DJblog
My first impression of DJblog was to smile at the way DJ's email address was written out in words on the front page. The random quote box also provided me with amusement, as the quotes where irreverent but thought-provoking.
The main domain encompasses a blog, art, links, and archives, and while his blog will be the focus of this review, his art section is worth visiting (if you're over eighteen that is).
DJ's blog showcases his dark, wry, sometimes caustic sense of humor. Some entries are short, offering only links and one sentence blurbs, but his commentary and observations on daily life in other posts are well-written and entertaining. DJ has a gift for turning the mundane humorous, but it would be nice to have more depth every now and then. While everyday life can provide good material for blogs, I think it would be worthwhile to have more serious discussions about topics that interest the blogger, in DJ's case art and drawing.
His archives are probably the most fascinating aspect of this site. Old layouts have been saved for prosperity along with old entries, and from a design perspective, clicking through the evolution of this site is an interesting tour of a virtual museum of web development.
Employing a minimalist black and white color scheme highlighted by thin lines and bold fonts, the structure and layout of DJblog is simple and clean, such a breath of fresh air from the templates that have the uniform of the blogging community. It is this effective design combined with interesting if somewhat typical content that will entice most people to visit at least once or twice.
