Blog Title: “A Little Piece of Me”
uri: crpitt.blogspot.com/

This is my first review as part of making good on my Blog Catalog/Riley Central Blog Quiz challenge. I’m sitting down at my lunch hour to start it, I know that won’t provide the attention a blog deserves in a review, but hey . . . it’s not for hire so you can’t sue me :) I will do my best nonetheless to introduce this blog to my readers, here goes . . .

Blog author, Claire, says in her header:

This blog is a little piece of me, a insight into my life. I will chat about my life as a carer, a beaver leader, other friend/family stuff and as a student in counselling! I will also try to include lots of photos. Hopefully that creates enough interest to draw you in! Cheers Claire

I was drawn right away to the 2 sidebars on the left and right. They have a variety of web 2.0 blogger buttons that are part of the experience for many out there in the sphere. As for me? I like them on other people’s blogs, but I prefer to keep my sidebars for navigation of content and networking here and there. Claire’s sidebars have some interesting stuff that personal bloggers will find interesting.

Her blog is about counseling and caring for people . . . what a great platform for the content of a blog!

I’ve read several of her posts and found them to be well written and certainly in the genre of an online diary. Her avatar pic is happy and laid back and she seems like the kind of person you’d enjoy reading since her light take on things is quite refreshing.

She is dedicated to memes as is made clear by the flowing blogrolls of such posts in her sidebar. She also has a long blogroll which I didn’t have time to peruse.

She writes this day about a city it sounds like is in Italy. She gives a link to the city for a deeper explanation.

Claire has done a nice job with her blog and I wish her all the best. As promised, I will be reading her feed on my Google Reader for a month as thanks for taking the Riley Central Blog quiz last weekend. When I read something extra special that I like from Claire, you will find it in the comments to this permalink.

Why sir you flatter me!

The ones on my blog buddies list are all great bloggers and daily(ish) reads for me, it takes a long while for me to put up a link on that exclusive list ( your on google reader for now).

As for meme blogrolls, they generate a lot of traffic for me, which is a necessary evil for the paid post things.

Things have been funny and light as that is generally my mood, but i think you will like the counselling stuff that i do when my course starts up in a couple of weeks.

It was indeed Italy in the recent post :)

Thanks for the great review, honest too.

Also are you going to say if you think somebody hasn’t been honest about their blog score?

You’re welcome. I will enjoy the counseling ones. I’m a big believer in therapy in its proper time and place. It can work miracles, did for me once.

I will keep that in mind about the “honesty” on the quiz. The way I made it, you have to pretty obtuse as a blogger to go below 60%. But there I go again judging. If someone gets 100% it just means they selected a combination of answers that were all 100%. In other words, there is more than one option on many questions worth 100%. There are only a scant few answer choices that are worth 0% or 20% and below.

It’s an experiment, so far I think it’s been accurate more or less.

Thanks for taking the quiz and for putting me on your reader!
