@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.

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:
http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/advances-pave-way-powerful-carbon-based-electronics-15045.html

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

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.

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!
