The Weblog Review

This site has it all. Movie reviews and a personal weblog. The weblog is more than funny. I suggest reading about the roomate war. His writing about things in his daily life are just great and amusing which I am sure he puts a spin on so we think that. Also you have movie reviews. He goes and sees a movie and writes a short review about it which is just a teaser of the full review. Very good site design and layout too. I really enjoyed reading this site.Analog Ceral

This site isn’t laid out like most news links sites. Theirs is just straight down the column, brief news bit after brief news bit. They summarize each news piece and then post a link to the full story. What I like most about this site is that I could just go there and read almost all of the important things I want to read in my newspaper and then some. They spend quiet a bit of time reading article after article from site after site. Something that I once tried to do at my site, but failed to have the patience to do so. Also they have a news letter (daily) with blurbs of the news and what not. A very good read and a very good news link site. Big props to Dave and his hard work.Next Draft

I had a lot of fun over here, once I found where all the pieces were. Nice site design, a little confusing with all the stuff going on though, or it could be I’ve had too much Christmas shopping today.



The site design is basically clean with a white background. I like the drop down box on the left with navigation to other sections of her site. Some sections are in pop up boxes and some direct to a different page.



I loved the “Christmas Letter”. Cute idea, and I have a brother you can have. There are a lot of fun things to check out on this site. Go to the “archives” at the top of the index page to find lots of links in her archived entries.



Nice calm site design, a lot of information, and some fun links contained inside her entries made this a good blog to check out for fun things to do while surfing the web.



Z o r bl o g

Initial thoughts

Before viewing I had a vague notion as to what the Weblog may include, dry wit was one of those.

As soon as I set eyes upon the Weblog the colours leapt out at me and made me want to close the window immediately however I persevered.



Weblog/Posts

The entries themselves focus around the authors life, which does begin to get a bit tedious, however some humour is thrown in every so often.

I found myself wanting to leave because I had no interest in what the author was saying what so ever.





Design

Absolutely appalling, the colours disgusted me to the highest degree; they were gaudy and unsuitable for this type of site. If you really want a blue background then why not revise the colour blue that you use and go for a paler shade.

I found it hard to read the white writing after a while, so perhaps it could be changed to a more suitable colour.



Extras

Little else to do other than read the entries, a little content wouldn’t go a miss.

Initial Thoughts

My initial thoughts before visiting was that it was going to be a typically boyish site with blues as the colour scheme (as so many male blog sites are these days), however I was greatly surprised to see such an awesomely striking layout and design.



Weblog/Posts

The posts are somewhat interesting, although the author does take his time to get to the point, and I found myself skipping to the end to see what his point was.

Posts are frequent and although long and they do tend to go off on a tangent at times, this is what makes this site worth coming back to.

One point I would like to mention is the lack of correct punctuation that made some of the sentences hard to read, (although any misunderstandings can soon be rectified by re-reading the sentence again)



Design

Fantastic is one word to describe the way the design leads your eye towards the centre of the page where the Weblog lies, and how the navigation seems to lie effortlessly at the top of the page not obstructing your view of the actual Weblog or making it look cluttered.



Extras

There is a good detailed and witty section about the author and when the site originated. This was a nice added extra.

Articles were another bonus; they too were fun to read and made me literally laugh out loud.

Other extras were; a music and movie review page, a web cam portal and a picture page.
