The simple color scheme and cute header makes Blog U pleasant to look at. The three column layout with all the links on the two far right columns and the plentiful code and point by point instructions on many of the posts make it all look too technical and visually unappealing. You have to admit though that all the instructions and code are essential to be able to teach her readers what they need to know.
User Friendliness – 8
Plenty of ways to get around Blog U. Annie also made sure that bookmarking her posts will be easy for everyone regardless of the social bookmarking site the reader prefers. The large number of links on the right sidebar however could confuse the reader instead of be helpful.
