Its a joy to visit a blogger website for someone with enough CSS knowledge (or help) to remove the blogger frame from the top. Instantly the design appeals to me at the “Dee411” blog, with a clean layout and complimentary tones, the page is offset by the striking drawn image of three African women.
It’s been about a week since the the last post when I read the site, but reading further I realize our main author, Dee S White, is taking part in the NaNoWriMo project, where budding authors race to write 50,000 words with emphasis on quantity, not quality. For a personal blog though, Dee411 certainly has a touch of quality. As a writer, she is a natural, and her words and sentence structure are well chosen and fluent.
That said, a major theme that runs throughout the site is Dee’s piety and the site even includes a “mission statement” about “getting the word out” about the big JC, which is all well and good if you are jumping on that particular spiritual path and want another bookmark to add to the 81,200,000 other sites vying for your dogmatic patronage. For the rest of us, you have to read between the posts, and there are some great thoughts and issues raised in here.
Dee411 reminds me of a woman I know, strong and searching. She has talent and soul and resigns all of this to a greater power and modestly makes her way. D.S.White has built the blog with love and it shows. She pours her heart into her writing and succeeds effortlessly. I read somewhere “Its not God I don’t like, it’s his fan club.”, and I only wish there were more fans like Dee. All the talent and inspiration in the world can’t make up for a theme you can’t appreciate though, so I can’t recommend this blog overall. An easy read otherwise. NULL
