I liked the bus at the top of the page. I really liked the bus. Maybe that’s something I should seek counseling about, but it really made my first impression of Ty’s site a good one. The first thing I thought to myself something along the lines of: “Oh, cool! A bus!” and it made me smile.



It probably takes a while to load on a dial-up connection, and the bright red background might cause some distress with various users. But the bus graphic drew my attention away from the red background, which would have normally made me cringe. While my description of it may lack in creating a visual picture for the reader, the actual concept of it really works for the site.



The weblog was very easy to read, which I liked. Most of the entries were just daily updates on what Ty was up to and the general happenings in his life.



Typically, you’re not going to find any profound, life-changing weblog entries here, but it is a nice casual read, if that’s what you’re looking for.



If you check out this site, be sure and look through the entire site. One of the best sections is under the “Crap” link, where you can find a link that allows you to “Dress Up Ty”. Now, I’m not sure how accurate the drawing of him is, but it’s still a really neat concept.tymelgren.com

Words cannot describe My Gift Coach. I had no clue what the site was going to be about, and now that I have read almost every post, every FAQ, every bio, I don’t think I am any closer to understanding. The best way I can describe My Gift Coach is by comparing it to a Stanley Kubrick movie; namely the wilder ones.



Most of the posts read as if they are poems. Like poems, they all have a rhythm and flow to them that are noticeable in time. I was so caught up in reading these posts, that I didn’t realize how much time I had spent at this site. Just like poems, too, the posts can be difficult to understand, and even more difficult to read. But once you get yourself accustomed to how they are written, you will have an easier time understanding. A quote from the site can almost make you realize about the target audience to read this.



An across the board increase of ten points in IQ would wreck the knowledge economy.



I see that quote applying to this site. An increase of ten points in IQ is needed to fully understand this site. Unfortunately for me, I only have an increase of 5.



The design of the site is nothing complex. It is just a three-column layout with the main text in the center. It works well for this site, as there is a lot of information needed to put on one page. But once you realize where everything is, reading the site can be accomplished.



If you haven’t heard of this site before today, make this one of your regular reads. You will enjoy the humor and worth of the posts in time.

Enter the chaotic world of Katy. The Beatle is truly a crazy and hectic web site with ramblings all over the place. Katy seems to have a lesion of friends and all of them, including her, remind me of a group of misfits who don’t quite fit in; I enjoyed this aspect of the site quite a bit.



The design is simple and I had no problems whatsoever.



The writing is excellent, Katy writes like a pro and I was kept glued to the computer screen the entire way through.



Concluding, I thought The beatle was an excellent web log. Any misfit out there who feels lonely and confused, I suggest you join Katy’s gang as I’m sure they’ll find a comforting place for you.

This weblog certainly isn’t what I would expect from a high school aged person, but it was a very pleasant surprise!



Basic everyday weblog entries are the norm here, but what rounds the entries out are poems inserted frequently throughout the posts. Some of the poetry comes from Alex’s favorite poets, while there were a few excerpts of some of Alex’s very nice work. Whether it’s poetry or everyday musings, Alex has an easy to read writing style.



The site lacks an “about” page, but makes up for it and then some with plenty of tidbits of information about Alex down the righthand side of the site.



Surprisingly, I found a link to my own personal weblog on Alex’s site that I didn’t know was there until visiting “Black Ink Darkness – Written Impressions” this morning.



This site is one that’s suitable for all ages, and it’s at least worth one visit. If you like Alex’s style, then you’ll definitely be back.Black Ink Darkness – Written Impressions

Jenny is a Libra. However, she takes on the nickname “Gemini” and I couldn’t think of a better one for her. Gemini’s are notorious, it seems, for having split personalities. I was truly lost in this web log because virtually every entry is different in the feeling it portrays. What all these entries have in common is that they are all written by the same person, oddly enough.



This web log would be diagnosed with a split personality disorder if such a diagnoses was possible. Jenny is crazy and I like it. Her posts range from the very extreme and back again. This site takes you on a roller coaster ride through the many feelings and emotions that make up one mind.



I was tempted to check this as a ‘group log’ but held back.



The design for “Gemini” is okay. There are some flaws and it’s not so easy to view but is manageable.



This web log has something for everyone and is worth your time. Enjoy.Gemini
