Be Your Own Detective is an educational type of blog where you can learn a lot about ways to find out things about people using online resources. From simple advice such as googling yourself, that blind date your friend set you up with, or a potential employee to things like getting credit reports and other information in public records to make sure that it’s accurate.

One of the posts that I’m sure will be a strong traffic magnet for some time to come is titled “My Super Duper Free Links Page“. It contains a huge list of links that are useful for conducting different kinds of investigations, most of which are free.

The list ranges from State Public Records Links and Government Agencies to Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies

Readability 9

Text color used is #40454B (dark gray, almost black) text in a 12 point ‘Verdana’ font makes reading pretty easy. Personally, I would have just made the text black instead of any shade of gray.

Layout 9

A customized Blogger layout where the content loads on the left side before the sidebar starts loading.

Load time 7.5
It’s a bit long in loading, firebug reports 136 requests (1.03mb) loaded in 24.66 seconds, however since the post content loads early and the scroll is so easy even while loading, the load time isn’t really an issue.

Scrollability 9.8

There is only a slight hesitation as the page first begins to load and then it scrolls effortlessly even though the page is still loading.

Writing 9.5

The writer has an informative style that’s tempered with a bit of humor and shameless self-promotion thrown in for good measure. Overall it’s a very educational read for those wanting to learn how to find out things about themselves or others online.

Total Score 44.8
