Bored Blog, a group effort under the leadership of the dubiously titled 'Igor', is difficult to pigeonhole into any one category. And maybe that's the point.
Fortunately the site's title is not a summation of the site itself, as the content will leave you far from bored. The staff come from a variety of backgrounds, and hence have a variety of viewpoints and opinions to bring to the page, adding further interest to the content.
Sometimes edgy, often uncompromising, the posts are interesting, if occasionally over-long.
The site openly dismisses its own design in the introductory passage at the top of the page, but I still feel inclined to say a word or two about it. Having a very simple layout is perfectly acceptable in the blogging community; zero graphics does not a bad site make. However, the colour scheme and general design aesthetic of Bored Blog do not help the site, as could so easily have been the case. Minimalist design is a fantastic way to go with exclusively text-based content, but only if it works. Without better colour co-ordination in particular, the site will fail to reach its greater potential.
