Cocktail Onions
I often complain about not getting to know a person well enough by reading their weblog. Sometimes it is just the lack of an about me page for more background info, other times, the author just posts moronic things that they think are interesting. However with Cocktail Onions we get to know Melanie, not through an about me page, but through her weblog.
To be honest, when I first went to the site, I said, "What the hell is with the onions? I don't get it." But the more and more I read; the more and more I got it. We all know that onions have layers; so does Cocktail Onions.
So I started reading, and reading and reading, and even more reading until I wound up at December without even thinking about it. This is a very in-depth weblog, that has its frilly stuff, and then has its deep thought stuff. When you read this weblog, you are in for one hell of a good ride. But be warned, this weblog is not for everyone, because if you aren't willing to connect with the author, you won't.
The one thing I thought about not bringing up was her post about her other review from another review site. However, the person who did that review obviously did not get Cocktail Onions. A misspelled word and it all went downhill from there. We are human after all and cannot always spell correctly. Amazing.
But I do agree with one part of the other review and that is the big onion in the center of the page. She says that she has played with the transparency so it is easier to read when the text goes scrolling down the onion, but the text still gets "lost" at the very bottom of the onion. No biggie, just means I scroll a little more, but it is still a little pain.
The overall design of the site is really well done, and easy to figure out. Yes some things go from the left side to the right side between pages, but that is ok. It is still in the order you would expect it.
Overall it is a good read. It starts off (currently beginning of June) like she is almost lost in cyberspace, and she may very well be. However, you learn about her as she is finding her way through it all. If you want a weblog that will make you think, has values, and above all lets you know who the reader is then Cocktail Onions is the weblog for you.
