RSS Feeds: Blog Review: SlipperyBrick
What an awesome blog! SlipperyBrick has a blog design that stands out from most of the blogs that I've looked at in recent weeks. I wish I had that kind of design talent. I sincerely believe the way a blog looks when you first arrive is like the first impression on a blind date. If it looks really good, you'll probably be back for more, regardless of the content.
Content, however, isn't a problem for this blog. There are pictures (or images of some kind) on every article I looked at. If the headlines don't draw you in, the images will. How does "NoPoPo: Urine Powered Batteries" grab you? Or how about "Star Trek photon torpedo coffin to die for"? This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about!
People who are just starting to blog and looking for a way to display advertising without being overly obtrusive could take some pointers from this blog. Even people who are looking to redesign can get a hint or two. Just my casual, unprofessional eye can spot some things that I should have thought about a long time ago.
[Note: As of December 2008 (more than a year later), I still read this blog by email and occasionally visit in person. I like how the author(s) embed humorous tech tips from time to time.]

Interest blog and cool funny devices!
Upon a second look SlipperyBrick definitely has an effective layout even with just the right amount of adsense ads and amazon banner on the sides. I try to have something like that using wordpress but my adsense is on the right sidebar instead of the left. I also like how the plethora of categories are clearly laid out on the right.
That's a pretty interesting blog and quite an effective layout. This is the kind of creative thinking all webmasters should strive to achieve.
I think many new designs and themes have somehow taken after this general design…including my own new site on window blinds information. Something cool about the sidebar that has one column for the most part but breaks into two columns as well. It's fresh. I like it.

That is a pretty good design. Easily navigable and not too packed with lots of distractions. I've seen better layouts than this too though.
I like the design myself.
Its a great blog, the design is smart and some of the posts are quirky

Thats one thing that I need to change about my blog is its design, as of now it just has a standard template. But I agree with your post that its design will really make it stand out compared to the rest!
