Month: January 1970

I kind of like Mc Sweet tea.com because it has a feel that it should be sitting on a Commodore 64 rather than either a UNIX or NT server somewhere in virtual space. Everything is pretty much there when you get to this site, a nice, neat blog that’s easy to browse through and a readable array of content link on the right hand side.

The weblog itself is good reading, in fact some of the stuff is just plain good humor, and I found myself having a pretty good read through the archive section as well. The best thing about the weblog is that the entries aren’t taxing to the brain, there short, they get to the point, and almost always light-hearted. A lot of the entries are music orientated, but you don’t have to be a music freak to enjoy them, which is good considering I don’t see myself as much of a music buff! What I did have a smile about was reading in his 10th April entry the 6 things he wants to do before he comes famous, strangely enough his number 4 comes in top of the things I just want to do!

The design is pretty straightforward, nothing exceptionally sticks out other than the odd few graphics in the weblog, which isn’t straining on the bandwidth. I do confess to liking the link section on the right, especially the ‘blob’ remarks, that’s a nice little touch. Author information and a few links are also given. Everything seemed to working fine when I was clicking around. The archives are also nicely stored away and easily assessable. I also came across is a site to the authors band which too is nicely put together and well worth reading.

Overall Mc Sweet Tea.com was an enjoyable site to come across and I recommend it for anyone not looking for anything too hardcore but just a good easy read. I give the weblog a 2.5 out of 5 and one thumb up.

If a flashy layout, an extensive site, and a well-maintained weblog is what you’re looking for in a site, then Marcos Owns Me is worth your time to check out.



While I never would have guessed it by just reading through the site, Marcos is a 16 year old high school student. His journal entries aren’t about the typical teenage sagas, and that’s well appreciated in audiences of all ages.



Reading the updates were entertaining, and well worth the time.



The site is very thorough, and all equally as interesting. He has a very extensive image gallery, some very handy downloads, several hilarious chat transcripts, and some helpful CGI scripts – just to name a few of the noteworthy things at Marcos Owns Me.



Marcos’ site is suitable for the teenage crowd and above, but there’s certainly something for nearly everyone at this site. Marcos Owns Me

I’ve always thought splash pages were supposed to be a bit flashy, or somewhat of an introduction of the contents of the site you’re about to enter, but at “daydreamy” all you get it the word “enter”. Interesting… but in a good way.



Upon entering the site, the weblog is what you’re met with. The weblog is attractively placed in just a black outlined box. The layout draws your attention to the weblog, which appears to be the purpose of this site.



I like how the author shares daily antecdotes in her writing, and does so in a way that is entertaining. While some of the entries may be long, the read very quickly, and I really felt as if I could picture exactly what was taking place.



A more extensive “about” section would have been ideal, but by reading through months of weblog entries on the site, the reader can grasp a complete idea of what the author is really like.



Definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re looking to add another weblog to your list of daily reads.

The first thing thing I saw when visiting this site was a picture of a hippo. The picture of the hippo coupled with the layout of the site immediately made this site a place I wanted to stay for a while. And I did.



Pazazygeek has a very soft color to it. While normally a light greenish-blue and pink wouldn’t mesh very well together, Elena has put together a very nice color combo for the layout.



There’s not much about the personal life of Elena, who is a self-proclaimed wanna-be rockstar. I was intrigued enough to go exploring throughout the site and was happy with my findings: a bit more about the author, and even some MP3s of Elena’s music to download.



The conspicuous consumption of links I gathered from visiting this site was definitely worth the trip.



“Conspicuous Consumption” is “a very hungry blog indeed”. And if you’re looking to fill a hunger of informative links, with witty and well-stated opinions, then this is your site to visit.Pazazygeek: Conspicuous Consumption

Before I even started to read or before I COULD even start to read this weblog, I had to close three different pop up windows. I hate pop up windows.



There’s not much to the design of the site, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It wasn’t terrible to look at, but wasn’t something that left me in complete awe.



The “about me” section, while very complete and thorough, is quite cumbersome to read through.



The weblog itself is filled with the typical teenage angst of a 17 year old boy. Posts are very infrequent as of late, but Nathan does have a good sense of humor and a nice writing style.



Fun things I noticed? Nathan wears a very cool hat in his current cam picture, and the fan signs are a neat addition.



For Nathan’s age group, this is probably a bookmark-worthy site, however, it may not be something for people of all ages.A New Maven
