Whats a good blog?

Same question I've been trying to answer since I first started blogging on Xanga about 4 years ago. Below are a few sample criteria that I've brainstormed up or have already been stated in class, feel free to discuss and comment:

layout- can be template but with contrasting legible colors and reasonable font size.
frequency of updates - I think for this class is set at minimum 1/week?
organization - endless rambling or organized thoughts? variation in content (eg. news, opinions, class review, daily ramble...) or same throughout?
relevance - is there an excessive amount of posts unrelated to class or Japaneses cultural in general? (this is a Japaneses class blog project after all)

comments- does the blogger respond with relevant comments to other's blogs?

neways, most of these are pretty basic so feel free to add on top of them.
