Structure is good – Emm is right, it helps somehow to know that information is gonna be ‘served’ up in a certain way. Also surely it must help you when sitting down to write stuff? Don’t go changin’

I like that your posts are structured. There are reviews that you read here and there and there are reviewers that you follow each and every day. It makes it far easier to become a regular reader when you have a structured post because you are used to the writer’s style of writing and you are able to easily extract the information you are looking for. That’s my opinion anyway but I am not a professional writer.

He makes a good point, doesn’t he? In fact, why just jazz-up the critique? Why not serve dessert first and amuse bouche last (they’re more or less the same now anyway). And, how about predictive billing. They weigh you on arrival and estimate the amount you will eat then charge you before you land at linen… I like your format, Krista. It has much to do with your success. My reviews are lengthy affairs – yours are punchy, get to the point and are easily digested. As regards a change of style, we’re yet to see bloggers post bread to bill video reviews of their meals, which will leave this critic for one aghast!
