I don’t often review adult blogs, not because I’m a prude but because most of the ones I’ve visited seem to mock each other in style and content. This blog, authored by Julia didn’t change my opinion.

The author offers very little information about herself other than she likes sex and this is her space to express herself. The template has a catchy header, colorful and does get your attention but the rest of the template is pretty basic which actually works pretty well for this particular blog.

There are not many posts because this is a fairly new blog but from what I did read I thought the author didn’t quite live up to the description she gave under her profile. Although sexual technique can be interesting, I didn’t find much interest in it and probably can assume most other readers would lose interest pretty quickly. If the author provided more actual recaps of personal events of sexual escapades that might help capture and keep the interest of her audience.

There were not many extras on this site, a few links but that was about it. The blog was pretty basic and there really wasn’t much to keep me coming back for more and that’s why I give this blog a rating of 2.5.NULL

Upon first glance, Kadomu appears to be a simple weblog with links and commentary on interesting gift ideas. As it turns out, it is exactly that. The site gives a little bit of information about each item, as well as a price and link to purchase it.

The site itself is attractive, using a fairly basic WordPress setup. Previous items may be found in any one of several categories listed in the sidebar.

Reading through the entries about the various gifts, I began to believe that English may not be the author’s first language (an assumption that is strengthened by the Indonesian name of the weblog). The descriptions of each item are usually short and occasionally difficult to understand. While the descriptions themselves may not be incredibly interesting, the gift ideas range from mildly amusing to remarkably strange.

While the author should be given credit for taking the time to locate and point out all of these gifts, there really is not much substance beyond that. The idea of this weblog is good, but the execution is just not there. NULL

Let me start off by saying that this site is amazing! Riri is the author and she has done an excellent job of catching your interest from first glance with her creative and stylish template. I loved the way she listed an index of links to different pages on her blog. Once you click on the link to her “about me”, you instantly get a bird’s eye view of who this blogger really is. She gives you four photos that pretty much lay out who she is, a programmer, a mother, a wife, and a quirky, fantastic human being.

After I got over the initial euphoria I checked out the posts on Riri’s blog. Each post, though some might seem like ordinary ramblings, offered more insight to the author. Riri has the ability to make even the ordinary seem magnificent. I checked out some of the archives and was amazed each time I clicked on a different post. Riri can be funny yet still manage to come off nothing short as inspiring.

There are a lot of extras on this blog from the links across top of the page that will take you to her photo blog where you can see her amazing photography talent, to the ‘random entry’ link that takes you to a random post on her site. She also breaks down her entries into categories along the left-hand side of the page which makes it easy to navigate your way through her thoughts. I especially liked the Riri quiz which tests you on how well you think you might know her…I must make a mental note to try my hand at this once I’ve consumed a few more of her posts.

I gave this site a rating of 5 because I honestly think it’s one of the best blogs I’ve seen around due to it’s format and content. Riri has made it to my own blogroll where I’ll be visiting her daily.

A weblog mostly, though not entirely, about graphic design, A Word in Your Ear is strikingly simplistic at first glance. The initial attention grabber is the large banner at the top of the page. The red banner features what appears to be a 3-dimensional button with the name of the weblog and a catchy tagline written just under the button.

The posts typically revolve around the visual design industry or concepts of design. The author does occasionally deviate from this pattern to discuss his personal life as well. In these much less common posts, we are able to get a deeper view of the author and enjoy a bit more of his personality.

The layout of the site uses a basic Blogger template with a few extras. In addition to the aforementioned banner, the site has extensive archives as well as links to books written by the author of the weblog. To facilitate the discussion of concepts, the author has also posted links to significant post from the past.

This page is probably of great interest to those involved in graphic design, but there is little to attract or maintain the attention of any others. However, even though the posts are geared toward a specific audience, both the style of writing and set-up of the site itself are deserving of praise.NULL

I waited for two weeks for more entries to show up on this site in hopes of having a little more substance to review. Unfortunately, that never transpired.

The site, called The Washington Wizards Report, is obviously a report on the NBA’s Washington Wizards. There are three posts on the site, and a fourth that only seems to be a test post when the site was first set up.

For a site that’s supposed to be about the Washington Wizards, only 1/3 of the site actually pertains to them. The posts cover other Washington D.C. sports teams, too – the NFL’s Redskins and MLB’s Nationals.

The design is simple. It’s black text on a white background, with some dark blue bordering the complete layout. If I had to guess, I’d say it was a template of some sort.

The posts each have a byline, which gives off the appearance that the text was copied straight from a newspaper’s website. Reading through the articles, I feel like I’m reading the sports section of my local newspaper. There’s no author information anywhere, so readers could very well be reading the weblog of a high-profile sportswriter… or just someone who’s copying and pasting from ESPN.com. Either way, the lack of archives make it easy to stop reading this site and not even think twice about it.
