You know that anyone that can point out a typograhpical error in a Harry Potter novel (found in the entry called: “a muggle’s appreciation of HP”) isn’t going to be the type of person that throws a ton of incorrectly spelled words or obtrusive grammer your way — that’s always a bonus when reading any weblog.

An entry I found right smack in the middle of “The Daily Post” sets a very somber mode for a person that decides to start at the beginning and work up to the present. In a post that very seriously deals with alcoholism, one might think “The Daily Post” will be nothing but very personal, serious topics. That’s not the case at all, and you find out by reading the next topic at hand – “e-mail behaviour”. I’m sure anyone reading about the different kinds of email behavior will be able to relate to one of those. Personally, I know I was able to pinpoint several different people to each of the four varieties of behavior.

Each entry isn’t some profound statement about philosophy or current events. There are the stereotypical test results and an update on regular ol’ daily life from time to time just like other weblogs. As the number of people posting to the site increases, the variety of topics that are touched upon grow, too.

In only four months time, the number of Daily Post-ers has grown from two to six, and this is what gives the site the tagline: “A group blog with an international flavour”. You find out a bit more about those participating at the site by clicking on the “About” section, and by clicking on each author’s name, you’re subject to a new way of writing an autobiography on your website: the Alpha-Bio. That alone would be a great incentive for joining the team at The Daily Post.



The layout isn’t anything spectacular, most importantly it works for the site. The chosen colors blend well together, and the entire site is very easy to navigate. It loads quickly, it’s easy to read – not a negative thing to say about the visual appeal of the site.



The overall feel I get of this weblog is that it’s been created to form some type of a community, where people can throw out their feelings and not be attacked if they happen to be different from the next person’s ideas. Group weblogs seem to be a popular trend recently, but I think this is one that will definitely outlast the rest.

It’s got a good start thus far, and if the same writers stay with it, people will be coming back because they like reading what these folks say. They know what they want to say, and just say it. I like knowing how much potential this site has and can’t wait to see it explode into how big it can really be.

The Daily Post

The Unnamed Blog. Great name for a blog. It leaves so much room for you to go with the direction of the blog. It could be about anything or nothing at all. I had some high hopes for this site just based on the name.

The weblog however wasn’t as cool as the name of it. The author submitted the blog as a news/links type site, but it is more of a personal site. Yes a lot of the posts deal with what is going on in the world (blogging and real), but they are more along the lines of here is my opinion, rather than here is a news link. Some of the posts were very funny, and others did very little for me.

One thing I noticed when I got done reading the entire blog from current to very first post was that it was actually a group blog. I very rarely pay attention to the by lines in blogs, but the very first post said it was going to be a joint effort. So I was curious and did some searching through out the blog to find multiple authors. While there are multiple authors, there is one main author with a supporting cast so to speak. Dirvish posts the majority of the time, and the other authors post every now and then.

The design of the site is simple, and I think might be a template for the blogging software, but I could be wrong. If it is a template, it has been tweaked to fit the site. The blog is not about flashy designs, or images, and thus the design reflects that. The only problem I had with the design of the site was the archives, which again I think has to do with the tool. I enjoy reading an entire month’s worth of archives at once, and not day to day archives. I think the clicking of the mouse should be for the links in the blogs, and not archives.

Overall I had a pretty good time at The Unnamed Blog. It is not one that I will add to my daily list of reads, but it is one that I will keep tabs on every now and then. The posts can be entertaining, and it isn’t hard to catch up on pasts posts even if it is your first time visiting.

The man knows his latex! I entered Lust, Love & Latex with trepidation, expecting to see something raunchy and very adult – which is is, but the site is professionally maintained (it’s not filled with latex porn as I was fearing) and is a great jumping board for those interested in the latex fetish or simply those wanting to buy something sexy and rubber. The design of the site is effectively sexy without being over the top. It’s a very talented coder who can make a concept such as this work well online.

