Sorry for the long wait, had been busy lately.
Here's the review for the blogs, in order of the earlier posted ones.

Review for [URL="http://blog.eches.net/"]http://blog.eches.net/[/URL]

It's rather neat. The headings are in bold and a larger font then the subheadings, creating a better contrast, keep up the good work on that.

You can further improve by...
- Making a slightly darker background for the ads, to show contrast between the entry and ads, also to give the blog a more pleasant feel.
- Place a divider after each entry. It can be a straight line or some fancy border thingy, but a divider helps the viewer to distinguish an entry from another, so it's recommended to place one.
- Increase the amount of pictures. One is not enough, place a few related pictures to further describe and put your website across to appeal to your viewers.

Reading substance: 8 / 10
Layout: 7 / 10
Images: 3 / 10
X-factor: 7 / 10
Variety: 8 / 10
Language: Normal English with an addition of internet lingual.
Profanity: None.
Audience factor: All ages, ranging on interest

Overall : Recommended, [URL="http://rainyuki.diaryland.com"][/URL]

The substance in your website is good, but your layout needs a few tweaks to bring out its full brilliance. Overall, a good blog.

I'm not sure if [url]http://www.investormarketnews.blogspot.com/[/url] wants me to review her blog, as it only states "check it out". I'll skip it until further confirmation by the user.

Review for [URL="http://mortgageloanuniverse.blogspot.com/"]http://mortgageloanuniverse.blogspot.com/[/URL]

Substance is overall useful and entertaining - however...
- There is a serious lack of images
The html code is <img src="Yourimage.jpg"> to put in an image.

- Too many entries on one page
It's hard to read if you slip your hand off the scroll bar and try to find the entry again. If the entries are short, try to limit the number of entries to 8, and if the entries are long, approximately 5 entries per page.

- Contrast
Try to darken or lighten the background of your side profile or ads to allow easier and more pleasant viewing of your blog.

Reading substance: 8 / 10
Layout: 6 / 10
Images: 0 / 10
X-factor: 5 / 10
Variety: 7 / 10
Language: Normal English with an addition of finance knowledge.
Profanity: None.
Audience factor: More for adults, ranging on interest.

Overall: [URL="http://rainyuki.diaryland.com"][/URL] Recommended. Substance is good, layout is average(it's not really your fault as it is a custom layout, but you can try to make changes). To further enhance your website, try out the suggestions given.

The project is never finished totally until viewers do not require a review.
Since you asked directly for those certain pointers, i shall review your blog according to your preferences. Alright, here goes.

Review for [URL="http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/"]http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/[/URL]

a) Do I think the content is useful?
It is useful depending on whether your viewers have interest in making money online. An example is, a kid might not appreciate your content as they won't really understand a thing of it. An adult, on the other hand, depending on their interest, would appreciate what you have written and take up your suggestions.

So... what I'm saying is...
It is useful for making money online, if your viewers are interested in doing so.

b) Whether the layout is ok?
The layout is average. As it is plain black and white on the majority, it tends to get glaring after awhile. There is also a lack of contrast between the entry, heading and side profile.

c) Whether it is userfriendly or not?
1. You don't have annoying pop-ups - userfriendly
2. Glaring layout(as explained above) - not userfriendly
3. Good reading substance - userfriendly
4. Lack of related Images - not userfriendly
5. Too many entries on a page - not userfriendly.

It all depends.

d) any suggestions for improvements
If you have read the above, you might have gotten an idea of any suggestions that I could give you.

Here is a list of suggestions, just created for your convenience.
- Adjust your layout a little, add slightly larger images, brighten or dull the background colour to create contrast, make the heading more appealing(add an image or change the font or something).
- Your entries are long, try to limit them to a few and archive the rest to make it easier for viewing.

Overall : [URL="http://rainyuki.diaryland.com"][/URL] Recommended, but you have quite a lot to touch up on, if you want to make it more appealing.

rainyuki, thank you very much for your comments.

You are the second person who has mentioned putting more colour into the blog. I might seriously think about adding an image to the header, and cutting down on the entries on the page.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble.
