This blog has a nice clean page with a lilac header powered by Typepad. The white, uncluttered background makes for easy on the eyes reading. Always a plus in my book.
In the About section we are quickly and thoroughly informed that our author is a proud liberal, hence the Dr. Laura reference. We are further directed to an entry that is supposed to explain WHY Grace is the radio talk show host’s worst nightmare. So I checked it out and came away mildly confused. It seems an odd thing to drag Dr. Laura into the picture. You have a liberal outlook on the world? Great. Tell me all about it. But what does Dr. Laura have to do with it……. really?
This blog is nigh on brand spanking new so if it tickles your fancy, you can read the whole thing and get up to speed on what’s going on in the author’s world. But fasten your seat belt because you are in for a bit of a manic ride. The writing style is certainly lucid and intelligent, though a bit frenzied. Grace tells us about weddings, birthdays, and her current activities which include being a student of Bikram Yoga and a disappointing cessation of her jogging training because of broken toes. All this is delivered in a lighthearted if at times slightly edgy style that is fairly appealing.
There is a nice photo section and the usual links to Archives and recent posts, plus a list of sites titled, “Condemned by Dr. Laura”. While I found the actual writing on this blog readable, it struck an off note to me to use someone that one so obviously disagrees with as the defining nexus of the blog. Why bother?
It will be interesting to see how this blog develops. Sometimes it takes a while for a new blog to find itself, and this one is off to a pretty good start.
