The only thing that would attract me to the site is the number of puzzles and brain teasers in this blog Thought Process – Good To Know It, but the fact that it is very poorly maintained restricts me from coming on to this piece of collection again. It has the looks of temple of knowledge in ruins. Started in April 2007, the blog offers a lot of puzzles, numerical teasers and internet forwards. This author Sunil Kumar from Delhi is an inspiring person, which is depicted by his other creations, but this blog doesn’t recieve justice from him. The blog seems more to the fact that it is made for the sole purpose of making money. Well, nothing wrong with making money from the blog, but it needs to be entertaining as well. The blog does nothing.
The navigation of the blog is poorly maintained by the numerous ads below the header and on the side panel. The theme is not so attractive but fulfills its purpose. Dark coloured blog entries on the bland white theme it is. The labels are neatly arranged and look very relevant and precise. It has now increasingly become a trend to route for having redundant content from the web on your blog and this blogs follows the same. The author regularly updates the blog, and has a lot of entries in the past few months but very few unique entries. I give the blog 2.5/5. It lost most of its points in its content and its appearance. I would offer a few suggestions to the author of the blog:
- the blog needs to be attractive. Looks do matter in blogging, ‘people see more, think less’.
- make it easy for people to navigate through your blog by using themes with better navigation and placing ads only at appropriate places.
- do not post internet forwards on the blogs, people do not prefer to see the same things on the blog, which they see in their inbox

People think less.. hmmmm
I liked the looks of the blog Good to know it and the content too. I didnt even see any ads on the site..
Its one of the best compilation of puzzles i have ever seen.
The review seems to be too partial

Dear Tom,
The blog was reviewed on Nov 25th 2007. There is always a possibility people change the looks and contents of the blog.
The review was for the blog which was on 25th Nov 2007.
And to add to your point, ofcourse people will encounter any blog by usual surfing or through referral, and making them stay until they have read your impressive writing, are only done by the looks of the blog.
