Review and Rating for An Unquiet Mind

Thanks to James' Miscellany Symposium, I discovered a too-good-to-be-true blog called Let's Talk About Blogs.

Like for all new endeavors, I've had my share of being nervous about it, wondering and occasionally worrying if I'm up to the task, and so on. An independent and objective review by a real person would be great, right? Well that's exactly what really happened. The blog has a "Request Review" link that you can choose to request a review of your blog.

I did that, and kept my fingers crossed. As a newbie, I did well beyond my expectations - I 'scored' an 8.5 out of 10! Read the review yourself and let me know what you think (Note: I've already made some changes to my sidebar based on the review feedback).

Let’s Talk About Blogs Review Rating

I really must thank Let's Talk About Blogs for offering this wonderful expert advice for free, especially for us newbie bloggers! To help publicize the blog, I've added the review rating graphic to my sidebar.

More than the score, the review's insightful points are worth noting. I'm already working on the inputs, but have a way to go...

    Con­grats.… the reviewer men­tions about ‘loyal read­ers’. Won­der who he was refer­ring to.. ;-)

    Thanks, folks! I’m hon­ored by my elite readership…

    Ashok: you’ve really put me into seri­ous think­ing mode…

    M,
    I sec­ond the review: could have spared you the trou­ble if you had just asked me for the diag­no­sis. No surgery needed! Just an occa­sional pop of lit­er­ary Via­gra which I will pro­vide! :-)
    Seri­ously now, you and Krish are intro­duc­ing me to some great thought-parks that are SO pleas­ant and refresh­ing. Can’t thank you enough, actu­ally!
    Any of this crowd pops into Kolkata, din­ner is on me (if I get time out from your blog, that is!;-)).

    Con­grats for the good rat­ing Mahen­dra! When I started out 7 months ago I too started off with this theme and since then have been try­ing out var­i­ous themes but am not totally sat­is­fied even now.
    I agree with the reviewer that you have a very read­able blog, which isn’t that com­mon. Mostly peo­ple write ram­bling, per­sonal stuff which I find dif­fi­cult to read or relate to.
    You write well too. Fel­low Punekar after all. :)

    Hey, once again, I’m too hum­bled by my ‘loyal read­er­ship’! Thanks much for the comments.

    Ramana: Your offer is so tempt­ing that I’m now seri­ously plan­ning a trip to Kolkata!

    Nita: When you wrote your first screen­play at 13, I was prob­a­bly just doo­dling. Your com­ments are a great inspi­ra­tion. Many thanks. I wish you host your own site where you can choose your own template.

    BTW, I’m orig­i­nally a Mum­baite (born-‘n-brought-up and spent 30 years in Mum­bai) before shift­ing to Pune in 1997. Prob­a­bly exactly the reverse of you!

    Well, you are Punekar now. :)
    And the only rea­son I have not shifted on to my own tem­plate is because I am quite clue­less about tech­ni­cal things. I took quite some time to famil­iarise myself with the way word­press works. I didn’t even know how to load images, and I wasn’t sure how to work with code, links etc. Slowly I fig­ured it all out but even now I know just the basics. html and css and all that is quite beyond me.
    So that is why I am at this free word­press blog thing. I am not sure I want to spend huge amounts of money on hir­ing design­ers, tech­ni­cal peo­ple etc.
