As a new reviewer, I’m not familiar enough with xanga’s blog templates to know if eeore’s is a standard design, but it is legible and pretty easy to navigate through. This is a very british blog: Jeremy is from the U.K. (his photos indicate a large metropolitan area) and writes with the slang and inside jokes unique to that side of ‘the big ditch’.
Jeremy writes openly and honestly of his vices and attempts to quit them, he’s apparently now giving up cigarettes after claiming to give up marijauna. He has not been blogging at xanga for too long, and there is a definate difference in his writing styles from his first posts to his last. Looks like he either quit smoking pot, or discovered spellcheck… Much of the space in his blog is taken up with ongoing discussions with his friends and readers. There seems to be a great deal of back and forth concerning feuds and other blogsites, which I found mildly interesting at first, then somewhat tedious. He has a close-knit clique, and without being part of it personally, the references and inside jokes were lost on the casual reader.
His sidepanels feature cartoons that I’m guessing he’s drawn, some quite funny. He is a self-proclaimed poet with links to his poetry, some of which is quite well thought out and expressed. The opening page appears a bit ‘busy’ or crowded, but not overly difficult to read.
Overall he seems to fill a niche with his readers, he’s quite prolific and opinionated about a lot of topics, and seems well liked by his peers. He’s listed as an artistic blog, but despite the cartoons and poetry, I considered this much more of a personal blog. It’s a peek into an Englishman’s life, not badly written, but not edge of the seat fascinating either.eeore’s missing tale
