If you are looking for another source of information to meet your online dating needs, you may want to check out E-Chat Host . This is a blog dedicated to online dating tips as well as the latest news and reviews in the world of online dating. There is little to say about the author as this blog does not contain an about me page, but you can guage the effectiveness of the tips yourself by having a look at some of the recent posts: Masterseek – New Business Search Engine, Mommy Makeover, Earn for Blogging, Kissing tips for First Timers, and 46 Facts about Women. Some of the tips are tongue in cheek, no pun intended, so take them with a grain of salt. And if there is something missing here that you would like to see in the world of online dating, the author does have a section where you can ask questions.
Before I say much about navigation, I should mention this is another site best viewed with Mozilla Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer. You will see some funky formatting through IE that is not there through Firefox. The posts themselves are left marginalized and the blog contains two right navigation bars. Posts are standard black text on white background, and they do come with relevant pictures, but I am wondering if the pictures are ad content. The right navigation bar contains a menu for latest articles or recent posts, but it is empty, and though I see recent posts, I am not too sure why that hasn’t been updated. The navigation bars also contain a list of other dating sites, advertising upon advertising, a links list, and if you scroll right to the bottom you will find a very perfunctory about me page. The archive menu is found in the right navigation bars as well. Here you will find 81 posts through all of 2007. I do notice the frequency of activity picking up however with currently what appears to be very close to daily posting.
This site is getting a 2.1 from me, far too busy with the advertising. If the site was proficient in other areas, the advertising would not take away from the overall review as much. In fact, there seems to be more advertising than content which definitely takes from the appeal of the blog. The content also seems to be lacking originality as almost every site has the source listed for it, so I am not sure if the blogger is actually even blogging, or simply passing on information from other sources. The about me page also is practically nonexistent other than stating there in fact IS an about me page. Also, the obvious issue with the latest article menu can not go unnoticed. Again, for things like this it is better to put nothing at all rather than advertise a lack of content. I am not an online dater, but if I ever were one, I certainly wouldn’t remember this site unless some serious changes had been made to it.
