Here is a site devoted to the life of a married woman who has two kids. The younger of the two is about to turn one.



I found this site to be very useful to me. I don’t know why, I don’t have kids and I am not married, nor am I female. But I knew that someday, I would be going through the things she is currently going through (only I would be a father, not a mother for obvious reasons).



The majority of her posts are around her family. What she is doing, what they are doing, what they are doing together, that type of thing. Every now and then there is a review of a movie or something non-family related.



The extra features of the site I really enjoyed. I read her bio which was a little short, but that is ok. Then there is the list of strangers and a description of who they are. I found this section very useful as it made the weblog make more sense.



Overall a really good read and one that isn’t too hard to follow.

I checked out this site after seeing it featured as the “Site of the Week” here on The Weblog Review. Honestly, my first thought was “What am I missing?” The site seemed to have gotten rave reviews about the graphics, yet all I could see were four blurry images across the top. I opened up a different browser (Netscape) to see if I was perhaps not getting it all in this one (IE). Alas, Netscape would not display the page at all.



So I started reading the weblog, and was not grabbed by anything interesting. It was not poorly written or necessarily bad, but there was no content that hooked me or got my attention. Then I realized that there were only four log entries, and no links to other content on the site.



I would like to hope that the page was experiencing some technical difficulties and that I was not seeing everything. One weblog entry did mention something about a server crashing.



I will check back another time to see if I am wrong about this site, and I will ammend this review if need be.xfinity.net

Mmmm. Toast and tea: even the title sounds good, like greasy breakfasts and a cosy tea on Sunday evenings.



Also Salman Rushdie looks different to how I thought. How do I know this? They have a photo of him somewhere. Already I have been informed and enlightened.



I’m pretty down with the design. The colour’s a bit sickly but it’s competent going on nice.



The title bar reads “ALL YOUR EGG ARE BELONG TO US!” so, y’know, that’s not a good thing. How long ago was that meme? I was still in diapers, I think.



The writings good. Most of all it’s short and satisfying with good links to news and other blogs. According to the FAQ this it Christopher Fan’s site but there’s a number of other contributors doing good stuff. There’s some excellent longer pieces too.



The site also shows good creative scope. There’s a prose and poetry section which alas returned an error and proved unviewable. A Toast And Tea Magazine is coming soon.



I discovered this blog half an hour ago, and already I am excited….Toast and Tea

I got sick of staring at NeoFlux on the front page day after day so I decided to write about Apathy Online.



Somehow this site reminds me of Newgrounds.com, I think it may be the colors. Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s the colors. It seems as if a lot of people use dark gray and black. As this may look good, it really does get kind of old after a while. The layout is unique, except when you click on any links in the left menu you lose the layout and it just takes you … wherever. It’s almost as if they didn’t spend very much time on it, just to get out there and be seen.



The site looks really nice when you first enter it and you read their blog but as you look into it, they’ve got a pay-per-click link on every post. It’s these kinds of things that make a site annoying and I will most likely, not come back. There’s isn’t much intelligence put forth into it, I mean sure it’s a personal site with a daily record or what you did but at least check your spelling. It’ll make things easier for all of us.



I was looking at the pictures, and I swear I think I found Waldo. Wait, thats just the webmaster. I’ll keep looking. I don’t really have any more to say, it’s a small site and there’s not much to write about. apathy online

The various authors of FAC no Babble appear to be (teenaged?) friends who share an interest in what seems to be Anime based role-playing games. It is probable that this weblog serves as a private communications forum and, as a result, the content is of no great interest to anyone other than the blog participants. There are a few posts which detail daily life events; however, these entries are no more interesting than the rest of the content. Readers unfamiliar with the participants of FAC no Babble will quickly find themselves lost among references and commentary of no particular relevance to anyone other than the authors.



FAC no Blog does provide a link to the group’s homepage; unfortunately, this reviewer has been unable to successfully retrieve that page. It is possible that the group’s homepage may shed some much-needed light on the participants and the subjects about which they post. Without additional background information it is impossible to understand the concept behind FAC no Babble, let alone gain insight into the individual authors.



FAC no Babble utilizes a modified Blogger template that views better in MSIE than NS. Weekly archive links are incomplete and the brief bios of the participants are vague.



In short, FAC no Babble offers nothing to the casual reader and is a prime example of a private weblog needlessly made public. Move along, folks; there’s nothing to see here.FAC no Babble
