Any opinions on the work in my blog (link below) would be great feedback for me to progress with my work.

Im not entirely clear what sort of feedback you want. The accent pie segments are not entirely clear as to what they are showing. pie charts work best when showing proportions, or the quantity of one set of data results co-parent against others. You have moon segments and its difficult to see at a glance how these relate to the similarity in the Liverpudlian accent.

I like the radar graphic. it looks cool.

I can deduce that the St Helens and Warrington accents are slightly closer to the Liverpool accent than is the Wigan accent, although I'm not sure what the pie sectors (they are sectors) represent: for example the Warrington accent sector is around 60% of the Liverpool one but I have no idea what this represents. What would 0% sound like? What would 25% sound like?
Also Warrington and Wigan are towns not cites or cities.
I think the idea of representing accents in some sort of diagram is a good idea and I'd be intereste dto see all your results

the colours are dull and on my computer the images are very small. The plane radar image is cool but, to me, meaningless.
Sorry

excellent visual presentation.
very attractive

You have to explain what goin out on a radius means - it may be distance of the accent from london or it may not

and what the angles mean (north west south ) are they directions or the nearness of the accent ? or both

I would interpret - the Devon and Darzet accent are near to each other because they sound a like not because they are counties next to each other....

in your lib - visual presentation of data by Edward Tufte is worth a look

dont be put down sophie
I thought the pie-chart radar idea for accents was rather clever
