I did not know what to expect to find at a blog, vaguely named “Marshall,” and because there is not an About Me section or even a simple blog chalk, it’s still hard to tell even upon visiting. Although a graphic contained on the left indicates that Marshall is a Blogging Brit and a post reveals that he is living in Manchester and plays football recreationally.
The blog’s tagline reads “Stuff, things and other bits and pieces,” which is what his blog seems to contain. His posts range from bizarre coincidences, social commentary to Marshall’s adventures at a Karaoke pub.
Do not expect daily descriptions of Marshall’s life since it seems that lately he only blogs new entries a couple of times a month. So far there are no new entries for the month of January, although in a late November post he cites a heavy workload and “blogger’s block” for his infrequent posting.
Marshall’s writing is very witty and refreshingly simple and honest. I found myself smirking at a few of his observations, conversations and exploits.
The left navigation area includes the standard blog requirements, a calendar, archive, XML feed, counter and links. The blog’s design in general is pretty minimal, the colors are black & white and there aren’t any graphics to liven things up either.
As of late it seems that Marshall needs to put a little more effort into his blog, writing more and maybe sprucing up the look a bit. But after doing this he could have a pretty popular blog that would surely delight readers.Marshall
