Jeff’s dreams of Wichita is a pretty reasonable attempt at a website. Although the navigation is slim (to access any of the site’s other sections you have to go back to the main front page), and the layout no more than basic, the blog shows some promise.
It’s not the most entertaining read, but I’m sure that it’s enjoyed by it’s target audience: the writer’s friends. There’s no need for much else without a rethink on posting policy.
Whilst I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this site, it does have it’s good points, possibly the biggest of these, design-wise, is that the font sizes are not in pixels, so you can resize them through the browser.
An okay site, and worth visiting if you have the time and inclination. I still have no idea what the Wichita reference is though.True Dreams of Wichita

I would have to say I am not a fan of the layout, it really did dishearten me when I saw it, however
I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and judge it purely on the entries .
The entries were amusing, especially the imaginary conversations with her rats, I found that entry particularly amusing.Although some entries were particularly short but never the less a fairly interesting read.
There was a fair ammount of content, I thought the “beefcake” was a very nice idea.Geektastic

The author describes and defines his site perfectly “It’s small and simple, but yet complex in it’s own way. It isn’t too plain, but it fits good.” I would have to agree whole-heartedly with that statement.
The design is simple but welcoming the colours are used to compliment each other and the layout; it has just the right amount of colour to be subtle and not loud and gaudy.
Although the “blog” only has 2 entries and “Web Rob was only started on July 26th, it shows promise, I’m looking forward to watching the site develop in many ways.
I intend on updating this review in a few months when the site will have progressed enough for me to give a fuller and more rounded evaluation of it.

First thing I noticed when the page loaded was a kick ass picture of an atom from circa-day-parents time. Well to be honest, around the 50’s I think. I like it when people can have an original logo with their title.
So the rest of the page takes a long time to load. Why? Because every single post is on the main page. I definitely recommend investing in some archives. Good part though is it makes it real easy to read every post.
The author lets us in a little into her life. Loves James Dean and that time period. But for someone so into retro, the cam pictures don’t reflect it. Oh well. Yes I said cam pictures. She is contemplating whether or not to make the cam a live image. It would be the first weblog that I have seen do it, so I say go for it if you are comfortable enough to do so.
Design wise, the site needs some help. If you are going to have a page be 10 print pages long, do something with it. Adding archives, shortening up the length, lots can be done when it is more set. Plus, unless you read every post, you aren’t going to see the bottom of the page (unless you scroll) and see her disclaimer.
This site has a lot of potential and a lot of good things. I hope that soon, the author takes out the bad and replaces it with more good. The site would be killer then.

I didn’t know what to think when I first got to the page and I saw the title of Diary of a Lunatic. Is this guy really crazy? Or does he just claim to be crazy? Does he even think he is crazy? I don’t know any of those answers. Sorry.
What I did find was a weblog about a guy who has lived a pretty interesting life so far. He is about to go to college and I am sure there will be lots of, lets just call them fun, stories.
Speaking of stories, he has a small section for stories that he has written. Only one is there right now, but it was good for a small laugh. His photo section is cool in the fact that he used a Gameboy Camera for the entire section. Granted, the border of Nintendo and Gameboy get a little annoying, but the pictures are cool. I really like the fact that he has a caption with each of them, rather than just posting them.
This is just your average weblog. Nothing too fancy, but has some original personality to it. Every now and then I just have to read one of these day in the life of weblogs to make sure that my life is some what normal.The Clarkes Homepage