The site started in mid-September last year and has a wealth of information about latex and the life of the writer, a man who wears the stuff (and loves it with a passion). To be more specific, it’s about one man’s attempt to come to terms with the fetish and help his wife come to terms with the fact that her husband is a latex fetishist. Needless to say, it makes for interesting reading.

3xL – three Ls which refer to Lust, Love & Latex and not the man’s actual body size – is an extremely intriguing individual and he writes with clarity. It’s obvious that he knows what he wants to achieve. The blog doesn’t deviate much at all from it’s original purpose of discussing 3xL’s relationship with his wife and life with rubber and when it does, it’s simply to promote other latex fetishist bloggers and sources where one can procure the latest in rubber finery. There’s also a gallery you can sign up to view all manner of latex-type pictures if you’re interested.

All in all, if you like latex, or even if you think you don’t, go visit 3xL and his world of rubber. You’ll be surprised and maybe even tempted. Heck, even I was tempted to purchase a few bits and pieces for myself, he makes it sound like fun. A very impressed 4.5/5 for Lust, Love & Latex.

For someone who loves purple, it’s always a nice surprise to go to a blog and see purple everywhere. I figured from the title that this might be a group, blog, but only reading the remainder will tell. Upon reading about the author you find it’s one author. I do enjoy the very cartoony look to this blog.



As you read further you find out that the author, Katia, feels a desire to write, as most bloggers do. She admits that she has no direction in her writing, and it’s simply for herself, but some of her posts might find quite interesting. The blog itself is very personal. There’s a lot of french strewn about in the midst of the text. Early entries about neopets are cute, as her and her husband both were slightly obsessed for a moment. The entries have a tendency to be along the lines of “i did this today” kind of entries. While others are short sending you to something she found interesting or funny. While you might find yourself searching for the gold in the masses (she has a lot of posts for each month of her archives) there are the occasional wonderful stories that leave you smiling. The entries are well written, and for the most part thought out.



The design is very cute and very original. When you change to different pages, the image on the top right changes as well. They’re not overwhelming and overpowering of the blog, but actually accentuate the content. The navigation is easy to find, although when browsing through the archives it would be nice to have a “back to top” link, becaucse Katia actually writes quite a bit each month.

There’s a lot to read and view besides the general blog content. She gives you the option to change the look of the blog and I’ve always liked that feature. There are a lot of good external links with only a few broken ones (from earliest archives).

This blog has had a wonderful beginning and a middle. There’s a lot of content to read through. While some of the entries are rather mundane in it’s day to day nature, the others are worth a read. Some are nostalgic and others just wonderfully written experiences. There are quite a few spelling errors, but nothing that takes away from the reading of the blog. There’s also a portion of the blog written in french, and while I don’t understand it, it probably accentuates the content as well (if only I could understand them). This is a blog I would read again, though probably not on a daily basis.An Aussie Lass, a Frenchman & a Burmese

The Mad Dater turned out to be pretty much what I expected – a whole blog dedicated to tales of dating experiences, one night stands, and dissections of relationships. Sometimes there’s thrashing of certain kinds of men too. But it’s all in good fun – TMD is definitely entertaining.

TMD is a woman, just to set things straight. She nicknames the men she dates different varieties of Bastards: Punisher Bastard, Bob Marley Bastard, etc. She knows what and how to give what readers want, juicy parts and all. Reading TMD is a little like reading a more sophisticated tabloid, expect it’s all just about one celebrity. TMD comes across as being slightly wild, always up for some fun and afraid of settling down with one man. All the better for readers who enjoy her mad dating tales.

The design is clean and nice, but the colors and font size are a bit problematic. The words are light blue against a white background and are really small. My opinion is that bigger and darker font would make the site much more enjoyable. After all, this is a site where you want to sit back and throw your head and laugh, whilst I had to really lean forward to read at a reasonable pace. The only image on the site is of a cute version of a gothic-looking girl saying “I can’t decide which eyebrow to pierce.”, which suits the apparently fickle-minded TMD fine enough.

I would recommend TMD to all readers who like reading quirky tales about other people’s relationships. In this genre, TMD is one of the very good. For the sake of the readres, let’s hope she never settles down!
