website review

http://tumblr.photojojo.com/ 

Review:
Photojojo photography blog is a website full of tips on achieving the best of your photography ,DIY projects, and promotion/review of jojo's favorite things.
Jojo's website seems like it appeals to crafty people ,which doesn't really apply to me and a lot of others as well. She does not provide much variety for her viewers to look at while browsing her website if their interests are not crafts.
As well as not being a fan of Jojo's Blog Content , her blog's layout is very messy and well not being very organized. Jojo has all of her content in one large page on her blog with no side bar for categories ,which would make it easier for new viewers to navigate her blog and see if there's any interest in returning.Another layout problem i find in her blog is her aesthetic. Her font ,color, animation choice come across as childish and send out unprofessional vibe to the blog and make in unappealing to look at and navigate. Though i know this blog is right up some people's alleys with DIY crafts , it's just not something i enjoy or have interest in and there's nobody personally i would recommend this blog to,because it is far to unorganized and childish.But if you find joy in crafts, and always looking for reviews on products then this blog would probably be a perfect fit.And i will not be adding this website to my bookmarks and i will more than likely not revisit this page ,because i found nothing that struck my interest.

Rate 2: I found nothing appealing to me on this blog, and the layout/aesthetic wasn't good.

Something i found interesting:

Good news photo lovers - the Metropolitan Museum of Art is now offering 375,000 digital pieces of art for public use. These images would look beautiful printed on archival quality, thick Fine Art Prints from Parabo Press (hint hint).'

This blog post is one of the view post that i actually had interest in on this blog and enjoyes reading about. I think it's awesome that the MET released so many art pieces digitally to the world.Though i guess the museum kind of loses value because people won't have to visit it to see what's inside. But it does make it extremely convenient to majority of the world who can't make the trip to new york city to get to experience the museum in person.
