The BoBo Files

 Conservative
Read the review
The evil conservative clown mixes passion with sarcasm to the hot topics of the day. Taking a true Freedom of Speech approach towards blogging, he encourages debate by those who share different opinions.

I would like to welcome you to the first website review for our Political Blog Listing. The author of The BoBo Files has graciously volunteered his website so we could create a few sample reviews for future Bloggers to read when considering to have their own sites reviewed. With that, let’s get started.

The BoBo Files takes a Conservative view on the issues, though the website does not follow the Republican Party talking points. Following the hot topics of the day, the author structures the articles in a well-researched manner that encourages discussion. The level of debate is evident, as most of his posts receive comments, many with more than 10 different people sharing their views.

Another way the author encourages the exchange of ideas is through his weekly “carnival.” A Blog Carnival is service where various Bloggers can submit their articles for consideration on a different website. In the case of The BoBo Files, the author encourages Bloggers to submit their articles by Saturday each week, choosing from one of the seven following categories: conservative, democrats, liberal, libertarian, news, politics, or republicans. Averaging at least 15 submissions on a weekly basis for all across the political spectrum, the author takes time to read and comment on the submissions when posted.

In addition to the carnival, the author actively reads other websites and chooses articles of interest to discuss. It doesn’t matter if the article is something the author agrees with or not, but the author gives credit and links back to the original article. With over 150 daily viewers, these links back to other sites drives needed traffic to other Bloggers out there.

One criticism we have with The BoBo Files is the extensive use of advertisements and banners in the right-hand sidebar. The high number of graphics and links leads to a slow load time. We find it quicker to load the site using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer, however using the RSS feed tends to be an easier option for the causal reader.

Over all, the website is very well done, full of thoughtful and interesting original content. Other than a passing four-lettered word from time to time, the content is family friendly with no adult content displayed. And unless you suffer from Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), you should take a moment and visit the site.
