BobtheCorgi
The title of this weblog gave me the impression that this weblog would be humorous but instead I found a weblog mostly about food and the day to day happenings at work.
When I started to read the beginning posts I thought maybe this weblog was more of a news type weblog but as I read more and more I found the writer talking about food, especially coffee. Now and then there was a post about something that was happening in their life. The only thing I know about the writer is they have a teenage daughter. I am not sure what country they come from or what they like- other than food. I think knowing so little about the author made me feel like this weblog was a bore. I would like to hear about the author's personal life and more about how she feels about different things instead of hearing about food for most posts. I also found I felt lost about what the author was talking about at times because I do not have similar interests, or have never heard of the famous people she was talking about. I guess I am not a food lover so this weblog isn't really for me. The grammar and spelling in this weblog was really good!
The design is a basic blogger template, very neat and tidy.
I recommend this weblog to people who really love food, coffee and enjoy reading about people’s work and aren't interested in what the author's life is really like.

Just like the puppy dog in the name, this site is very charming.
The author posts fully-fleshed out, complete ideas chock full of gems like this one describing a Michael Jackson video:
"A crowd of dopey white people stood around, slack-jawed and amazed, as if they had never seen that Fred Astaire movie from 50 years ago."
..and this one describing post-apocalyptic equiptment:
"I am not physically fit so hand to hand combat is out for me, and I guess I wouldn't be too good against a scimitar in a knife fight. So I want a gun. And not one of those little ladies' guns, either. I need one of those big boo-ya ones."
Design-wise, the site seems to be a generic template... it looks exactly like http://www.cloudwrangler.com/ Either that or someone borrowed someone's design. Anyhow, that's kindof lame. The design does, however, serve the delightful content up nicely without being gaudy.
The author's age and musical tastes are distinctive and add a uniqueness and personality to this weblog. The occasional photograph are interesting and really spice up the posts.
The entries alternate between "cohesive, significant subjects", and "these are the things that I did today". The author's writing style presents even the mundane as compelling.
This weblog is mature, thoughtful, and thorough. Quality, all around.
