The blog I find to review is called "Tempyra", its web address is www.tempyra.com. Tempyra designs in a beautifully simple blog way and maintained by blogger Sasha who is living in Australia now. She started the blog in July, 2007. Firstly, look at the structure of "Tempyra", it framed in a classic two column Word-press template with one of my favorite colour of green. And the blog gives reviewers some feeling like old fashion or cloth book cover. On the right top side, we can find recent posts, categories, quote of the week, blog-roll, meta, my stylefeed and Sasha's MeVu profile, which such friendly design save reviewer's time as they don't need to dig to get into the backstory and the content. At the lower part of this blog, there are some interesting widgets such as blogrush and google tools. And Also google advertisement is below that. On the left part of "Tempyra" is where blogger writes her content and pictures are frequently posted.
"Tempyra" has lots of interesting and attractive content. The blogger originally comes from New Zealand, as a New Zealander, she enjoys the greener life, and proud of her country with beautiful view and environment. So we can find she writes a lot issues about the environment and climate, for instance, on 14th December, the story tells the interesting effects of climate change and on 6th November, recycling is the issue Sasha blogging about. With these articles in the air, blogger shares her own feelings and thoughts about climate issues, and examines her own life and goals. Since the internet connects everyone and everywhere, no matter what the blogger writes, it refreshes people's mind and puts thoughts into works instead of telling the rest of the world what is happening.
Of course, environment issue is not the only thing Sasha writes on "Tempyra", other great elements of this site are traveling, clothing, eating, animals world and some interesting stuffs. For example, Monday Droolfest is one of my favorite feature on the site which Sasha talks a lot of vegetable dishes, and she provides detailed recipe such as the making of mango cake, snowpea salad and pumpkin soup, also Sasha gives her own reason and experience on why we should love theses dishes. Beside these articles, we also can know more about Sasha personally, for example, on the first day of 2008, she writes something about eight mistakes that she would not make in 2008, and her thoughts of the New Year. Some of the eight mistakes, I think everybody should take a look at it and follow her idea such as we should not eating fast food and go out for more activities instead of getting stuck indoors. The last thing I would like to recommend is the picture; well-written article with fine images underneath makes the whole reading and viewing time more enjoyable. On her last update, Sasha writes the content about "Postcards from Imperial Russia", and uses five retro looking postcards featuring wide open public spaces, mass public transport and beautiful buildings.
Over all, "Tempyra" is a very enjoyable blog, every time when you have a look at this site, and there are something can surprise and attract your attention
