The Weblog Review

What is going to happen when I visit this site? Evil Overlady and a .co.uk site, I have no clue. And to top things off, when the page first started loading, I got a nice bright pink background staring at me for about a second.



Then the rest came in to play. What we have here is a weblog that almost reads like a dear diary type weblog. Some of the posts have interest, while others do not. But the fact that it read as this type, kept my interest. I was reading it, and almost feeling guilty like I was sneaking a peek at my little sister’s diary. But none-the-less it was still very entertaining and well written. Being that I am in the US, and she is obviously in the UK, I found the differences between the English languages amusing.



The design much improved after it loaded correctly (see bright pink above) and just had a bright pink border. The border was nice as it complemented the headings of sections in the site. I am not quiet sure about the crown jewel on the right with the word random over it, as it didn’t change. The about section helped a little bit, but almost everything you want to know about the author is in her weblog.



The site is a good read with nothing to fancy, nor nothing to boring. As I said, I almost felt guilty reading it because it reads like a Dear Diary. Maybe when you read it you won’t get caught and feel so guilty like I did.Evil Overlady

I have to admit, I didn’t know what to expect with a name of Mad Bull and picture of a bull on the main page. At least he is consistent.



The author has really good posts. I read them and it seemed like he is/was that guy you always want/ed to be. He is always having fun. Especially more recently due to the holidays, but that is ok. All of his posts are well written and are easily read. They also are a lot of fun to read. They keep you very entertained, and clue you in ever so carefully to more of the author’s life.



One thing that I didn’t notice before I started reading, but I should have, was click on the Actors link. He talks about a number of different people in his weblog and you don’t know who they are. But if you see who’s who in the actor list, you get a better understanding of his posts.



The design is nothing to go home and tell mom about, but it definitely is not that bad either. I like the fact that he does have a cartoon bull on the weblog, just to remind us that it is Mad Bull’s Blog.



Some of the links on the right side do not make sense. Some were for Jamaican sites, while others I did not have a clue about. Maybe a little bit of grouping would help.



Over all I thought the site was a fun one to visit. Even if you go and read the site for just the holiday events, you will find that it is an enjoyable site and almost be forced to read more into the site. I hope you enjoy your visit at the Mad Bull Blog.Mad Bull’s Blog

“Bad Girl” is an anonymous blog hosted on pitas.com, a location that I have personally found rather unreliable in the recent past. The color combination of the page is little to write home about (maroon and shades of yellow/orange) and it’s tiring to the eye. There is no information about the owner, no links but one, no FAQs, no “about me” section, nothing, except a guest book and a button for “say something.” This is one “Bad Girl” talking about her “daily miseries and sex experiences.” And what a miserable blog it is.

Posts are few and far between (the latest on 09/12, the one immediately prior on 08/16, and so on and so forth). BG doesn’t bother all that much… but when she does write, she’ll be most likely writing about sex.

I know enough people who would call BG’s sex musings “pure trash.” I am not very far from using just about the same expression.

But let’s not forget that the Internet, according to statistics, is nearly 70 percent sex, with the remaining 30 percent left for all other endeavors combined. I wouldn’t be surprised then if I’d learn that “Bad Girl” has a loyal and thirsty audience. Posts talking about genitalia in general or lesbian intercourse in the shower can be a sure magnet for a certain classification of Web surfers.

The writing? Ah, the writing…. Who cares about the writing when there’s “substance” of “the other” kind.

If all this sounds unforgiving, it is. There is nothing that I found attractive about this blog, but I would highly recommended it to WWW voyeurs and any of the associated tribes frequenting BloggerLand, I’m sure….

BG gets a rating of 1 with no qualms about it. Simply don’t bother — but if you’re curious (or belong to the above mentioned ‘communities’) go see for yourself.

Ahh, to be fifteen again. With a glorious naïveté and being able to blog away without any sense. Oh to be thirty and have to review it. Sadly for Ziti it has been a loooong time since I could relate to a 15 year old.

This site is the writings of Ziti and they are all over the map. A lot of complaining about her server, school and boys. Little else. Maybe if you know Ziti this is of interest, if you don’t, try www.someotherurl.com.

She says she likes to draw. Are the graphics on the website done by you? Few questions are really answered, as the site is just the blog. Perhaps it is me, but I don’t like sites with just the blog. No contact info, little design, no about me, nothing else, just blog. She has it slated in “2) Start my about web page.” but hasn’t done it yet. With all the emphasis on the blog –it better be good-. But with entries like “The person sitting next to me now is Rima. She eats babies. And likes it. Isabelle is also sitting next to me. She rapes babies, and she really likes it. Lots. The end.” it is hard to take this site seriously. So I won’t.

The only thing that saved her from a sub 2 grade is the fact that she likes Black Sabbath. Yes, Ozzy to rescue again.

Bearing in mind that Scaryduck won The Guardian’s ‘Best British Blog 2002’ award, I naturally had high expectations. The verdict: As far as humor sites go, Scaryduck is one of the best. It’s sole aim is to make you smile, grin, chuckle, and laugh out loud. It’s a focused site dedicated to making you, the reader, laugh.

Anything that’s funny is thrown in with no chronological arrangements, so we read about what happened on the bus last week before moving on to an entry about the blogger’s childhood pranks. There are links abundant embedded among entries, most of them pointless but amusing. Somehow, there’s always something hilarious happening around Scaryduck, and the writing style just amplifies the wacky-ness a hundred fold. If Scaryduck were a live comedian, he would be straight-faced, sarcastic and dressed in a suit, grinning a slightly fake grin after every joke while everyone else topples over with laughter.

The all-yellow layout matches the theme, with ducks and penguins scattered around. Since there is a navigation bar with archived blogs all listed, it is easy to get around. The ‘Moderately Evil Penguin (MEP) kidnaps Scary Duck’ touch is a nice one, with cute pictures of a bewildered-looking duck staring at the barrel of a gun and occasional entries by the MEP who ‘apparently’ has hacked into the blog.

Obvious effort has been put into this site, which accounts for the fleeting feeling that Scaryduck tries a wee bit too hard to make you laugh. Which is not a bad thing. Top notch stuff, this.
