Microsoft Zune Giveaway Contest
I’ve been reading Ms. Danielle’s blog site for a few weeks now. I made note of her Microsoft Zune Giveaway Contest by marking that post as unread in my feed reader. Her blog has seemingly the perfect mix of personal posts and useful blogging posts, which is helping her blog grow. Her contest isn’t asking for a full review, but I think I’ll give one, albeit short, anyway to see if her blog will play in Peoria.
Danielle started this blog in early March and has provided consistent posts ever since. I like the balance of personal posts (How not to swing a golf club & The story of Binky) to very useful blog posts (Do blog ethics exist & Why links are so important). Needless to say, the major strength of this blog is the content. It’s well written and interesting topics. As for what I would change? The only things I would change are in the sidebar. I realize that advertisements get a better click rate when placed at the top of the page, but this gets a little annoying as I had to page down 2 1/2 pages before I got to any navigational items. However those things are easily forgotten when I read the next quality article.
So, in summary, Ms. Danielle - Just Another Ego Blog Site does play in Peoria.
On a side note: She said that she thinks it would be funny if John Chow won it back from her (she won it from him). I’ll just put in that if I win it, I’ll run a contest myself to give it away to a lucky blogger.

hey let me know what you think of my sidebar, i updated it. i tried to see how other popular bloggers set up their sidebars, since i know they’ve probably tested all kinds of configurations. i admit, it was a mess! anyway, thanks for your feedback. and you’re right, my ads at the top get a better ctr anyway so my ecpm will most likely go up
I just commented in your “Letter to my fellow bloggers” post regarding your sidebar. But to sum up, your sidebar looks 1000% better. I can tell you put some thought in every items placement now. Good Job!
