This is another plain looking blog, with mostly white text on a black
background. Obviously this person does not see the need to do much
in the way of presentational design work. And that’s no bad thing, in
itself, but it does lead me to wonder if the content of the blog will
be somewhat banal. The subtitle, “Ramblings of a Bemused
Anthrophile”, along with the brief introductory blurb, do not
encourage me, but do not put me off, either.
Having now read a good number of entries, on the current page and at
fairly random points in the archives, I find it’s not too bad a blog.
It’s an online diary, to some degree, but not limited to just being a
record of what happens each day. Some entries are a little amusing,
and generally, Deb, the author, has a chatty, familiar style.
However, it seems that it’s a blog that has to be read and followed
for everything to be clear. A lack of any pages summarising
information about Deb doesn’t help. A full set of archives, though,
does.
Deb writes about herself and her life, in which high school and
musicals seem to feature quite strongly. She sounds like someone with
quite an active and varied life, both in and out of school, though her
rambly style (as promised in her subtitle) does leave me a bit unclear
as to the contexts of some activities and relationships. It’s
certainly a personal blog, and with the usual mix of entries found in
such blogs.
There is nothing more to say about the site itself, as it’s just the
blog with archives. But some background information on Deb would
really not go amiss.
Overall, there is nothing particularly special about this blog, and
nothing particularly bad, either. It is just what it is: a personal
blog. Some readers will enjoy it, and some just won’t be interested.
