For each blog, there is a detailed overview page where people can learn more, find related blogs, view recent posts with direct links to full posts and also contribute their own reviews in a visually-rich format.
Visitors can browse by categories, sub-categories, or keywords and sort by user rating, popularity, and editor rating, in order to find the blogs that are important to them.
