Blogged.com Offers Simple Way to Find Blogs - A Closer Look
(Page 3 of 4 )
Here’s a screen shot of Blogged.com’s overview of John Battelle’s Searchblog. Once again, I couldn’t quite fit everything.
In addition to what you find out about the blog from a look at its listing on the search page, you learn that Battelle’s 9.8 rating is based on editor reviews; he hasn't received enough reviews from Blogged.com visitors yet. You can also browse related blogs, look at three recent posts from Battelle’s blog, and subscribe to an RSS feed of his blog. If you want to submit a review of Battelle's blog, you can do it from this overview. Clicking on the review link brings up a text box in which to enter your review, and a sliding scale that you can use to give the blog a rating. Incidentally, this overview page is set up to show comments and reviews of the blog, but no one has given Battelle any review love yet.
The registration process seems to hold no surprises; Blogged.com asks for your first and last name and your email address; you also must agree to the site’s terms and conditions. Blogged.com sends an email to verify that you registered. Well, I’m in a hurry writing this, so my account wasn’t verified by the time I took a screen shot of my profile dashboard. The verification came through fairly quickly, though. Here’s the screen shot:
The dashboard features tabs for friends, favorites, shared blogs (blogs and posts your friends wish to share with you), reviews, comments, and of course the inevitable inbox for communication between members. You can add a location and even link to your own blog.
