I know that the time I put into this won’t provide the attention deserved, so please take that into consideration. As with all blogs I review at Riley Central, the blog will remain on my Google Reader for one month. If I read something extra special that I like from this blog in that time, I will note that in the comments to this permalink on an ongoing basis.

Blog Title: My Recycled Bags
uri: myrecycledbags.com/

“About this Blog” / BIO Section: “Learn and share information about crocheted and other crafted recycled bags. This is an Eco-Friendly product website that is dedicated to recycling and crafting. Thank you for your interest!”

Aesthetics: Pretty nature/plant life FIXED width layout (arrrgh, why do they still make fixed width! Don’t people realize there are some macs sold now with 50 foot width screens?) Seriously though, it is very clean with soft tones and has a nice “path” header pic. There are Adsense ads, but they are unobtrusive leaving content visible and undistracted. The description line is visible and helpful to the browser: “Learn and share information about recycling and crafting.”

Content I read: In the most recent article, you find the author makes things out of recycled material. This is a niche blog for sure which is cool, but not one I will likely put on my reader long term. I might suggest working in life stories as part of the theme. Just my preference. Recycled art is cool, but it does not an online diarist one make.

Blogroll: More than 10 links to craft/recycled based sites. Again, very niche.

Summative Thoughts: I think I’ve said it all on this one. If recycling and crafts are your thing, head on over!
