Blog Readability

Another useful tool (Thanks Phalbe):
Blog Readability Test
What Level of Education is Required to Understand Your Blog?
Note: This tool also works on MySpace profiles, LiveJournals, Facebook, and most websites
I used to know the difference in the readability scores of the NYT, WSJ, USA Today, NY Post, etc. What is your target audience? This blog test at a high school readability level. Some friends’ blogs range from elementary, junior high through university readability. All that matters is alignment and not talking over or under your readers’ abilities.
How do your various virtual presences align with your target audiences?

    I was miffed to find my (long dormant) professional blog rated at the Junior High level, until I found that the New York Times and The New Yorker got the same rating. And the library home page (http://library.williams.edu) that I designed rates as Genius! It makes me wonder just how their algorithms work.
