The first thing I look for on a site is the design. Is it easy to navigate, clean or cluttered, brassy or boring.
This site is clean and spare. I liked that part.
The next thing I look for is something “about me”, so that I can get a feel for the person writing the weblog. On this site the “about me” section was my favorite part. Lots of questions with some very funny answers.
After that I go to the weblog, reading as much as I have time to read or can stand. If I make it to the archives, I feel like I’m reading a good weblog. Darryl tells you in his description that the weblog is conversations…and he has a lot of conversations. I made it to the archives, all the way back to May 2001. Some of them are missing…perhaps a Blogger error.

I am still laughing over the first thing I saw at the site. By the time most of you read this review, it will probably have moved someplace so I have taken the liberty to link it for all of you.
So I am expecting there to be a lot of complaints about this person’s life, things that annoy the webmaster, but instead, I don’t find that. What I found was a very good weblog to read. Not only is it well written, it also flows. Though one post typically has no relation to the others, it manages to do this.
I liked the design of the site. It is very easy on the eyes with the light colors. One thing that was kind of annoying was all of her links were in one big column with out organization. I didn’t realize there was an about section until I looked closer at the links. Just a little organization of the links would be helpful.
The site is very enjoyable to go and read. I only found a couple entries that I didn’t like, but that is how most sites are anyways.

DelightzNET lives up to it’s name; I was just DELIGHTED to be there! The design was fresh and inviting, conveying to me the energetic youth of the site as a first impression, one which did not let me down!
The originality and creativity of the author, Stephanie, comes out like a leaky bag trying to hold too much water. She’s clever, and is a genuine nice person. That you can discern that from her writing is an accomplishment; she delights her readers at every turn. A young woman who is finding her inner strength (and has found quite a bit of it already) and writes well about it is a delightful find, indeed. Her style is engaging and genuine, flowing with an exuberance that is being a young adult. I admire her energy, and wish she could bottle some of it; I’d surely buy some!
Be ready to be delighted; delightzNET is a worthy stop on your daily blog journeys. Good design, easy maneuverability, only lacking the “about†page (but I won’t hold that against this site). This is a site I’d recommend for anyone 18 and older.

I can’t say when I fist saw this blog that their was anything particularly striking about it, but neither can I say that I didn’t find the simple design intriguing.
The author writes with a passion and this particular passion is about music. It felt as though the writer truly cared about what he was writing, it felt like the reader was being let into part of his passion. Although not all entries are about music, but even those that aren’t seem interesting anyway.
The design is simple to put it nicely. However this doesn’t take anything away from the blog its self. All the links work to the best of my knowledge.
Apart from the blog itself the only other thing was a lot of links to other sites of the same genre.
I will definitely be back, even though I didn’t fit into the target audience I still enjoyed the blog.
ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

Upon first visiting this site I was struck by its blandness. There was an image, of a walrus or some other disgusting animal off in a corner, and just dark gray background with text in different shades of gray.
Not offset by its ugly appearance I went through the content and that’s when I became convinced that this person needed to get of crack or whatever he was smoking. This site features a “diary” of some poetry that is very bad and sound absolutely horrid. I question if this is genuine or if the guy wanted it to sound provocative by mimic actual poetry.
After that there is a poetry section of the same bad writing. After getting through those sections I came upon something different. It’s called “word art” – which is basically horribly written poetry on ugly cheaply made pictures. Another medium in which to disgust me. The last section includes a bunch or semi daily sentences which mimic bad poetry again. My general impression of the site is it is made by some one whom desperately trying to be poetic but fails horribly.
