Nice site design! Of course, I love purple myself…

Very easy to navigate site of a person who loves music, basketball, weblogs and other things.

I enjoyed the “about” and the “me” sections. Clicking on one and expecting the normal yada about “who I am” and finding something different was a pleasant surprise. Cute kid!

He also has the weblog idea down pat…”I appreciate the seemingly endless amount of topics, and ideas out there. Sure my blog, at times, reads like a journal. I feel that I can write about what ever I like. If I want to write about my world-class microwave brownies(play nice and I’ll share the secrets), then I will. Or if I want to ramble on and on about my grandmother’s bread pudding, I’ll do that to.”



Now send me the brownie recipe!

Why is it that anime sites seem to have the best designs out of any other type of site? Seriously though, does watching anime make you a good web designer?



So I start reading, and I just pray that there isn’t too much anime talk going on, as I have no clue about all the shows and what not. Thankfully there wasn’t too much other than, I got this or this character is so good, type stuff. I am glad that there wasn’t an exploration of the anime stuff.



But it gets better; as she didn’t post solely about anime, yet post things about her daily life. Oh the joys of being a teenager again. Pretty much everything that she said, I could relate to as it happened to me before.



Though teens will probably appreciate this site the most, it might strike a trip down memory lane for anyone else.

Any site which refers to pictures of scantily clad naked women as Meat is totally disagreeable and offensive. That aside, Coolio’s is actually a rather good link oriented weblog.



The author, who is believed to be a Belgian male, has assembled quite an interesting array of varied links. Many links lead to off-color humor sites and more than a few will direct readers to sites which are adult (i.e., sexually) oriented. Yet, others lead to political and news sites and stories. The overwhelming majority of the author’s links are truly different offerings which many readers will find of interest. There is a little bit of something for everyone at Coolio’s; however, Coolio’s does not offer much in the way of original content. Readers looking for personal content and observations will be disappointed by this weblog; but, those who love links to the unusual will quickly find themselves in paradise.



Coolio’s layout is strong and simple, utilizing the standard format of side menus, content area, and graphical header. Links are easily identified by underlining and all links appear to be in working order. The layout is easily navigable and reader friendly despite the use of white text on a black content area background. The addition of seminude photos, otherwise known as “Meat,” will assuredly prove enjoyable for hormone addled young males and is an overall compliment to the site’s design and layout. To note, this site does not appear to be archived, but there is a forum area which one may join.



Coolio’s is a definite target area specific weblog. If one has no interest in links to the unusual and absurd, and no desire to view various parts of unclad female anatomy, Coolio’s is a site to bypass. Otherwise, take a good long look and click away to nirvana.



Coolio’s : your daily doggy style

Yet another chick blog. Yet another well-designed table layout. Yet another bout of somewhat senseless rambling posted to the Internet for mass consumption. Yet another nice layout. The layout was mentioned already, wasn’t it?



Charming Delusions’ layout, a crisp use of tables which views equally well in MSIE 5.5 and NS 6.1, is certainly the best aspect of the site. This is not to say that all of the author’s entries are without merit. To be certain, many of the author’s entries are quite entertaining if one does not mind the style of writing, which is reminiscent of a teen’s diary but not nearly at titillating. The 21 year old author mainly discusses events in her personal and academic life, but often makes references to people who are unknown and poorly defined for the reader. A bit more background, within each entry, of the people and events being discussed would prove helpful to the average reader and would make the entries a bit less confusing.



The author’s composition is fair, but the lack of capitalization and the occasional use of double periods at the end of sentences are wearisome and detract from the content within the entries. This unusual writing style, combined with the author’s tendency to ramble and/or jump abruptly from one topic to the next, will remind reader’s of a teen blog. A “cleanup” of the author’s writing style could only enhance the quality of her entries and, as result, improve the overall appeal of the entire weblog.



Charming Delusions features links to various other weblogs as well as links to the site’s past layouts. The archive links work and there are music, photos, and biography sections within the site. The site is truly well-designed and is easily navigable.



Charming Delusions will appeal mainly to female readers, 16 – 24, as well as college students. Charming Delusions is not the most content abundant nor witty weblog to be found, but it is worth a look.

A highly literate Blog*Spot weblog, The Den of Ubiquity is a fast-paced, somewhat interesting personal blog which is respectable in both content and style.



Author Aaron Humphrey, a 30 year old Canadian techie, has much to offer in his weblog, including personal bits and pieces, as well as an amusing and analytical countdown of his 750 favorite songs. Entries vary in length and the writing here is solid. Entries are literate and well-composed, will little to no grammatical or spelling errors. Aaron’s style of writing is both friendly and inviting, making him seem very much like the guy next door.



The layout of Den of Ubiquity is composed of a standard Blogger template and this weblog views equally well in MSIE and NS 6.1. Entries are archived and all archives are accessible. Links are minimal and most are contained to the side menu area. Aaron’s other Den of Ubiquity, his personal website, is well worth a look and may prove more enjoyable than the actual weblog.



While The Den of Ubiquity is certainly a solid weblog, readers may tend to feel that something is lacking. There is a certain je ne sais quoi which simply isn’t present in The Den of Ubiquity and this reviewer is pressed for viable recommendations. Nevertheless, The Den of Ubiquity does offer quality content and writing and should hold an appeal for mature 20 and 30-somethings.
