Ktraveldan Network opens on a plain dark blue background with a simple table with Kim’s name, copyright and email. This background is very plain but it fits the website perfectly. There are no bells and whistles to distract you on the sidebars other than a simple archive function. There is one objective of this blog and that is focused on the main articles.
Ktraveldan Network is about Kim Riley’s life. She opens her forray into the blogging world by describing what this blog will be about, “On this stage I will attempt to enact essays, stories, speeches, quasi-plays, jokes, profunidty, Creative Lyin’ Writin’, photo’s, serious observations, MP3’s, and general, overall stuff. ” She also reveals why many of these stories have a bookish feel to them, “I am working on the rough draft to a book, as well as turning out short stories at a manic rate.”
She has a couple different lengthy articles on various aspects of adult life, (raising children, the addictions of the Home Shopping Network, job stories.) She mixes thoughtful ideas and commentary and humor quite well. When I was reading this blog it felt like reading a book on someone’s life. Generally that would not be appealing but Kim makes her articles very interesting and they capture the reader’s interest. This is a excellent blog to read on a rainy day or when you feel a little bored.
As I mentioned previously there are no links, pictures, blog rolls on the sidebars. Yet this does not hurt Ktraveldan Network at all. I believe rather it makes Ktraveldan Network stand out and easier to read. The focus is on the articles and nothing else. The background is excellent and the page design is simple and easy. Kim obviously subscribes to the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) school of web design and it makes all the difference when reading Ktraveldan Network.
What a blog. This is a true web log and I must say this is well written. When one reads this blog you feel like each article is a chapter in a bestseller. Even if female life isn’t one of your favorite subjects Kim Riley makes it seem interesting and fun. You will enjoy your time at Ktraveldan Network, I did.Ktraveldan Network
