blog reviews

The blog that I just read is well designed. The advertisments take away from the idea of the blog a little if I were making a webpage I would try to make it look better with images. The images would make you look away from the adverisments and more at the information on the site. The site site would also look more intersesting if it were in bigger lettering.
Here is a link to the page:Nokia cuts hit smart phone, multimedia R&D

The next site is well made. The site has color witch makes it easier to look at. It also has a navtigation bar. wicth make it easier to find what you are looking for. The rounded ends on the text boxes give the page style. The Google search may be a ad. but it still adds to the popularity of the page.
