Where the Hell Was I?
This is a re-review of Where the Hell Was I?
When I first entered this blog, I really didn't know what to expect, judging by the title. I did notice that this weblog was submitted for a re-review. When the page loaded, there was a little banner above the posts, saying that the blog had moved with a link to the new web address.
The old address was on "Blogspot", and the new one was the authors own domain. The one thing that kind of puzzled me was why Charlie "the author", had submitted his weblog for a re - review. One of the reasons being is, both the old and the new weblog looked the same. Same lay-out, same colors ect.
The weblog itself had a 3 column lay-out which I was never very keen on myself. In the left hand column, there were several links which were very humourous. There was an "About Me" and an "About This" links. They both made me laugh.
After I got through several of his links, which he had both on the right and left side panels, I started reading several of the archives. His archives dated back to June 2003.. Each entry was entertaining in it's own way. What may be amusing for some readers, may not be amusing for others. I went through several archives, and there were only a few entries I really laughed at.
There was one entry where he talked about a time where his door key broke off in his lock . He tried to get it out by taking the lock apart with a screw driver, but it didn't work. Then he thought of using WD-40, until he realized he didn't have any so he used olive oil instead. But all he got out of that was a slippery door knob and a dog wanting to lick it. Now that is one of the few entries I chuckled at. I just didn't find a lot of the posts amusing.
Now for the design, It is a very simple blue and white template. As I said earlier on, there are links on both sides and the entries are in the middle. To me , some of the links and the archives are not spaced enough. The entries are very well written and very easy to read. The posts are also quite long. I feel the design could use some work. If you have time to spare, drop by and pay Charlie a visit. Like I said, what some people may find humourous, others may not. I just didn't get much out of it.

Some blogs just make you laugh, just like some people do, you don’t really know why and you can’t explain it, they simply do. This is how ‘Where the hell was I’ was for me. Arriving at the site you are greeted with a slightly boxy but certainly not unpleasant design, it’s well structured and organised and everything has its place. I like that in a blog. I spot the first post, noticing it mentioned The Weblog Review, and there was this little chuckle. I’ve no idea where it came from or even why I laughed, I just did – that set the standard for the rest of the site to be honest, frequently drawing a chuckle. The ‘about this’ and ‘about me’ sections of the site give you a lot of background information on both the author and the site, they too sparkling with just a modicum of humor and wit. I venture on to those crucial first posts with the impression that this blog might actually be worth reading.
Right or wrong a URL with Blogspot in fills me with dread, but ‘Where the hell was I’ breaks away and actually produces content which is quirky, amusing with a real modicum of wit. There is no real theme here beyond humor, and humor it seems from this author exists in everything, which is very true. If you can’t see the funny side you may as well quit now, or read this blog, it’ll be educational for you. I particularly enjoy the posts that begin on one topic, and then suddenly without warning fly off at a complete tangent.
The design is familiar, yet has to be commended for its simplicity, well structured and organised, managing to not be the typical generic Blogspot template. It suits the content well, not detracting anything from it. The site is easy to navigate, and the archive system suits the often elongated postings. It’s not the best most individual template I have seen, but I really don’t think that is important here – if what you want from a site is light hearted humor then this is the place for you.
Also worthy of a mention is the links on the right hand navigation, containing some worthy reads definitely worth exploring further.
The author here has managed to create a simple, straight forward life humor type of blog. It’s a break from the norm as far as Blogspot sites are concerned and is definitely worthy of further investigation. If you can see the funny side of life, this is the blog for you. Definitely has some pulling power, a worthy 4.
