Nothing to See Here was another solid hit, though not a grand slam, with our reviewers (that's a baseball metaphor, for you Europeans). Most of our reviewers appreciated Chris' wit, and the only recurring negative was the slightly clunky design (and there wasn't full agreement on that). An impressive 57% of the reviewers said they'd be back for more.

Some quotes from our reviewers:
"Not bad, not good. I may have found Absolute Neutral..."
"Very interesting blog. Not just original humor pieces but lots of other humor-related stuff as well. I like it!"
"This blog is pretty funny, with a promise to be even funnier. His writing is decent and overall, I see a spark there. I'd check back to see how it develops. I'd also like to thank Chris for introducing me to the term shizznit (is that the new bomb, Chris?) " [editor's note: No.]
"Great design."
"Who is this guy? He's hilarious! One of the best new blogs I've seen. His Beatles post that Ringo was the mastermind of the band -- priceless."
"This blog only got a couple of chuckles out of me, the humor is too forced, and most of it just isn't funny at all."
"I just...I wanted to like it more than I did. It kind of struck me as The Onion Extra Lite. I didn't dislike it, but...it's just not as good as you think it's going to be. Kind of like Kristen Dunst."
"Quite amusing! I'll definitely be back."
"This is really funny stuff. It's hard to top The Onion with news parodies, but Chris comes close sometimes. His 'Weekly Humor Column' is amusing as well. Why must I click to continue reading? What a pain!"
"It's funny. Not split your sides funny, but humorous."
"This blog defines 'snark' in every way. The articles read like parodies of news articles - as they should - and the attacks on the politically correct are a definite plus."
"What is up with all the little symbols under each and every post? Ugh. Did not find it interesting at all."
"It was ok. Just didn't catch my interest or attention really. I thought the post previews were too short. Didn't really get me reading any of them in just a couple of lines."
"Corny humor with a cluttered mess of a design. Never have I seen a more aptly named blog."
"This is a talented writer. Unfortunately, it takes a bit of effort to get to the part of his blog where you get to actually read what he's written.... All those widgets repeated over and over are initially a big turn off. As is having to click on to a link to get to the body of his post.... I see a lot of promise here -- and I really hope he finds a way to deliver!"
"Fine attempt at being original. It also made me laugh at times - which is a definate bonus in a humour blog!"
"Okay - I have to say I liked this blog very much. The author genuinely takes the time to find interesting stuff for the readers, and the sense of humor is a light touch. The look of the site is pretty clean, and I like that - the layout is straight-forward, allowing linear thought, and a flow for the user. Good stuff."
So good job, Chris. Looks like you've got some new readers. Keep up the good work, keep polishing your style, and maybe clean up the template a bit, and you'll be on your way to a very successful blog.
