"The Mother Load" - a site for mothers who are not afraid to tell it like it is - just got the nod for a Bloggie Award.The well-designed blog is maintained by best buds - Jenica Bergere and Brooke Purdy - who have incorporated myriad strands of video, audio, and plain text into the mix with surprising entertaining results.
To snag some attention for the site - the winsome twosome put on their "thinking caps" - and came up with a catchy hook to pique the interest of the folks who dole out the Bloggie Awards.
“Just because you’re a mommy does't mean you can’t talk smack.”
After taking a gander, there was a ceremonious drum roll, and the results were tabulated.
For "Visual Aesthetics" the site rated a "10".
Mother Load nabbed this top honor because the home page is crafted in vivid colors which complement each other well in the overall mix.
A photo of the two moms and their kids is worth - as they say - a thousand words!
In addition, salient eye-catching photos are scattered within the posts, to spice up the dialogue.
"User Friendliness" garnered a "10" as well.
Mother Load was given kudos for offering up links to all relevant content within the site in a straightforward manner that warmed up to the browser.
Ah, another "10", for actual reading enjoyment.
So, it wasn't just a lot of eye candy, eh?
The bloggies issued a word of caution, though.
For the prudish - "Mother" may be quite the load to swallow - without blushing at least!
Because the site is relatively new, blog radar scored the content at "8".
The blogger "Moms" advice on a handful of issues isn't too practical in the strictest sense, according to the critic reviewing the site.
For "Overall Experience", the Mother Load nudged up a tad higher to land a "9".
The reason?
If you're a mother - tired of being labelled and stuck in a box - Mother Load is inclined to inspire those who are bogged down to get out, kick up their heels, and have some merriment in their otherwise dreary lives.
Amen!
