I really can't decide what to think of that.

I was wandering around some of the other blogs on this site and found one that had an embedded object from another site--one of those things you get that says if you're more like Homer, Bart, or Lisa Simpson. This one labeled the blog as being a "post-graduate" level. I clicked the link and it takes you to a site where you enter your blog URL and the page evaluates your blog for vocabulary and perhaps sentence structure or something, then assigns a reading level.

This blog is ranked as "junior high".

I'm not too thrilled about being rated as someone who's so illiterate that his blog is marked as "best for 14-year-olds". On the other hand, I strive to write simply, admiring Hemingway more than Faulkner when it comes to prose. I guess I'll live with it and simply claim that my blog is more readable and less pretentious than Mr. "post-grad".
