Blog readability test - A funny blog testing tool

Posted on the January 5th, 2008 under Blogging, Internet by dicky

Blog readability test is an interesting tool to test your blog readability, to determine what level of education is required to understand your blog.

I discovered this interesting tool today and would like to share it with my readers. Enter your blog/website URL and hit enter, the result will appear after few seconds.

There are a few reading level: Elementary school, Junior high school, High school, and Genius. I am not sure how they determine the level of education required to read our blog, but i guess this is depends on the design/layout of our website.Try to check out google.com, it required Genius level to dead!

For some reasons, all the blogs I entered turned out to be Elementary. Lols, I can accept mine to be elementary cause blog entries are of my personal life… so that means my life is easier to understand…?

Ah well!

Mine is also junior high school. You are right , I wonder how they check the readibility. I think thee less the html code of the page, higher the readability and vice versa. The same link i.e http://www.criticsrant.com/bb/reading_level.aspx has readability level of genius.

I would guess that the readability has more to do with the vocabulary used than the format. For example the homepage for http://www.scienceblog.com has a rating of college undergrad, but specific articles range from high school to genius. They all have the same format, so it’s pretty simple to rule that out. See some examples:

Genius:

High School: http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/why-some-depressed-girls-cant-smell-roses-15156.html

@KnowledgeNinja: I think you are right… I had asked my friends to try out. They have similar blog design, but the results are different. So i think it is not relate to the design/layout.
