When I first went to this site I thought it was something that was in a state of disrepair, I saw a broken image, while the other was taking a while to load and a standard black layout. The posts on the site are not thoughtless but at the same time they refer to things that the average visitor doesn’t know about – such as people or girlfriends she’s had. This makes it really hard to care or read on.



The site itself didn’t have much more than the posts and archives of past posts. A broken image here, a guestbook there, your link list and some profile and comments sites that were diaryland.com templates. Other features include big centered white text in a black iframe and a tacky header image. I gave this site a 2.0 because after you get past the substandard layout all you have is posts that I didnt really care for.Random Ramblings

Wow. Another site that just looks very slick. I had no clue what to expect with this site other than the anime characters up at the top.



The posts vary from post to post. Some are about her daily life, while others seem more to be a shout-out thing and others are straight anime posts. Shout-out thing? Yeah you know, So and so, nice layout, Oh before I forget hey So and so… Things like that.



One thing I will say is the author links an awful lot in her posts. Every name is practically linked, which at some points, I almost started clicking on all of them just to see what was going on. The downfall to this is it tells people to go away from one’s site.



The design is very well done. I couldn’t think of a better design for what the person is posting about.



Very well done site, with some minor dislikes. If you are into anime, then this is the site for you.

Twisted Thoughts

After reading through the weblog entries, I learned that this site is in it’s youth, with the author still learning HTML and other web design techniques in general. That explains some of the basic design no-no’s, such as the dark green text on the black background and the request that you install “comet cursors” when loading the page.



The weblog entries themselves were far more entertaining, giving the site something worth visiting. Rarely does a weblog actually make me laugh out loud, as this one did when I read such lines as, “my ass is expanding. not in an i’ve-been-wearing-a-butt-plug kind of way, mind you. more the someone’s-been-injecting-it-with-silicone variety.” Few weblog authors are willing to put it out there like that and make fun of themselves for the benefit of others. Thank you, enchanting_devil.



Reading further into the archives, I found more nuggets of humor, and grew to end up liking the weblog author for her spunky personality and wit. When a dismal design can be redeemed by a clever author’s weblog entries, you know you have found a site with promise. Given some time and persistance, this fledgling site will certainly be one for the bookmarks; it just needs to get ripe first.



enchanted, i’m sure

The weblog turned out to be the most normal part of the site. There wasn’t too much to set it apart from the bulk of weblogs I have read. You would have to know the author to appreciate or understand much of what was going on. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, if your intended audience is people you know.



Other portions of the site were more interesting, including the anime artwork on each page, which I assume the author created. There was a “Words” section which contained some interesting prose and poetry. The “Quotes” section was interesting as well, and the photos rounded it all out.



Overall, the site was designed well enough and the navigation made sense, but I still don’t like my cursor being changed to something other than the arrow/hand combination I am used to seeing. Again, nothing set this weblog out from the crowd, but there wasn’t much that held it back either.soul-refrain.nu

Edgy. This weblog is edgy and genuine. The author is a troubled youth in a really bad situation.



Her parents beat her. It makes for good reading.



Reading her weblog made me extremely angry. It made me want to take a baseball bat and do some damage.



Aesthetically the layout is really lean and clean and arty. Low-fi. Messy. Raw. I like it. There could be more room between the lines of text – it seems like that was an artistic decision though. So whatever. I can deal.



The gray background too closely matched the default scrollbar gray. I’m really tired of that gray.



The language isin’t very articulate, but the uninhibited nature of her entries more than make up for it. She thinks, and she is very honest about her thoughts.



This one is a keeper.



fun.
