Wow, things have been crazy lately. G is dealing with some personal issues, so you're going to have to settle for me.
Mark Rayner's blog, The Squib, got a decent score from our reviewers. A few folks who really didn't like it dragged down the overall positive appraisal, and apparently the site was having some technical problems during the review period. Isn't that just the way?

Percentile Rank: 61Some quotes from our reviewers:
Definitely not treading the same ground as most. The RoboPope killed me, though so do Geico commercials, so take that as you will.
The faux articles can be cheeky but one every once in a while would suffice. I liked the variety of humor that the blog had although I didn't find a lot of it all that haha-funny but smiling-funny. The layout was what I liked the best.
Great satirical content from The Skwib. This is one that I will definitely be adding to my blogroll at some point.
At first I didn't "get" this blog, so I read further, and it just wasn't laugh out loud funny to me. Although I did enjoy the "Bitty" YouTube.
This blog is less interesting then watching butter melt. But hey, he's published so what the fuck do I know.
This guy has an imagination! There's some great fiction in here, although it is not always funny, but it is always interesting.
I would probably score it better if I was able to see more than one of the supposed 1100+ posts. Hopefully the author will be able to get them back. But the one post I read, Jesussic Park, was hilarious (though I would imagine a lot of negative comments/hatred coming your way because of what looks like making fun of 'Jesus').
The white look of the blog with that header is nice and neat, though a little plain and personally, I am not too keen about just 2 columns in a blog.
I'm not sure if this guy has had a change of heart, or what, but I got nothing but a blank page and an alert that wordpress was not installed. I would have given all ones, but I can't knock his writing without having read it.
Good job, Mark.
