I can’t believe that cherubic angel face writes like a seasoned vet. LOL
Les has so much potential. His layout is nice, he segues from serious into entries that had me rolling in the floor laughing.
While parts of this weblog are 18+, the majority of it is just good fun to read.
The strip club visit was a bit much for me at 7 AM, and I’d have loved to see his afro, and I’m sure the girl he plans to marry (who is oblivious of the fact) will fall madly in love and say “yes”…I know I would!
For a weblog started the middle of this month, Lester has done an excellent job.
As soon as he has more archives, he can drop all the links, as any reader can find enough in his weblog to stay right where they are.

You never know what you are going to be getting into when a site has a normal title of Jainie’s Journal. Will it just be a journal or will there be a little twist on it?
It turns out to have a small little twist in it. In general the entries are about Jainie’s personal life: her trials and tribulations, but there is also a lot about Buffy The Vampire Slayer in there too. At first I couldn’t help but think, why is there all this Buffy stuff in here, then I checked out the profile: under bio it reads, “Buffy addict, Spike addict.” Enough said. The quality of the writing is good, well thought out and not any errors that I could see.
Design of the site is very basic. It has two columns; one being for all the links, the other for the blog itself. One problem that I did have with the design is the links are all black normal looking text. Unless you mouse over them, they look like part of her normal entries. I was unaware of any links in the blog part until I realized this little problem.
Overall the site was pretty good. If you don’t like Buffy then you probably won’t like this site, but if you do, you will enjoy it. Other than the design issue mentioned, there isn’t anything else wrong with the site so go check it out.

Group blogs can be fun if all of the members remember to post regularly, write honestly and creatively, and do so incessantly. Fortunately for us, 1784.net does all of this in spades.
Each of the writers here are a delight to read, and I was pleased to find Stephanie from delightzNET writes here as well. She’s accompanied by Nicole, Mindy, Renee, and the sole male member of the staff, Ryan. Together, they weave a quilt of entries from different but all well-written perspectives. Group blogs work when everyone works together. They shine when there is true exuberance and energy. 1784.net has all of these.
My only draw-backs were that while each author has a link to their own blog/site, I would have liked for there to have been an “about†section for each of them, so that we get a little background about each person. Also, I didn’t see an archives link; if it’s there, it’s not very intuitive to find. Otherwise, the design is fresh, and leaves a good impression.
I recommend this group blog to anyone that’s around 16 or older, as the subject matter can move towards more mature audiences from time to time, but is a site that has great content, great writing, and feels fun.
Finally, get the archives link up and some information about the staff, and this site becomes a true gem!1784

Firstly I noticed the warm homely sensation that overcame me as soon as I saw the “leafy versionâ€, this made the Weblog feel very inviting, and this was a definite bonus as it made you wish to read what the writer had to say.
The posts although long and frequent, were highly un-amusing and left me bored. They tackle the usual mundane day-to-day life that nobody really wants to spend their free time reading unless they have to. It doesn’t seem as though the author cares about whether the reader likes what they’re writing either, which is always a down point.
The design is warm and homely, perfect for this time of year. The Weblog its self doesn’t do the design justice. The colours work well together. There were no broken links either which is a good thing.
Other than the Weblog there really isn’t that much else to do, except read a little more about the author.
I personally wouldn’t visit this site again; it lacks that special spark that makes you want to read what the author says. Although I fit the target audience, I highly doubt whether 15 year olds would find this interesting in the least.

In my short time here, this is one of the finest sites I’ve been too yet. The more I read of her writing, the more I realized that the design matches her personality perfectly.
The log is excellent. That’s the easiest way to describe it. From the “About Me” section to her description of her dating techniques, it’s packed with entertainment. Although at rare moments the posts are infrequent, the posts that are there are most of the time highly entertaining. The author is a British gal who discusses everything from her results from some web tests to her travels with her brother to look at castles.
I absolutely loved the design of this site. The logo at the top reminds me of the old “Real World show, I don’t know why, it just does. Although some reviewers may not like the fact that the Archive, About, and Email links are hidden behind mouseover code in the boxes in the logo, I personally think it’s a very unique idea. There’s links on either side of the log, other logs on the left, and different websites on the right.
Overall, this is an excellent read, and I’ll definitely be adding it to my bookmarks, and I’d suggest that you do to.
