Some random comments from our reviewers:

"I'm sorry, but I just don't understand this blog at all."

"I plumbed through their lists and even got a chuckle or two, but mostly their attempts fell flat."

"This blog is funny. The guy insults the Irish and I'm Irish and it's still funny. My only problem was that it wasn't that easy to navigate, but that might just be me. Overall, I'd take the time to read it once a week."

"I found this blog moderately amusing. Actually, some of it was flat out funny -- unfortunately, other parts were not. of course, I may not be the "target" reader, which would go a long way towards giving this blogger a reason to discount my comments. Not a fan of the black template OR the tiny print, either."

"The design is attrocious. A better layout and a bigger font would be nice. I might actually visit this one again. It's like watching a comedian develop their material instead of presenting you with their best work. A little polishing and this one will be great."

"I'm sure this blog would appeal to someone, but that someone isn't me. I read as many posts as I could before I called it quits due to the black background."

"It just seems like they are trying too hard. The count down blog had a couple of snickers but nothing much past that."

"I read ten posts and I couldn't figure out why anyone would laugh at this stuff. I wanted to like it but it was just stupid."

"I really enjoyed this blog for a lot of reasons; well-written, very clever and the slightly caustic tone really appealed to me. But with all of that going for it, it's not really funny; certainly clever, certainly smart, but not more than average on the Fun-Ee-Meter."

"It's not Andy's fault that I see so many blogs wearing that same template like it was last season's, but it's just tiresome. I do love his Notorious List. Good snark there."

"OK, I had never heard of this blog before and I just spent the entire morning reading 'The List'. Yeah, pretty much the whole thing. Very funny stuff. The other posts were funny as well. I like the inclusion of a lot of pictures, it's sort of his 'thing', but it makes it hard to read by disrupting flow. This one will be a frequent visit from now on."

"Celebrity gossip and rude/ obnoxious humour are both huge turn offs for me."

"I immediately added this to my bookmarks for future 'reference.' I rated them nearly-consistent 9 for their snarky humor. However, I didn't give them a 10 for that: It's like a one trick pony."

"Never have I heard such eloquent use of the word, 'bitch.' Honestly, this stuff is hilarious! It brings the rant to a whole new level."

"Quirky, weird, original, and occasionally really funny posts. I don't always know what's going on, but I don't think it really matters."

Good luck figuring all that out, Andy. Other than getting rid of the black background, I've got no good suggestions for you. If you want to reach a wider audience, you may need to make the site a little more friendly to new readers who don't know what the hell you're talking about. On the other hand, confusing people may just be part of your schtick, like Andy Kauffman or the I.R.S.
