I didn’t know what a Wogbeast really was when I saw the title of this weblog, but I was very willing to give this site a read to find out. Now, there may be other Wogbeasts out there, but this particular weblog is written by the Disgruntled Wogbeast, or DWB. Thank you, DWB, for providing an acronym.
Readers don’t learn a lot of valid information about DWB. He lives in Wales (which is the United Kingdom, for those of you geographically stupid) and, according to his Blogger profile, he’s a 23-year-old post graduate student.
The first thing I noticed about DWB by reading through this weblog was his sarcasm, and it really sticks out when he uses it. He has a sense of humor that I found hilarious, and that’s probably because it’s much like my own – dry, witty, and sometimes has the tendency to be quite biting. This is probably why I enjoyed his writing.
The site is still young, having only rolled out, from what I can see, in mid-October 2005. Just because he’s new to the blogging world (or perhaps just this particular weblog), he doesn’t waste any time at all before tackling current issues found in the media that some people might tiptoe around. He gives readers some background information into the history of The Church of Scientology, and anyone following the tabloids can appreciate his information on where and how the religion actually began.
DWB just started a new feature with his site – Real Men (or Women) of Genius. This is nothing like the commercialized versions of Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius that show up every once in a while on TV. The first nomination went to Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Peace Prize winner from 1970. Not only does this site get a chuckle from its readers from time to time, but you learn something, too. Not a bad combination for a weblog.
The site’s hosted by Blog*Spot and uses yet another standardized Blogger two-column template. Links of all realms are listed down the right hand side of the weblog’s entries. It’s a very standard black text on white background, which makes the site easy to read and that’s always appreciated.
The Disgruntled Wogbeast is off to a good start. It does a good job of keeping the attention of readers by providing small paragraphs that are well written and straight to the point. If readers are looking to learn something new now and again, and read the posts of someone that can keep them entertained, this is a good place to start. Once this site has established itself and been online long enough to gather a good number of readers, the interaction on these posts will become another pleasurable portion of the site.
