Leeks and Roses? More like “Oak Leaves in the Fall”, until it loaded fully and then I really liked it. The text floating on the fall colored leaves made me want to dash outside, but we don’t have leaves falling where I am for another month or so, so I just rolled around on her site instead.



At times I felt sad at some of postings and wanted to help. I haven’t hung fascia board, but I can try…and I totally agree with your decision on what to do about the novel.



My advice on the birthdays is to not have any more, or…have them, but don’t count them. THAT last one was the pits.



Very easy to navigate site, writing that touched the emotions, and weekly and daily links that take off to some other very nice sites, but coming in off the weblog I almost missed some of the best of this site.Bulletproof & Bleeding

It is always hard what to write when one is presented with equally good and bad parts. Well I shouldn’t say equally, but the bad part I am talking about is the design. I hate it. It makes me get dizzy. Well ok, not completely, but the font that was used for the navigation and for the title were making me crazy. I couldn’t stand to look at it.



So instead of looking at the design, I focused on the writing. His writing is very good for his age and posted some things that made me think. One of his more recent posts that made me think was “What would you do if you new you only had 1 week left to live” he explained what he would do, and it was very moving.



If there were a small re-design, this site would be better as it doesn’t do the writing any justice.

If beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder — quick! — run and behold Julie Anderson’s self-titled weblog. A “chick blog” though it may be, the quality of writing, as well as the attractive site design, is immensely enjoyable; and, there is much to discover in this definitive personal blog.



Julie Anderson, a writer by both education and trade, pens witty, insightful, and highly personal posts for her site. Topics often include daily life events, personal observations, and deep musings about the most personal aspects of the authors life, all of which are rendered in an inviting style and usually accompanied by a warm and friendly tone. The writing at Julie Anderson’s weblog is uncommonly strong and the author’s lack of capitalization is a style element which rarely proves bothersome to the reader.



The layout of Julie Anderson’s weblog is simple and elegant, and illustrates a well-crafted use of tonal tabling. The site views best in MSIE 5.5 and is only slightly less attractive in NS 6.1. The only flaw in design may be in the author’s choice of font, which is quite small and may irritate some readers. Links are easily identified throughout the weblog and most links are contained to the reader’s right. The site also features a drop-down menu with links to the author’s photography, which is a pleasing side venture for readers. Also, the author’s Stats page is not to be missed, as it contains much information which will enhance the reader’s appreciation of Ms. Anderson’s weblog entries.



Julie Anderson’s weblog is a well-designed, well-written personal weblog that will appeal mainly to female readers, ages 18 and upward; however, the site is so pleasing to explore that it will assuredly attract readers of all ages, both genders, and from all walks of life. This weblog is highly recommended for those who enjoy intensely personal reads.

Kim is a gem; the site is a delight to behold, from the beautiful graphics to the easy to read design. The navigation is very straight-forward, but the best is yet to come; the content.



Her style is very personal, as her blog is written in letter format. Each entry starts “Dear Friend,” and makes you feel as if you are the friend she is writing to. Her observations are very insightful, and her writing style will make you smile. Her honesty is bold, but at the same time, very cute and loveable. She tackles some tough feelings and emotions, and makes sense of them, making her seem older than she really is. For an eighteen year old, she writes well beyond her years. I’d recommend this site for college-aged readers and above. There are some entries written as poetry, some as short letters, and others as much longer entries, attempting to go deep within her psyche and to the heart of her emotions. For one self described as “unpinkified,” she comes across as a very bold and strong embodiment of a woman, in all her pink glory. Highly recommended.

The graphics to the left caught my eye. Interesting; the drawing of the man with his brain represented and being “jacked into” electronically was just right. Below it, another drawing, designed in the way of a sign. Again, interesting. Standard blog design, group in nature. So far, so good.



I took a look at the bios page, and immediately found that this was a group blog for certain. There were more people here listed than in my department at work; quite a large and diverse group. I read through the bios, some of them more serious than others, and set about reading the blog itself.



The first entry was by a person who calls himself “The Big Bamboo,” with a picture accompanying his posts that looks suspiciously like an actor from the 70’s. Alan Arkin? Adam Arkin? Who know/who cares. What I did care about was the writing, and I was laughing out loud. The entry was filled with humorous anecdotes, lively writing, and dry humor. The bit about the lawn statues had tears in my eyes! A lawn George Michael… Mother Mary with the band shell behind her… very funny stuff!



I continued to read through the rest of the entries by the other contributors and was very impressed. They didn’t refer to inside jokes, but engaged the readers in a complimentary fashion. One of the entries even went into the background a bit about the staff, talking about their hijinx in high school. This gave the site some added dimension, a more personal touch.



Topics ranged from stealing silverware to break dancing to knocking out soccer coaches (yet another story that had me yelping out loud, laughing until my sides ached). Nothing is sacred here, yet it’s not wholly irreverent. The Big Bamboo seems to post the most, and his entries are not to be missed!



The only downsides I found were some spelling errors and an archives link that was inoperative at the time of my visit. I would have liked to have seen more of this bunch’s jacked thoughts!



If you want to have a really good time laughing your way through the observations of this hilarious bunch, go NOW to Jacked Thoughts! You’ll be glad you did!
