Your World Gallery doesn’t really have a logo, so here’s a handy picture of the website.

Your World Gallery is a blog with art in it – at least, that’s what its “Welcome Message” implies:

“Welcome to the new Your World Gallery. Where you can discover new art works and the artists who made them. We cover a wide range of topics here on this blog as we are active with in our community and want to contribute in any way we can.”

I say implies because it states (directly after the fragmented sentence [+1 point] that tells you it’s an art blog. Welcome messages are the most important things as they are the first a visitor sees – don’t mess them up!) that it covers a wide range of topics. So I suppose it isn’t really a blog about art at all. Imposter!

SO WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT, THEN?
My first impression of Your World Gallery was that it was just your average “blog-about-blogging” blog due to the fact that it had a few posts about contests, WordPress themes, and the obligatory “post” about credit card refinancing [+1 point]. After further inspection, I actually found some art on the site! Not a lot, mind you, but what was there was… interesting. Most of the content is related to web development, although the content ranges from family to blogging. Your World Gallery definitely isn’t a niche blog – it’s more of a melting pot (the polite way of saying “a bunch of random stuff”). The posts it does have are written conversationally (always a good thing) but do have some minor spelling and grammatical errors which really detract from the blog [+1 point].

IT LOOKS NICE, THOUGH.
It’s true! Your World Gallery looks good – the author, Collin, adds images to most posts and overall the theme has a sleek design that is quite Web 2.0 [-1 point]

BUT THE LAYOUT…
Your World Gallery has a few problems regarding what’s going on in its sidebar. Apparently, Collin loved his categories so much that he included them not once but twice [+1 point]. He also has that weird WordPress “meta” tab that I’m pretty sure no one ever uses, much like their appendix. But, hey, perhaps he’s found a use for it and is in fact a medical blogical blogging genius. At least he has an RSS button near the top of his page.

THE FINAL VERDICT
Due to Blog Badly’s complex and time-consuming system of tallying points based on 2nd grade mathematics, here’s a recap of what Your World Gallery is.

• The welcome message is messed up! [+1 point]
• Credit card financing. Need I say more? [+1 point]
• Grammatical and spelling errors. [+1 point]
• Looks nice! [-1 point]
• Two categories tabs? [+1 point]

Your World Gallery has potential, but it lacks polish. If it were carefully proofread, the layout improved, and the content a bit more focused, then it could be great. Until then, it receives three thumbs down from Blog Badly (comparatively, this is slightly better than average). Congratulations!
