If you are looking for another technical blog, stop and check out the blog Per Henrik Lausten, a blog on Lotus Domino, IT Architecture, Technology, and Other Stuff at The author, is an IT Architect at IBM from Denmark and writes entirely about tips and tricks on his industry. I will admit, I do not now nor ever will profess to know very much about this topic, but that does not take away from what I notice about the blog. From first glance the readership is very good, sitting at about 177 on the feed right now, and his posts are well populated with comments, s clearly his niche has found the market his blog needs. If you are interested in IT or Lotus Domino, you should take the time to check out his recent posts: Fast NSF: Domino Performance articles and tips, Dojomino: Info and Tutorials for using Dojo, New Laptop from Zepto with Intel Santa Rosa technology, Lotus Software Nordic meeting in Second Life, Podcast: Mike Rhodin on Lotus Notes 8, Join Impact 2007 in Second Life, Joost Invites, Danish Lotus Notes and Domino Job site, Lotus Notes 8 Beta reception in second life, and Blog on Lotus and Websphere in Norwegian.
Navigation on the site is very straightforward. Posts are left marginalized with a right navigation bar. Text is standard black on white background. The right navigation bar contains the profile of the blogger, RSS feed, and a recommended links menu containing recommended links from what looks like a “Show N Tell Thursday†category: Architectural Patterns and Domino (Show’n Tell Thursday), Lotus Domino and Designing for Accessibility (Show’n Tell Thursday), getItem Value String and Domino 6.5.5 and 7.0 (Show’n Tell Thursday), Sorting a Notes Document Collection by multiple field values (Show’n Tell Thursday). There is also a nice list of fellow IBM bloggers and the archive listing in the right navigation menu.
I will give this blog a 3.3 based on our criteria. This blog could use a category menu to sort and organize posts a little better. The posting is somewhat sporadic so I think perhaps a couple of more posts a week would bring the mark up a little bit. I would like to suggest pictures, just so that the blog seems a little more interesting. And it may help to add a user friendly component or definitions category to this page for those like me that don’t know much about the topic. However, overall the blog is doing well with its readership of 177 readers, and I can’t offer much more advice to help it other than adding some user friendly or “easy readability†features for the non-techies out there. I enjoy reading blogs of all niches, regardless of if I am a guru in them or not, and for others of the same inclination that stumbled on this blog a user friendly category would gain even more readership than this blog already has. Otherwise, I think this blogs readers and devoted commenters would agree when I say this blog is heading in the right direction.
