This has to be the best original and cleanest design I have seen for a weblog page. Right away I was sucked in to the page just by the looks of it. I started reading and the author really puts just as much time into the posts as he did the design. The scrapbook at the right side is totally unique and I really enjoyed going through some of them. Weblog Wannabe said that I must always find something good about a site. Well here is a site that I cannot find anything wrong with. This is a definate keeper site and a daily read.I am generic

Serpentinity.com is a ‘personal weblog’ described by its owner as ‘a way to sort out life, find a method to the madness’. From reading the varied subjects she covers I think she uses it for exactly that. She has a good writing style; welcoming almost. The content of the site centers mainly on her life and thoughts (which btw is the truest ideal for a personal website, in contrast to sites of mostly links). I found it a good read and one I would add to my own weekly read list.



The design is simple and clean. Well, depending on which design you select, that is. She has set up the site in such a way as to allow you to select from several layouts. It’s a nice feature and being Ruzzman I chose the urinal layout J. I think there’s a layout for most people and it seems regardless of which you choose they are all easy to navigate and use.



She’s got most the standard fare for a personal site but put a little extra work into the reading section (with book reviews & ratings). I also enjoyed reading her about page (which normally I don’t) because she told me the things I actually wanted to know. All in all a good website and worth a few moments of your time to decide if you agree.

This site is just another one of your average run of the mill weblogs. Posts about things going on in his (I hope that the button monkey is male) life and what not. Work, play all seem to be one in the same.



What I really liked about the site wasn’t so much the weblog, but the artistic stuff. The drawings and the photos are just amazing. Pure talent in that department.ButtonMonkey

As evidenced by his list of current projects, the author of the Hectical Bloggerie is a busy guy. He readily admits that his site design is not original; it has the same layout as many a blog I have seen in the past.



However, what makes this site different from the rest, and why it’s worth checking out, is the lack of other sections. Extraneous details like a guestbook or a forum are gone, leaving the author clear to simply write his blog. There are no “Today I updated the XYZ section” posts.



By now you’ve probably realised what I was thinking: this is a good thing. This is what makes the site worth reading. He has cleared his site of the details most of us skim over, and instead has taken the time to present a well thought out and interested blog about his life – his hobbies, his past, his aspirations.



The addition of an archive and maybe, just maybe, an “about the author” section would be useful, but other than that, it’s the focus on the blog that makes this site what it is. A good blog.Hectical Bloggerie

I liked this site off the bat first read “this site hates netscape as you should too” . this site has it all, actual CONTENT not just a weblog, it is funny and graceful at the same time, the journal entries however seem to be too consise and too the pt and never seem to go anywhere just contrite facts about nothing, still the design is nice, and the pictures dont’ stand out but seem to blend into the weblog, what amazes me is that so many people probably overlook the content because it isn’t located clearly and is slightly hidden , this takes away from the design because this “hidden” material could easily have links filling the top header without looking out of place, none withstanding this site is good and has definite potential to be a great one, just by ironing out a few kinkspink pantster
