Out of the new blogs I reviewed one stood out like a diamond in a coal mine and that was Smitten Kitchen. It contained everything necessary in a good blog: simplicity and balance. The blog contained just the right amount of pictures, it had very few ads, was easy to follow, and on top of all that it had good writing. The other blogs I looked at: Curious Cook, The Ethicurean, Rasa Malaysia, and Movable Feast all had their various problems and did not even come close to touching Smitten Kitchen. One of my favorite parts of this awesome site was on the left side where it said Surprise Me! when you click on this a random food post pops up. I also enjoyed the simplicity of the site. The background was white so there were no distracting colors, on the left there are a few useful links and one lone ad that I did not even know it was an ad until I looked at it twice (there is also one more ad after the first post and that is it). The writing is the main part of this website and that is what it should be. It should not be a whole lot of useless links. It should not be unnecessary pictures. It definitely should not be ads. This site is what every other site should strive to be like and you should definitely check out this blog because it is the biggest diamond out there.
