Pretty Bits Review

From the name of the site alone, it's hard to tell what exactly to expect. I didn't know if it was design oriented, or more geared towards women and technology or whatever else pops in my head. But then seeing the actual site, you realize that it's a little bit of everything. It is written and designed by a woman, so that's where the pretty part comes into play, and for a blog this site is actually very pretty. But looking deeper into it, theres some really good reviews, photoshop tutorials and randomness that is of surprising interest to people.
The blog hits a downside when it comes to updates and organization a little bit. It took me a little bit of time to find everything I was looking for, but that was probably just me. As far as the tutorials go, they are in depth and anybody could follow them through, but they are not that advanced and I didn't find much practicality in them.
It is also sparsely updated, and in the end averages out to a little over once a month. And in 2006 it averaged to less than one update per month. So, with that little bit of extra effort, this blog had the potential to be good at selling itself, but falls short when it comes to putting the effort in.
