Review:

I've been waiting for a while to make sure that when I submit a post it is worth it's merits. The Geniant blog is one that really stood out to me as something that would definitely be worth writing a review for. Upon the first impression of the site it doesn't scream blog! which so many sites do these days. The Geniant blog presents it's information much clearer and very easy to read format.

The design is very well thought through. The color selections and typography are clean and very well defined. All around this is a very impressive blog.

The topics are very useful...I've already added them to my RSS feed...and come from a variety of writers with some impressive credits in the online community.

This site is a really interesting read and gets my stamp of approval...which is worth less than the paper it's printed on.

A lot of information laid out very cleanly, and I agree with Seth that its a refreshing design for a blog. I think the blog will be a helpful tool to help push their services on geniant.com.

Nice work.

Nice pick Seth, I was waiting for Simon who was threatening to post a review, and almost didn't notice this one being from, "one of the new guys".

Interesting color scheme, and a slightly different blog design. Worth adding to the feed reader also I bet.

Very nice and clean design !

Altho the yellow gradient becomes a little to bright. It makes the site lose it's warmth. But I like it and will also subscribe myself to the rss feed ^^

good work

Whereas the colour scheme does not entirely agree with my tastes it's a wonderfully clean site, especially given the varying subjects and quantity of content it supports. I like subtle graphical touches like the dark-grey gradient at the top of the page and styled submit buttons. Very nice and good addition to SG :)

Impressive pick, Seth! Overall nice and clean, good use of typo and color. Like it a lot!

Seems like more and more sites have this kind of layout which is something like an interior wall with a dado rail, so the page is divided horizontally in two. In fact you could say the last 2 previous sites in the Stylegala gallery share the same structure. The new black? I guess it's a step away from the 'vertical block with drop-shadows' that has been the standard for a while.
