This is a re-review of unfoldedorigami
Since unfoldedorigami scored a 5.0 with the last reviewer, I was surprised that Kevin Hale submitted his site for a re-review. But I suppose it's because he moved from Diaryland.
I feel a need to gush here. I love the layout. I love the grays and blues and the thick black frame and the unfolded origami (Actually it looks folded to me. It looks like a child's party hat meant to look like a jester's crown.) Everything looks professional and thoughtfully designed.
There's plenty of content; a delightful mix of thought-provoking entries and the occasional senseless, exasperated complaint. On the whole, I found the entries engaging, though the excessive dramatic melancholiness in certain entries turns me off somewhat.
Plenty of 'cool' features here, among them a search engine for readers to sift through his archived entries. unfoldedorigami has obviously been through evolutions - nothing can be this near-perfect on first try. I am suitably impressed. A tiny complain: the dates of entries are not displayed in the archives page. Other than that, a brief biography would be nice, and would pull the reader's interest in reading about his life.
All in all, unfoldedorigami is a mature site with plenty to offer. Well worth a visit.

Unfoldedorigami is a beautifully designed blog. The colors are soothing and the layout is simple but elegant. You can immediately see that the one line description on the front page, "an artist's blog," is very apt. It is both a well-written and well-designed blog, something that is sadly too lacking on the web today.
The writing itself can be divided into two types: personal and creative. The personal entries are extremely interesting, giving us glimpses into the varied artistic endeavors of the person behind the blog along with their everyday life. The creative entries, though substantially less in number, are even better. Within these entries you can find short stories, poems, and even Quicktime and Flash videos, all showcasing the artist's talent (though I am sorry to say that I was not able to view the videos; a dial-up connection just doesn't cut it).
Unfoldedorigami is hosted at diaryland.com, and while that does present some limitations, the blog integrates them well. It is streamlined, only providing us with the main journal, an archives section, and a guestbook. This minimalistic construction punctuates the grace of Unfoldedorigami, as, of course, does the name.
Unfoldedorigami is worth visiting, and I only wish there were more of it. It chronicles the life of an artist I'd like to know more about.
