Having noticed that it’s called Barbie.nu I have to say I was expecting something pink and from the mind of a 12-year-old, but once I had opened the page I was pleasantly surprised to find there was no pink in sight and definitely no Barbie’s, that’ll teach me to be so judgemental without looking first. The title “Barbie.nu; not what you bargained for” certainly summed up how I felt after seeing the site.



The text was fairly hard to read even when I reset my browser to largest, after a while it began to hurt my eyes so much I had to take a break and go back to it later on.



However, the last “blog” update was on the 7th, however looking back I noticed the entries were usually daily, most were interesting and descriptive, I especially liked the way she described how her life had no direction “The best way to describe it would be to imagine a leaf blowing through the breeze. The breeze carries it off, taking the leaf where ever it fancies.”



The layout was simple and plain, no images to be seen, which made a change from some of the slow loading graphic packed sites, however simplistic it appeared the entries more than made up for that.



I really enjoyed reading this it made a refreshing change to find a very good writer, very good, keep up the good work.

First of all, I reviewed this site because I didn’t want someone who didn’t know anything about feminism to go in there and be like “Dude, this bitch is crazy.” And I was pleasantly surprised. A lot of feminists give off the “feminazi” impression, when asserting their beliefs. But this site was rather refreshing. The author writes well, and brings up many introspective points. The design itself is a bit dated, but doesn’t detract from the content, which is good. The site provides a lot of links to issues in the news, involving federal funding for viagra to women’s sports. She supports her assertions with these links and articles, which is really cool. Very well written, and definitley informative. It’s an interesting twist on a weblog, because it’s more about the author’s beliefs than her daily life. If you aren’t some misogynistic male, i’d definitley recommend that you visit this site.

This is the first video game weblog that I have seen and it is really good. It takes all the aspects of a good video game site (reviews of games) and combines it with a weblog appeal. The site is very easy to use and navigate as they just redesigned it for that purpose. And like most video game sites it of course has a pop up for advertising, but thankfully it is a back pop up so you really don’t know its there until you close your browser.



The writing is very good and clean. Like it needs to be for this type of site. I really enjoyed reading this site as it made want to go play some of my old games that I have just sitting here. So if you like video games and weblogs, here is the site for you.The OG Dojo

Here is an interesting site. The author, is currently looking for hosting so he has decided to drop the weblog down to one page and no images. That works for me as the page loads really fast.



To make up for it however, there are a lot of dhtml/css tricks all over the place. Also there is a ton of stuff all on one page. I really think it needs a better layout to have all of the stuff that it does to be on one page.



Also, the colors that he is using. I am not a big fan of white, black, and orange combo. I don’t know why, maybe it is because at work I am forced to look at ugly orange stuff. I just don’t like orange that much.



Good news is, the author writes really good stuff. I got caught up in it real quickly and kept reading. Hopefully he will get hosted soon and all the problems will be solved. machete2

The thing I liked mosted about this site was the layout. It’s very simple and has just a few areas. I liked the little graphic for the title of the site. The author also has a little menu on the left side that slides when ever you scroll down on his page which contains 3 little cute graphics leading you to 2 other areas of his site.



So the blog itself is nice. I liked some stuff about his posts, esp the one about going to a bachelor party for the weekend and how his buddies couldn’t party as hard as they could in college and such. “My deepest point of embarrassment came when I had to remember to leave the toilet seat ‘up’.”



Anyway, this is a nice, casual blog. One to stop by on.
