This was my first time viewing a Modblog journal. I have to say Modblog has many interesting features, some of which were a little confusing to master, for one used to Moveable Type and Blogspot. Anyway, regarding the layout and design, I must say this is one good-looking blog. The template is one of the nicest I’ve come across in a long time. It’s beige, easy on the eyes and the header boasts two very nice pics. I enjoyed the blog description: “More improbable than unique.” Which goes well with the blog title. The “conceived in the summer of love” remark is also a nice touch. A good blog description usually makes an instant connection with the reader, as was the case with me. Cheers on that one.
Originalism has a right-hand side bar with plenty of things to browse over, I had to take my time seeing and understanding all of them and the Modblog dynamics to get to the links. There are links to the authors profile (less information than the about page, oh well…), a channel (seemed like a tag box to me), a picture gallery, a poll and other blog links.
Since the blog is new, created in August of 2004, there aren’t many entries to discover the exact substance of the blog. But from what I’ve read so far, Jeremy, the author has a lot to say. And he says it well. Good writing abilities there and a little of the ever-so-appreciated British tongue in cheek, as well. Jeremy’s posts range from political views to personal experiences and personal philosophy and pictures which he, himself takes. It all makes for worthwhile reading. He has some interesting thoughts and I found myself smiling with some of his remarks. His pictures are lovely, I actually felt like stealing a couple; and the blog seems to go well with readers.
Even though this is a new blog, I’d like to rate it highly, for it’s full of good possibilities. This is one blog to keep in mind for the future.
