The first page you view is a “Terms of Acceptance page.” I thought this was a useful feature to allow the reader to decide whether or not to procede, and if so they procede at their own risk.



The design and layout is awesome, I wish I had half as much talent.Content- there is plenty of downloads, each with it’s individual description, also an interesting array of written work to keep the reader…well reading.I found this site particularly informative about “Mental Hospitals.”

Not only did I find the authors work informative, I found it thought provoking and amazingly interesting, it held my attention for a long time which is an achievement since NULL

SSoft is actually a software company. Or so the notice on the front page alleges, but when you tour the site looking for the blog (it’s under “News” by the way), you begin to wonder.



The focus of the company is producing Visual Basic and Visual C++ software; they currently have one program for download. But reading the blog really turns you off ever wanting to get software from SSoft, as the writer’s constant reminders to himself to learn VC++ suggest a less than professional approach. You would think that a better way to proceed with a company would be to a: learn the language first b: build up a portfolio of products and c: be careful what you write in a blog if it’s on the same site as your business.



At least the software the company produces is free.



In terms of design, the layout and colours are bland and uninspiring, and it isn’t easy to pick out links when scanning through. The blog is occasionally interesting, but there are times when I wonder if the author is actually being ironic. For example, he believes he has thought up a new music genre: a combination of old school rap and rock. If he’s being serious, it’s pretty bad news.



All in all, not a very pretty or entertaining site, but not terrible. There’s a lot of room for improvement, but considering how much this one man is trying to do, I doubt things will improve much soon.SSoft

Obviously someone thinks this must be funny… Every page I have reviewed today has had a splash page! I really hate splash pages. There is no purpose for them unless you make a flash page and a non-flash page. This page has neither and thus does not need a splash page.



I enter the site and I see two iframes. Which is really a cool idea. Definitely liking the design of the site. But there is one flaw, no logo. Every site needs a logo. Without one, it hurts.



The weblog entries are about teen stuff. A teen venting to the world her teen stuff. Some good jokes here and there, but mostly personal stuff.



I had a hard time relating to the material at hand. That is probably because I am a male and in my twenties. Maybe if I was a female in my teens I could understand more of it. I am telling you, it is written in teen female, which is the hardest language to learn. So if you think you can relate go check it out.

I don’t know if the site is only a week old or if his archives aren’t working. Either way, I was only able to read a weeks worth of posts. Maybe it is a good thing, maybe its a bad. I will let you decide.



Of the week that I read, I wanted to read more. It was just one of those, I need more, give me more. I was disappointed when I found only a week in the archives. Its not that often that I actually want to read more than a weeks worth of archives.



If it is only in its first week, then go read it now. I find it really cool when I find a site that has just started out and I can read it from day one or week one. It is kind of like a growing experience. Even if it is two years old, it has the freshness of being new. So this will still be a cool site.

Year of Our City was well-presented

piece of work, with a cool robot

graphic to welcome you to the page.

The stimulsting visual presentation

was backed up by a detailed weblog,

full of rich content.



The author wrote his entries well,

telling amusing tales of his life at

work, his misadventures into the

ladie’s room, and other cynically

charged anecdotes. By no means

did he hold back his opinions, which

gave the weblog some flavor; just be

warned if you are offended by strong

language.



I particularily enjoyed his venting

about teenage girls pimping

themselves on the internet with their

Amazon.com wish lists, and the

“consumerism cancer” such idolatry

represents.



There were no links to other areas of

the web site, so I was left feeling a

little abandoned. Some info about

the author or some other information

would have been a good compliment

to a good weblog.



Year of Our City (not sure why it is

called that) is definitely a good read.
