Blog Review: Hibs Blog
Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious. To me, an American living in the Philippines, "Hibs" means nothing. To someone from Scotland, however, it means the "Hibernian Football Club".
What is the "Hibs Blog" all about?
After finding out what "Hibs" meant, it's obvious to me that this blog is all about the Hibernian Football Club and news regarding the club. I'm not into sports, so I can't give you a lot of detail.
Site Design
The template design looks to be an older version of the WordPress Cutline theme, customized (as expected) specifically for this blog. There is absolutely no clutter anywhere that I could see.
The only annoyance in the design that I could find was that the theme is not centered, as you can see from the image above, and butts up against the left side of the screen. That's fine if you're serving people with 1024×768 resolutions and lower. At higher resolutions, however, there's a lot of empty white space on the right side.
There is one major problem. The contact page is completely missing. The link is dead.
Article and Post Content
Again, I'm not into sports. I couldn't tell a good news article from a bad one. I picked the latest article, "Hibs v’s Middlesboro’ and Wigan", to pick on (I mean examine) in order to see how Richard writes. His command of the English language is fine and I didn't see anything unusual.
My Overall Opinion
If you're into football and more specifically, Scottish football, then this blog would probably interest you. I can't say it interests me or I'd be lying. I'm simply not enthused by sports of any kind. I understand the mechanics of the games (or at least, most of them), but I just can't get hog wild about competition. My wife, on the other hand, screams bloody murder at all basketball games even when she's watching them on the television.
I think the blog's well done and can only improve as it gains in popularity. I think Richard needs to market it a little better, but I can't tell him how to do it since sports is not one of my areas of expertise.
Would you like a Review?
My reviews aren't the best. They aren't even close. They are one thing, though. They're free! No refunds and no exchanges. Make your blog the very best you can make it and then submit it on my Request A Blog Review page and I'll try to make my review the best I can make it.

I read similar article also named Review: Hibs Blog, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
