The first thing you will notice is the layout. The pink, black, orange, yellow, and red work wonders together. Multiple effects are added to the image to make it more interesting, along with text. The layout I would give a 4.5.
The content, however, is just like reading one long instant message. The posts are short and basically about nothing. It just seems like they are talking to eachother. Not much information about what’s going on is given to the reader. 1.0
There isn’t much different when it comes to this blog. No theme, just the fact that it’s a group log. Which makes it stay at 2.0.

The site is very beautifully done! For the layout, the colors all match perfectly well and are interesting. Not your typical black and white as an example, but, blue, orange, and green. The content sections are above you while links, music, archives, etc. are to the left of the weblog. The sections are also welll organised.
The actual log is random, but well written and gives the reader plenty of information about what the writer is saying. If not, links are provided.
The log is different in a sense that it is a portfolio (which is currently down), a résumé, information, pictures, AND a weblog. This all totals up to around 4.5. A wonderful weblog.unapologetic

This site’s okay. Simple layout — just a few words about the author, Joey, some links to other weblogs he likes and a comment form for readers to fill out. The site’s pretty straight forward. I think he’s in the process of adding more things to his site since most of his posts were focused on trying to figure out his site’s design. Some posts have some interesting links though like the one about the McDonald’s burger which contained something that’s not part of the meal. But I think over time and in the next month or so his site will definitely be one that has some cool stuff to read.Tashrin

This website is like a messy collision between Victor Meldrew, the guy from As Good As It Gets and a weblog. And, like all the best accidents, you just can’t tear your eyes away.
Why People Suck isn’t, as I anticipated, another average blog with a name chosen to try and make it sound edgy. In fact, it’s a collection of “misanthropic” rants on why people – and things – suck.
In it’s short 5 day history, Rivka has already penned vitriolic entries on people with cellphones in cinemas, “pro-lifers” issuing death threats, Network Solutions and a savage epic on her noisy neighbours.
The design is competent, with the evil face and red and black colour scheme. However, it does commit the sin of light text on a dark background, though it does fit the theme.
So early signs are good, but they are very early. I’m not sure quite why you would keep coming back other than the excellent writing quality, and if you have a blog you can keep posting “I so agree with this” links.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. For pure scorn – 4 points!Why People Suck

I liked the layout when the site came up. It has this gold-brownish look to it and the picture at the top of the site is a picture deserted road and a yield sign with a camel on it.
Meredith’s post are okay. The kept me interested for the most part, but nothing to really rave about. She basically talks about your everyday stuff, like going to the grocery store and spending way too much for food, or previous trip she’s taken somewhere, music and other things.
One thing I liked was she has a “Friday Five” where on Fridays she’ll posts 5 questions, or more from one of those email type surveys you’d get that asks you to answer some questions such as, “What’s your favorite tv show” or, “If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?” It gives you a little more sight about who she is.
I was a bit bummed out about some of the links around her site. Her link that talks about her site and possible more information about who the author is didn’t work. But one thing that was cute was “Mer’s Mirror” which displays a different picture every time you come to her site. There are also links to TV show’s she’s watching, upcoming concerts, current tunes she’s grooving to and of course other blogs.
Overall, this is an okay site.that crazy Casbah jive
