Really good news/links site. Scott goes out and finds very amusing stories and then posts his take on it. My personal favorite is a post from July 16th about skin color cream. He quotes a Dr. Suess book as his little take on things. Design of the site is really good and works well for him. But the key to this site is his spin on the stories.Xkot’s Random Access Log

The first thing that strikes you on entry into milov.nl is simply how unique it is. Everything on display screams “different”, from the colours to the content to the layout.



At first it seems as if there are actually three columns on the front page. That in itself would be unusual, but on closer inspection there is a fourth as well, with graphical links to some clever dhtml experiments.



The first column contains the blog. The posts are frequent and unrestricted to any particular topic. One typically original comment simply stated that, “Using a green pen makes writing so much more fun…”



Next to the blog sits a collection of original content. Aside from links to the other sections in the site, there are, amongst other features, a search entry form, and a list of referrers, so you can see who has been visiting the site.



Finally, there are links to other sites of interest. As if you would actually want to leave this site…

I was immediately impressed with the design of the site. While pink is not my favorite color, it doesn’t seem to the author’s favorite either, as the picture of her states on the front page. The design is smooth and fluent. Being a stickler for cross-browser compatibility, I was unimpressed by the anti-Netscape statement at the top of the front page.



Reading through the weblogs, I was often left confused by obscure references and what seemed to be inside jokes. Nevertheless, I did find entertainment in some of the random quotes, links, and log entries. A nice, unique touch was that each entry informed you of the band and song the author was listening to at the time. I found myself intrigued by the author’s sarcastic wit in many of her postings. Her vast vocabulary and clever writing style managed to keep the logs from sinking into the uninteresting.



Aside from the author’s bio, the rest of the site was pretty cut and dry. The links page listed a bunch of random people who I had little interest in seeing. The guestbook didn’t seem to be working according to the statement at the top. I went back to the main weblog page and read more.

I really had mixed emotions about this site,many times the writer seems to belittle herself to the point beyond self-depreciating humor, the author’s repeted mention of “boobies” wears thin after awhile and it takes away from the remarkable insights this person has on life. as for the design it seems to bland for content that’s very off-beat and exciting , it seems to plain,almost and sparse even though there is ton’s of content, I also found myself a little put off by the coloring which seems to be something the writer hates “monotony” this site does however let you get to really know this person and lets you get a feel for why they are the way they are. I feel bad for the person though as she put themselves down and dosn’t give herself credit when credits due. no one wants to be depressed when they read a weblog, and this case is no exceptioncreamy

The blog is a group blog,the topics of conversation range from flexible keyboards to Vanilla Ice.

I’m not too sure what the purpose of the blog is, perhaps to allow each “blogger” to express their thoughts of the day (?).



The design, is simple yet pleasing to the eye, not overly complex and allows the user to browse freely without worrying how to navigate.The colors work well together and help draw attention to the blog.



However, not much content other than the odd amusing entry, not much to keep you entertained.

Overall a nice idea but more content would improve the site dramatically, although after a second look, the site begins to grow on you, and presents a good atmosphere from each of the bloggers.DaftLoser
