When you first arrive at ‘Twisted Soul’ you are confronted by this bizarre splash screen showing I am not quite sure what. One quick click gets you past this scary person-thing and you are on your way. Okay Noel aka “Lady Chinita” come on and show us your stuff. Here is the essence of this weblog. Noel was born on Christmas day and is living in New York. His best advice to you is: “Life Sux but we need to move on and strive for the better life next time” he writes.
First impressions are a lot of cars, beautiful babes in bikinis on the beach, and a bunch of other random pictures scattered all over the place. There is a blend of various subjects that include articles about killing whales, the Winter Olympics, ALOT of cover girls and ALOT of sports cars. Each entry includes short and not very deep comments. The words seem hastily written as if this blogger was in a hurry to get somewhere. It is obvious that he has a busy life and not that much time to sit down and write. (Too) much space is quickly filled up with lines and lines of what appears to be some kind of poetry and/or music lyrics.
There is a clever use of webcam links, where if so inclined you can also add your own webcam link by sending him an email request.
The general design is not optimal for reading the blog entries. Bright red for a background is not easy on the eyes. The banner at the top of the page is enticing and nice to look at, but it leaves little room over for the rest of the page that is sectioned into frames. Now, the scrollbar on the LEFT-hand side of the daily entries really got me confused at first, but perhaps this has to do with his Asian background. Okay, I get it.
The navigation bar smack down the middle is not that intuitive at first, but you get used to it. Actually it is an interesting way to get around. There is a reference list with lots of links, some of which unfortunately lead to nowhere land. There are his daily reads, friendly sites, dot-coms, gay, etc. If you just want to get somewhere else, then there are enough links to do that, only a click away. Yeah, you could say with perfect honesty that this weblog is pretty twisted, in more ways than one. An okay read.Twisted
