The Weblog Review

Twisted Reality is a lot like any other weblog. It is basically a chronicle of the everyday life of Andy. I would be lying pretty hardcore if I said I liked this site. The site is just divided up into way to many sections. I don’t like a site that makes you scroll forever to read everything. If you are not viewing this site in 1028×768 it will not fit on your screen. It is also just a Blogger template with a few modifications. I don’t mind Blogger templates, but so many of them are in use. I suppose if the posts were more entertaining, or interesting it would take away from the layout. The other problem that added to my “don’t like” list, is the lack of archives. From what I can tell, his site has not been up for awhile, but his posts are so large, you must scroll forever to catch up to the present. He should also make sure all his links are working properly. I hoe the Andy understand what I am saying here, because his site has potential to become a great weblog. Twisted Reality

Brina has an idea about weblog log sites. There should only be the weblog. There is nothing else at this site to distract you. Just the weblog.



The design is even more simple: black background with purple text and a purple box outline around the body of the text. There are no fancy graphics to slow you down or to look at, no side bar of links, just the weblog. At the bottom there are two links, before and after which lead to other posts.



She writes about anything and everything that she wants to. When I started reading this site, I went backwards (like normal) and then chose to start from the begining. It only took about an hour and half to read through all 120+ posts. Most of them are pretty entertaining.



So if you are looking for a site that is just a weblog and nothing else, here you go.brina.

The design is decent, and the navigation is simple and prominent. I found my way around MBAceron.com quite easily, and the color scheme is quite soothing.



Obviously, as a Computer Science student from North Dakota State, I don’t think I’m anywhere near the target audience for this weblog focusing on legal news in the Philippines, but I do have quite an interest in legal issues, so I guess I’m as good as any non-lawyer on staff.



The writing here is very intelligent and well thought out, however, each entry tends to take on the tone of somewhat of a political speech. I mean, obviously, authors sometimes get off on an emotionally charged rant about this or that thing that is directly affecting their life, and often it’s good to read such entries, as long winded as they might be, because the issues they speak of are important most of the time. The first such entry here was like that. I didn’t quite agree with some of it, but it was good to read. Then the second one was a little less amusing. From there on out, my mind began to drift.



Once again, this might just be because I’m not a lawyer, but there’s only so long you can carry on preaching while remaining interesting. The blog would be an excellent daily read for a Philipino lawyer, or any lawyer, probably, but the general blog reader would more than likely be on their way after an entry or two.

Bleeding Ears is unique in its own. The author wants to post about his views on music and does it very well. Nothing holds him back on his posts.



Like other music weblogs, the primary focus is on indie rock and their up and coming ability. Personally I enjoy indie rock a lot, but don’t have the time to get out and listen to it. Sites like this one make it a little easier for me to do that.



The design is really basic: a blogger template. But that is ok. He is not trying to make you say, Hey look at that design. Instead he wants you to think about music and his point of view on it. Very well done. I think that any site that wants you to actually think needs to have a very basic design and a lot of effort put into the opinion.

Amplified is rated Adult not because of the presence of any typically pornographic material, but because the subjects and their treatment are particularly inappropriate for the general public.



Take for example the most recent post when I visited: pictures of cute fluffy panda teddy bears, with large penises attached. Some would call this humour, but I am not among their numbers. This kind of entrance was continued in the majority of the posts I read, with most expressing a typically immature opinion.



Aside from the occasionally offensive comment, there isn’t a great deal on offer at this poorly designed site worth investigating.Amplified
