With a name of Tessellar > Blog I wasn’t quiet sure what to expect. Did this guy think he was better than a blog? If so what is his blog about? The only thing I did expect was that it would be a personal blog.
The first thing I noticed was that it was hosted by blogspot. Now I am not knocking them, but for a name of “I am greater than blog” maybe your own domain name would be slightly better. To top it off the blog has a slightly modified blogspot template that I have seen many times before. Unfortunately the template does nothing for the blog.
I quickly browsed the main page of the site for any indication of what I might actually be reading. I found a small blurb about the author and a couple of his sites. He is an architect in Malaysia and likes to talk about people and the houses and what not.
Now going through the blog I quickly discovered that I was very bored with it. The information provided is written as if it is for a history book. I was quickly reminded of all the boring little detailed things I was forced to memorize in high school just to pass a class. That isn’t to say the information is not well written, it is just not written to entertain.
The blog is about different houses and families and that sort of thing all through out the world. I must give the author some points for a unique blog, because I don’t think anyone else has quite done this before. The highlights of the blog were the personal stories about where he grew up. While these still read more like a history lesson than a blog, these at least had some grasp of outside readers’ attention spans.
Overall this is not a blog I would recommend. The topic is very narrow in who it will entertain. The author tries which is of course a big part of the blog. I do not wish this review to discourage the author from continuing his work. Merely I hope that this review helps him focus his attention towards the specific group of readers that would enjoy his site.
