1. Content(writing styles, etc.)
I love the content in this blog. Full of humor, imagination and pure fun! I have been a watcher/reader of this blog for quite a while now, and really enjoy it. It has an additive quality to it... wondering what Jenn is up to now.
2. Colors (eye-catching, blends, etc.)
I am partial to green so this blog speaks to me... lol! The colors are so well done, they blend together seamlessly, And they go so perfectly with the header! Nice Job!
3. Fonts (Background contrasts, etc.)
The fonts used are so easy on the eyes, and the background has just enough color in it to keep your eyes from burning while reading. I really appreciate that... Thank-you!
4. Layouts (orderly, theme etc.)
I think the layout on this blog is awesome, from the header to the content space and sidebars. Every thing is in order and easy to see what is where, and it doesn't distract from each other.
5. Navigational (working links. etc.)
As far as I could tell, all the links that I used on this blog worked great. The navigation from post to post is very easy, and finding the comment section is also easy. It is nice going to blogs and not having to search for where to click to find the information your looking for.
I love your blog Jenn. It has been a while since my last visit, (darn life gets in the way sometimes) But I am glad I had the chance today to catch up! You have a well written funny blog that is fun to relax with.. I enjoyed my visit as usual and will be back, hopefully sooner.... :)

Its good informative and helpful for me.
Pwn Greenland
I dunno. Some of the content is alright but the posts go on far too long; nothing helps to keep my interest. On occasion, there are some nuggets of win but overall, it's just another average weblog.
Aoi
Wonderful stories and satire, told with style and substance. Always worth a read.
shambhu kumar
nice blog you have made keep it up.
Daniela
I also have to tell you that my uncle used the same name "cabbages and Kings" to open his restaurant!! but your blog is more popular than the food there, i have to say.
Daniela
Wow. that is a really nice blog. Something to aspire to. Humor is probably the hardest style of writing...you walk a thin line between raunchiness and corn. Anyway, congrats, I def. enjoy your blog!

It made me laugh - which is good because I am so grumpy that I can make flowers wilt with one glare
Tony Single
Fantastic! I could not stop laughing! Your blog puts a big, fat grin on my face that just won't quit! Bravo!

Jenn Thorson, much like my friend Caren Lissner, (http://www.carriepilby.com/) is a true Jersey girl. I find her to be verry funny and heartwarming. Cabbages and Kings you will find, is a very entertaining blog!
Arrica Lee
LMAO! Great one!
Lynda Lehmann
Wow, you write well with a lot of wit--you really know how to pull a punch-line!
This is a very funny blog that I would recommend to anyone who wants to add some humor to his/her day.
Graham
How can anyone rate this blog less than 'Five Star?'
Articulate, well crafted, witty, and I am glad I found this!
RecycleCindy
Jenn is a talented, funny blogger who entertains us with her wit on Cabbages and Kings. A fantastic blog worthy of a 5-star rating!
Mary
Amusing & entertaining. Always something new to chuckle over.
Karen Delaney
Truly a magnificent blog. A great author with a serious vocabulary and a sarcastic sense of humor who reminds me of who I wish I was!

This blog made me ponder... dwell... and it really caused me to re-think a lot of positions I have taken this morning as I sip my coffee and read it..
Like maybe we do need to wear jammies at work... talk about equalizer...
Also in the discovery of the antiqued thing-a-ma-jig on the side table at the hotel really got me to wondering what it could be for... for a minute, until I was distracted by the Zombie situation! :)
I loved my visit to this blog, it started my day off with a smile and a what--the???
Thank-you! :)

A blog which is always creative and humorous. Just like its owner.

Out of all the humor bloggers I've met in recent months, Jenn Thorson is by far the best, with no offense to the many other very funny bloggers there. However, her posts day after day, week after week, month after month and I have no doubt year after year (will) continue to inspire others that writing and blogging funny are not two separate pursuits. For her, she makes it one pursuit: one, which most of us have yet to attain, but which she already has.

Jenn is a fantastic writer, not to mention hilarious! Come see what all the funny is about.
Greg
I thank Jenn for the chuckles she brings me each day with her humor writing. It's clear she's got a talent for helping us see the Funny in things, and that's a MOST welcome gift in this crazy world.
Laughter is, after all, the seasoning that makes so much of Life palatable, and we should just pour it on everything. Well, almost everything. No, Everything. Because good gods, Life is too short.
Read this blog. Every day.
Mark Stoneman
So many humor blogs are mean. This one isn't. Nor does it rely on the dirt in our headlines. Just Jenn's unique view on the silliness of this world.
Andrea
I just read a couple of Jenn's posts and loved them. This is the kind of humor I like: dry, witty, based on every day life and makes me think.
Loved it!
Alice
Jenn doesn't write any half-assed posts. I love this girl and her sheep cartoons! She writes soooo well, especially when she's taking on the butt-scoochers (sp?) of the world!
Damon
I checked it. No cabbage. No kings. But funny? Yeah, lots of funny!
chatblanc (aka Sandy)

Sheila Dilling
This is a great blog - very funny! Love the thrift blog, too. I'll be back to see what you are up to!!
William McCamment
Read this blog. If you do, you will never stop. Cabbages and Kings is rapidly climbing the charts here at BlogCatalog and for good reason: It is simply one of the best humor blogs out there.
Jenn's writing always brightens my day--without fail--and, that's what a humor blog should be! It is rare to find original humor that is truly funny without resorting to something sadistic or flying off into a rant. But, here it is!
Cabbages and Kings is both charming and hilarious. I recommend it highly--especially if you need a good laugh. There is no question it deserves a 10. Easily one of the best out there--maybe even THE best!
Joe
Very well-crafted. Best humor blog. It's part of my daily reading ritual.

Hi Im thinking of doing a feature of other peoples blogs in my sidebar, to make it fair i was going to display 5 blogs for a week/month at a time depending on how many of you would like to join in. I would like to feature yours if you allow me to, i will have a thumbnail view of your blog & add a link directly to it.
thanks
Michele
What a great humorous blog. A must read for anyone, looking for a good laugh or two. I'm totally hooked.
Jack Payne
Take a jigger of dry humor, mix with some cynicism and iffy reasoning, and sprinkle with a touch of madness and you have Cabbages and Kings--a most entertaining blog if ever there was one.
Static
Wow, I'm your very first review!
Of Cabbages and Kings is funny, witty, insightful.
A direct reflection of the world seen in a funhouse mirror... and there's some talk about cabbages, kings and a certain fictional web surfing pomeranian who can write better advice columns on Yahoo, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Ok, now I'm making sense. I'll stop now.
Really enjoyed readingn some of your posts. Will be back for more. Nice blog; attractive and well-organized and written.
