Libran Ramblings
Being an apparently avid gamer, Libran Ramblings' owner has chosen a well-suited layout; a beautiful theme of blues. I especially liked the background with it's tiny dots of soft gentle blue sprinkled in a universe of darker blue.
To readers who cannot begin to comprehend the wonders of RPG games, Libran Ramblings appears to consist of too much, well, ramblings about the woes and joys of the Final Fantasy series and other such games. Fortunately, the blogger does divert her attention to her 'real' life, even though she seemingly only does this when she experiences extreme emotions. After an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner, the smiles and laughs are evident in her entry. When she's hurt, her anger shows through too. To sum it up, the blogger rambles when she feels like it, and when she feels like it, she pours it all out.
Nice layout, not too bad ramblings. This is a site that doesn't really stand out for the average reader, but which has a few bonuses for game and anime enthusiasts. Recommended if you like either.

It's quite possible that I just do not identify with libras or that I'm unaffected by this author's writing -- in any case, Libran Ramblings seems dull and otherwise boring to me.
The design, childish and without substance, features an anime character flying from the top of the entries. That was immediately the first thing that turned me off about this blog. And then I started reading.
Honestly, the author is not a bad writer, I would never testify this -- however, I imagine if you didn't know 'em, and I don't, you'd be numb to the 'ramblings' here.
The site in general attracts a regular crowd, I imagine the writer here would have it no other way; ads and links and 'cliques' and such.
I gave this web log a 3.0 because I didn't think it deserved anything more. I've certainly seen worse, but I've also reviewed better.
Constructively, I think the author of Libran Ramblings should go for a little more depth and I believe that over time, she and this weblog will ultimately mature.

I’m normally not a fan of blogs with anime designs because the blog usually belongs to a 13 year old full of teen angst, but the design at Libran Ramblings does have a nice effect. It’s a good visual – it sort of pulls you in and makes you want to read the blog.
Libran Ramblings is about the writer’s daily life. She’s really into Final Fantasy, so much so that her left eyelid has developed a twitch from eye strain. The blog has only been around since August, and there really aren’t that many entries to read. The writing is not bad, although a lot of it has to do with the writer’s game playing – and since I don’t know anything about game playing, I really didn’t understand what she was talking about. The writer has some interesting opinions on paganism and betrayal, but the really interesting entries were regarding her former job as a caretaker to a terminally ill man.
The blog is well-designed [it’s a template], but the blog is set up so a month’s worth of entries are on each page. This makes the page really long by the end of the month and kind of lessens the visual punch of the design. I couldn’t get much info on the writer, other than the fact that it’s a woman [I think] who likes Final Fantasy and is a Libra. A good About Me type of page would be a useful addition to Libran Ramblings.
I will probably not become a regular reader of Libran Ramblings, mostly because I really don’t know anything about gaming. But if you’re into the whole scene, Libran Ramblings may appeal to you.
