I knew exactly what I was going to get into with husband – DJ – computer geek considering I had run a similarly named blog about 4 years ago. I knew going in that this was just going to be a personal blog about the guy who was all of those things. Sure enough when I got to the site and read the about section, I was presented with all that info and more.
Before I get into the blog I want to take a minute to talk about how a simple modification of a template can really help a site. I know I have seen this template somewhere before, but the fact that he has an original header graphic and then the colors of the site match the header graphic really tie it all in. So kudos to him for doing this.
The blog. Where to start with this blog? I have to say I enjoyed reading this blog. I was hooked the moment I read the about section actually. The author (who’s name also happens to be Brent) presents a lot of info to us in a no frills, tell it like it is with out the bs sort of way. He even says “My postings are usually short and simple but put together they become a picture of my life as a husband – DJ – computer geek.” and I could not agree more.
The posts talk about all things with his life and offer a lot of different things to look at. I enjoyed reading about his job as a stuffed animal vendor but then to read about the bowling alley was also just as enjoyable, and lets not forget that awesome looking dog of his that only drinks out of the bath tub.
As I said, I knew I was hooked from the moment that I read the about section, but two posts in particular really made it clear to me that this guy was the genuine thing when it comes to bloggers – 1st his post about winning prizes by running some banner ads at the BOTTOM of his blog. 2nd his post about filing for bankruptcy. I mean if you are going to put it all out there, you might as well put it ALL out there.
After reviewing countless blogs it is rare to find a site that I truly enjoy. With blogs there is no right and wrong. There’s only fun and boring. This one actually fits into both right and fun. I would go check this out today, then on Tuesday when you are back reading blogs from work, check it out again. I know I will.
