WildStyle was a little disappointing for a blog with such a potentially exciting name. The bulk of the problems I encountered were with the navigation and the layout. The fixed background screwed up Netscape completely, and I was forced to open Explorer. A seemingly random drop-down list of links was unclear as to where it was going to lead me (on-site or off-site?), making me wary of choosing one. I also am always unenthused about my scrollbars being taken over by another color (aqua in this case), but that’s probably my pickiness speaking.



The weblog itself had a few interesting entries, but for the most part there was nothing that would make me want to return. Entries such as “wow! I knew my computer desk was a light brown (like hardwood kinda coloured) But I hadn’t seen my desk it weeks! It had been buried under piles of junk,” were not exactly captivating.



Many weblogs will at least give you an idea about what they are there for, or the authors will give you an idea or philosophy that holds the whole thing together. WildStyle was a little confusing in these areas, and I was unsure how to take it. Not really seeing any cohesive relations between posts, and not finding much content to pique my interests, I went on.





WildStyle

What do you think of with a domain of supportcrime.net? It’s not that. No its not that either. What it is, is the weblog of someone.



The design was completely original. Having a picture of the Pimp Master Hesh is really cool.



The weblog itself is in a very small column. I wish it were made bigger. However, the small size is good because the posts are rather small in site. Most would look like one line posts in a different design.



I didn’t like that I couldn’t find any archives. Maybe there weren’t any. But because of the “past layouts” I am led to believe there are other posts. The posts that there were, are very brief and not that informative.



I don’t really have any suggestions for the site other than widen the viewing area of the blog itself and making archives. Check it out just for the layout, as it deserves to be looked at.

Holy smokes, Batman.



Tucked far away in an innocuous corner of cyberspace, on Blogspot to be precise, home to so many dull blogs, lies a gem. It’s name is “The Super Highway That Is My Life.”



OK, so the design is low-key and fairly uninspiring, it’s not dripping with great links, but – aah! – the writing is pure quality.



It’s got it all. Passionate, intelligent, articulate and heartfelt, I just wanted to read and read and read… and couldn’t help but empathise with everything he said.



Go. There. Now. Nuff said.The Super Highway That Is My Life

When I write reviews, I have to put the weblog into a category – humour, news, teen – and this one is in Personal. In fact, it’s more personal than most.



Is this because the author, Ane Cutler, shares her deeply private thoughts and secrets with us? A journal? Witty insights into her life?



No. It’s because she (and a select group of friends, so it appears) is the only one who understands the damn thing.



The design doesn’t properly fit on the screen. There is some kind of confusing links system (needlessly duplicated twice on each page) and the blogging shows a weak command of the English language. So much of it is related to her friends and messages to them it is consistently uninteresting – like a private joke that doesn’t include you.



In her own words “shit this really sounds boring,” and I couldn’t agree more. Safe to ignore.



PS. (i could have given this a 0.5 – but bless her, she had a car crash and man trouble – you’ve got to sympathise.)d00r

Splash page, splash page, go away… At least he was creative in using a quote from Fight Club. But why?!?



Clicked to enter and I found a really good weblog. The posts were full and rich with detail that you don’t find all too often. There is a lot of information into this person’s life, if you like.



I really like how he will take one random thing and turn it into a big mess. The first post that I read is the best example of this. He talks about a computer company and how bad their website is. Ok yeah it is a bad website, but it was funny.



He has an option for an alternative layout. Wow. What a change. I didn’t like the alternative layout near as much as the current one. The white background and round button links, I have just seen it all before. The black with gray works better for the site.



So what are you waiting for? Go check out the site and be amused by what the author has to say about it.
