Finally. 
Read all about it …..
Yvy’s Cozy Corner
Yvy has been waiting impatiently for a review ever since she submitted her blog URL to me, so here it is - I bumped you up a couple of spots just for trying to help me out with that button task. ~ But..but…I asked you to hit me with your best shot. Then again….never mind lar!! Lol 
This is a Wordpress-powered blog, featuring a Gemini template, as the footer informs us. Nice bright template, easy to read font. The words “teh tarik” and “nasi lemak” already make me feel right at home.
The Google ads at the top are pretty small and non-invasive, but I can’t say the same for the ones in the right column. Still, as most blogs these days seem to be incomplete without these ads, I’ve become accustomed to seeing them and can ignore them readily enough.
This is a personal blog but what sets it apart from others is that Yvy writes with passion. You can practically feel her emotions as she writes her posts, whether it’s anger at animal cruelty or happiness at finding a spiffy new blog template. Lots of punctuation to emphasise her points. ~ Oh, I feel the coming ons of a VERY VERY over the top, almost reaching danger level of my perasanism attack coming on!
One thing I don’t quite like is the way many words are capitalised in the posts - I guess it’s meant for emphasis but sometimes it breaks the flow of the sentence. I would use it only when absolutely necessary, especially as capitalised words are equivalent to shouting on the Internet. E.g: “Although she’s months late for LAST years birthday, she’s the FIRST to wish me this year” and “If you’re wondering WHY I’ve been silent for SO long. Blame my BLURNESS”. ~ Need some work on this bit. Maybe I should use Italics instead of capital letters.
The ‘Archives’ link in the top navigation bar doesn’t work. The same link on the right works, but the page itself is blank except for some coding. I finally got to the archives using the monthly links further below. ~ Ugghhh….need some kind techie master to help me with these bloopers - any takers? Coz like BC, I’m tech-retard too. 
This blog seems pretty popular judging by the number of comments and I can see why. Yvy comes across as bubbly, sociable and passionate about a lot of things. She writes about things that others can relate to and comment on, and tries to make her blog as interactive as possible. From her style of writing I would say she’s about 20, but I know otherwise Very young at heart! ~ O.M.G!!!! 
:shock: I’M YOUNG! I’M YOUNG!! At heart….:mrgreen:
My rating: 7/10
By the way, Yvy, from your Silktide site score, it seems that your blog appears to be in violation of the British Disability Discrimination Act … tch tch ~ Aiyah….rules are meant to be broken or in this particular case - violated. Makes things more ‘interesting’. Wouldn’t you agree? Plus, you can’t please everyone, can you?
Thank you once again for this review.
