Blog readability

I take great pride in having a blog that most people have the reading level to understand. You see, I’m not ageist, sexist or elitist. Anyone that can read is welcome to my blog. Currently working on a solution to make it easier to understand for people that are illiterate. I don’t want to exclude anyone! :D

  2. Mine is high school too! I can’t help it. I’ve got 40 plus years of words in my head.

  5. Heh-heh, your post made me laugh out loud Emmie! Mine gets a ‘college–undergraduate’ level. Of course after checking this I was compelled to try it for a bunch of other blogs. The weirdest thing happened–an extremely basic one by old friends of mine (eg, we went to disneyworld today. It was fun!) got a “Genius” level! (???) Obviously this reading-level rater isn’t something to take too seriously, but messing around with it did make for an entertaining half hour. :)

  7. Hi Emmie, we’re right there in the elementary school with you!

    I completely believe that simplicity is the key to a lot of things, and even in my academic writing it’s the hardest part; writing clearly about complicated issues. But those things are mostly written in Finnish of course…

  8. I have to say I was actually shocked when mine said “high school” I though for sure I would be “elementary school”!

  9. ah… mine was disappointingly college postgrad must have been those few posts about the scientific studies… I am glad it’s not genius though even though the picture of the brain would look nice :) Thanks for this post!
