The purpose of this blog seems clear, to give an opinion on books and/or movies,

I wasn’t exactly sure where to begin, and I wasn’t exactly sure whether or not I fitted the target

audience.



As I began to read I felt it was rather dull and didn’t interest me at all, quite alot of the entries

were confusing to me as I hadn’t seen most of the films mentioned or read most of the books.

However I do believe I am the wrong target audience for this weblog, so therefore can not

give a full and honest review.



The desgin was rather bland and I saw little or no images what so ever, the layout was simple and

navigation was easy.



Overall I didn’t enjpy this at all, but maybe thats because I’m the wrong target audience or maybe its because

I haven’t read or seen anything they talk about.

My initial impression of Enigmous was that of a well-developed, highly organized website. Though the design isn’t exactly what I would call original, I must admit that functionality and ease of navigation are much more important than having a new idea. Besides, with all of the weblogs on the internet you don’t really have a great chance of coming up with something “original” anyway.



The posts, to be brief, are quite interesting and generally well written. It’s nice to know that some people take their projects seriously, and there is NO doubt that Enigmous’ staff is very adept at doing so.



The organization is amazing. Being a NewsPro user (at least in the past) I recognized the current headlines, comments, and reviews as “built-in” organization functions of NewsPro, and cannot fully credit this aspect of the site to the authors.



Everything you want access to is right there to the right, or to the left if you’re navigating the site’s sections and ignoring the articles.



About the only bad thing I found on the site were a few bugs in their coding. Go to the “Reviews” section by clicking on a “Recent Review” link. You’ll notice that there is a link in the left navigation to go to “Main”. Well, if you click on that link you’ll notice that it brings you right back to the reviews.



Also, why have extended navigation to Fiction, Non Fiction, Movies, etc., when you don’t have navigation TO these areas on the main site?



I guess it’s just me, but it seems this site is only “half” organized. When NewsPro is left to doing it everything’s fine, but when the authors make an attempt they kind of lose touch with reality.



All in all, this weblog was enjoyable to visit, however the organization and navigation could confuse someone like myself. If you have a few moments and want to see, regardless of the few problems I mentioned, a remarkable site I would highly recommend looking at Enigmous.

Most blogs are one line comments, usually following a recent conversation, or simply exist to point the reader in the direction of another, similarly styled site. These are the “dip-in, dip-out” blogs, often more eye candy than true content, and after a while browsing these sites can leave you underwhelmed and craving something more substantial.



If that’s the case, then come to Burke and Wells. Instead of traditional blog posts, this site is made up of essays, the majority of which are entertaining, informative, and carry across a sense of character and style that is lacking from others in the genre.



Fortunately the site is structured so as to avoid information overload. A lot of sites have a section called “essays” with a long list of titles, but choosing which one will be interesting is a difficult task. Instead, Burke and Wells employ a “read more” approach to their work; the opening paragraph is listed as the blog, which serves to really draw in the reader.



The site lacks one or two design considerations; the overall impression of the essays is a little cluttered, owing in part to the amount of screen width devoted to the essays (an optimal width is about 60%, anything greater tires the eyes).



Also, it would have been nice to see an “about” section rather than simply email links to the writers, but otherwise the layout and navigation are sound.



This still appears to be a young site. It only goes back as far as July 2001, but considering the number of posts since, this is a site worthy of your attention. I only hope that the quality is maintained as the quantity slowly increases.Burke & Wells

It’s A Scandal uses the Simple blog layout therefore is full of greys and blues.

Which isnt a problem for me as I quite like it. Some templates have problems with different colours making text hard to read but the Simple one works well.

One problem I do have though is the text size but that can easily be changed using your browser.



The blog itself is pretty intresting.

Although recent posts have been a bit unorganised some of the older stuff is very personal and thought provoking.



Im sure this is just a phase. I think the author is just stressed or too busy.



Weve all been there.



A simple looking blog that makes you realise not to judge a book by its cover.

I was a little apprehensive about

reviewing this one. It has been

sitting on the “to be reviewed” list for

quite some time, and no one has

reviewed it. I had actually attempted

to do so days ago, but the page

would not load.



That must have been the reason no

one reviewed it. Today, the page

loaded, albeit slowly, and I was

pleasantly suprised to find a very

entertaining weblog. The entries

ranged from short one-liners to

lengthy stories. The longer entries

were what I liked best, comprised of

funny tales of recent event; from the

attempt to save an injured bird to

running out of gas (or petrol, as the

Australians say). The author had a

unique perspective on life, which she

was able to portray with humor, wit,

and color. I thoroughly enjoyed her

entries.



Most of the site ingredients, including

the author’s bio, interests, and links,

were presented on the same page

as the weblog. I wished to learn

more about the author, but I had to

make do with what was there.
