What is Your Blog’s Reading Level?

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on November 17, 2007 at 6:41 pm


Critics Rant created the Blog Readibility Test, an online tool to check what level of education is required to understand your blog. The tool is easy to
use: just plug in your blog’s URL to find out.

Apparently, to understand Neatorama, you need at least a high school education!

    …and to read mine you have to be a genius. I guess that is what’s required to understand the ramblings of an idiot.

    I have a web site with no writing on it whatsoever, that too is genius level!

    Damn…all my blog novels are ranked at college level. I don’t know if I should be happy or wishing they were more complicated…

    College level for some parts of mine, apparently.

    Guess I’ve got to try harder to get those geniuses.

    What, though, of high-school geniuses, then? What do they read?

    Some people have expressed doubts about the algorithm: http://volokh.com/posts/1194655965.shtml#291036

    I got ‘genius’, so I’m ignoring them.

    My blog’s reading level is “elementary school” too! ^^
    Nice tool.

    Just a word of warning, most automated readability tools are easily thrown off into giving false results when they encounter unknown words, such as names or slang. These will usually inflate your readability level.

    Not sure how accurate this specific tool is though :)

    Junior high? Pffft. I guess I need to be more grandiloquent.

    One would need a high school education to read my little blog. Not surprising since I’m high functioning autistic and barely spell worth a damn anyway. Don’t talk worth a damn either. I love Neatorama though, and I think that anyone who believes that blog tool is a tool.
