Worst Designed Websites of 2012

It amazes me sometimes when I see or visit most websites, some of which you can get lost in the confused state at which you may end up finding yourself.

Some you may be forced to call for help in order to run out of their websites. Now I ask myself, what is the purpose of having a website if you will end up confusing your website visitors?

The answer they say lies in the heart of the visitor in this case who is also the beholder. Yes am taking the old adage and transforming it. They say that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, so probably the Website Designer has an eye problem, so he might not even notice the beauty or maybe your Computer is having a nut out of place.

That said, I would like to ask you my Visitor (hopefully not Confused) to please nominate the Websites which you (truthfully) will would be crowned the Worst Designed Website 2012. Also it would be helpful if you give us a little note on why you think that the site should be in that category.

If your website is nominated, please hold on for Us, you will surely receive an Award from LifeGemz!!!!

Now lets get the hall set and relax as the music is cued....

Which websites do you think are the Worst designed Websites and why?

Don't worry the African/Indian/European/Asian/American Juju will not work here, the only Juju that is working against you is that your Blog or Website does not have a Sitemap.

Facebook Comments Apps for Website and Blogger

One of the great things that Technology has brought to us, is a way of reaching lots of audience utilising the Social Media Networks.
Facebook, Twitter, redit etc are examples of Social Media networks that freely help determinate information to a larger number of people withing the shortest possible time.

Facebook Comment as part of Facebook's efforts to help websites build their readership and followership allows the user to comment on any website that has the Facebook comment Apps installed, and instantly it is displayed on the User's Facebook wall, so that the friends and acquaintances will be able to read same comment and probably comment on same.

This is a great way to drive traffic to any site and also help maximise the earning potentials of such a website.

Facebook Comment Apps for Blogger
Though a Fan of Facebook because of its contributions to smaller websites and its International membership and span across the Globe, I am always skeptical on using Facebook Comment Apps on any website, because the comments does not reside on the data base of your site, but on Facebook Web Servers.
After several researches, I have been able to get one good Facebook Comment App that injects the comments in you your website Data Base as well as on FB Servers, though looks like duplicate contents, but its better I am able to transfer my comments in case I want to move ship, than not having something to show for it at the end of the day.

Is there a Facebook Comment Apps for Blogger.com or the Blogspot.com Platform?
Don't Panic or start shouting for Joy yet. I only discovered this on one of the Widely known Blogging platforms - The Wordpress platform.

I am yet to see such Facebook Comment Apps for the Blogger platform, hopefully, this might help someone or get someone thinking on implementing this.

Please get Us feedback if you ever stumble Upon any of such Facebook Comment Apps.

Thanks.
