Did You Know that if you had a whole group of bakers together, you would properly refer to the collective of bakers as “A tabernacle of bakers?”

When I was a school kid, we would have to go to the library a couple of times a week and spend an hour or so just browsing through books. One of my favorite this to do during that time was to pick up an encyclopedia, and read various topics in it. I would skip over much of it, but I could always find interesting things in an encyclopedia that would interest me, and keep me reading more.

Did You Know? is a blog that is a consolidation of some of the more interesting facts that one might find browsing an encyclopedia. The author finds interesting facts and publishes them for us to read.

Did You Know? makes a very good attempt at being a great place for a curious mind to pass some time. The idea of being able to go to a blog and just sit and read some of the more fascinating things in our world is something that I could see myself doing now, and as a school kid. However, this blog does have a few drawbacks.

One of the first things I noticed is the many ads on the site. While I am definitely not opposed to making a bit of revenue to support a site, and even perhaps make a little profit, I also like to see blogs that pride themselves on having more worthy content on a page than they do ads. Did You Know? borders that idea with more than its share of ads. (Chitika, Adbrite, Google, and more.) One other notable discount about Did You Know? that I found was that it was not clear where to find the Archives. They are located in the right sidebar, but it did take me a few looks to find it.

A want to praise the author on a very nice idea for his blog, and also for some of the features they have used. The right side bar contains some very unique ideas, such as the “Did You Know Question,” which asks a random question to the viewer, and also the “Science News of Interest,” which uses a nice and unique way of bringing a science feed to a blog.

I do recommend this blog as a source of passing some time, and I myself may spend a bit more time there. The world is an amazing place, and I really enjoy reading some of its more interesting points that can be found at Did You Know?

This blog would have gotten a bit lower rating, but was saved by its content, and the authors great idea to present such interesting facts.

This blog review was a true joy to experience. I am not a big baseball fan, but that did not stop me from being drawn into this blog, just by the sheer amount of information contained in it.

Here at Bloggeries, we get many sports related blogs, but they generally seem to just be a fun past time for the author. MLB Rumors Clearinghouse looks to be more than just a fun past time, and something closer to being this author’s true passion.

MLB Rumors Clearinghouse focuses its attention on all the latest rumors and news in Major League Baseball. The author makes post almost daily, and sometimes even more often than that. The design is simple, but somehow has the feel of a sport that brings remembrances of childhood fun, and trips to the stadium with dad.

The blog has ties to another site called The Cooperstown Kid, and the author seems to use the sites to sort of feed his readers a variety of information, memories, and even offers a few products that can be purchased.

If there were a way this author could hand out stadium hotdogs to his readers, I am sure he would do it.

This blog recieves Bloggeries highest rating to place it in the Bloggeries Spotlight.

This review is of a blog I located in the directory called MsAdventures. MSAdventures is written by author Michelle, and is a collaboration of just about anything that comes to her mind. Such things as Current Events, Family, Movies, Recipes, and even Harry Potter are found in her journals.

Michelle writes to her blog about every 2 to 4 days, and her posts are generally about 1 or 2 paragraphs in length.

I spent about an hour reading through some of the various posts at MsAdventures. I found myself very entertained, especially when reading about some of her travel experiences. She has a great sense of humor, and a very serious side as well.

The design of her blog is simple, but easy to navigate. She has managed to make full use of what the idea of a blog is supposed to be.

If you are in to reading the daily thoughts and experiences of the “Average” person, this is a great blog to waste away a few hours. I highly recommend it.
