excessive media that may slow down one's computer, and no ads to flash perpetually at the reader. Simply put, I like that.

The one bad point is that you can't comment on his posts. This may be because of the massive traffic that may be going to this blog; Gareth, after some Googling, (in a non-creepy way...I just wanted to see if he writes for a living, because he writes really well) is actually a journalist for a newspaper.

Other than the lack of comments and reader-interaction on the blog, there is not much Gareth misses for a good blog-reading experience
