Blog Review: Name that Tube


Name that Tube

http://namethattube.blogspot.com

Description of site:
The author poses a daily challenge to guess which London Underground station is depicted in the blog entry. Each image is accompanied by a small hint, description or comment about the author’s day so far.

Appearance:
One of the standard Blogger rounders templates has been used, so not too much to comment on. If this had been my site I would have adjusted the AdSense colour palette so that it blended in with the background more.

Organisation:
N/A

Navigation and Functionality:
Side bar links and blog archive.

Advertising:
Google AdSense in the side bar and at the foot of the page. This advertising is unobtrusive, despite not being very well blended and doesn’t detract from the site content or appearance.

Comments:
This is a very simple idea, as most of the good ones are. The author sits with a tube map, picks a random station and does a Google image search or similar on the station name – a ready made blog entry in very little time and effort. This is also an easy blog to maintain – no fancy graphics or special effects, just the bare minimum needed to fulfil the aim. I’m almost jealous I didn’t think of it first!

Rating:
8/10
