Incredible! A picture of The Incredibles! Pixar! Ah, such a brilliant team of artists there. Certainly they influenced Ms. MJ to design such a clean site (this isn’t your run-of-the-mill Blogger template, even if it is not her own design). Cool tones of sky blue and grey, along with a pulsing silver circle at the top of the page, made for a pleasant introduction to MJ’s Blagh, Blagh, Blagh. Admittedly, I actually turned up the speakers thinking I might be missing some audible accompaniment, but that was not case: the sound waves are purely for looks. There’s the usual sidebar table with a Blogger profile for both MJ & her pal Tracy (LOVED the little comment up above the “Contributors” heading—do read it for yourself!), archives, “Blagh” Roll, and the like. The archive list is quite long though, because it is done daily. As the blog ages, I would highly recommend switching to weekly or monthly archiving, if only to cut down on the clutter, which is very subtle, since the links are a pale blue against the already blue background.
Pulling up the standardized Blogger profiles on MJ & Tracy allowed me to enjoy a snapshot of their recent posts as well as acquaint myself with who these women are. Both hail from Wisconsin, but put away those misgivings you may have about the Midwest (my parents grew up in Green Bay): these gals are witty, personable, and an absolute hoot! MJ advises us that her Blagh is older than it appears because of some unfortunate misadventures in the land of blogging. Tracy, in turn, comments on the various maladies of cereal. Both are aware of the audience, offering comic relief and interesting highlights of their daily lives. Their interaction with each other through various posts further demonstrates what can only be a heartfelt, easygoing friendship by two very pleasant people.
Finally, visitors won’t want to miss “100 Things About MJ That You Were Afraid To Ask”, which camps out beneath the most recent posts. Hopefully Tracy is already working on her own list; after all, MJ & Tracy are the dynamic blogging duo. MJ’s Blagh Blagh Blagh is definitely a great site to visit if you’re looking for clean, light-hearted, rollicking fun. Go Packers!
