Aesthetically, this weblog is a generic Blogger template. The content is quirky and eccentric.. and there isn’t veyr much of it. I read the entire site in 2 minutes.



The site is SO eccentric that it’s almost inaccessable to the reader. I must admit that it did strike a familiar chord in me. Unappologetic weirdness is charming.



Developmentally, this site is just a little baby blog. It should come back for a review when it’s a bit older and can toddle around and has more content posted and a more distinctive look to it.

Yawn, snooze, yadda yadda, goodnight!



So might go this weblog’s act if it was a stand-up comedian.



This is the Joe Average of bloggers, just an ordinary guy, gotta wife, a bit broke, drinks beer, likes the hotties, and has a low opinion of the evil that is “copyright”.



But in such an overcrowded market as weblogs, being merely average is inexcusable.



“this is pathetic i am so damn bored and have nothing to blog about anymore…not that any of my blogs are really worth reading” [sic etc.]



I find it difficult to get into a weblog when the person is constantly moaning that they’ve got nothing to write. You should be apologising for being uninspired, not whinging to me. I actually have to read this stuff.



Anyway the links are few, it’s mainly just stuff about his day, usually dull although I was amused by his depiction of vomiters as either “amateur” or “pro”. A few pics too that are OK.



Also, too many …’s. no use of capital letters. The design is competent but the colours are unattractive. The most pointless feature is the “screenshot” in the sidebar. (Why, why, why?)



Verdict: don’t bother.astroimage

Three days of entries on another Partridge Family design. I enjoy colors like the next guy; my own site is multi-colored. But, the Partridge Family is wearing me out.



Once again, I was denied the “about” page. This is so undervalued in the blogging community, as it is turning out to me. Tonight alone, we’re three for three in not finding a single “about” page.



Now, from what I did read, the author writes well, has some interesting experiences she shares with the world, and is a fellow Drew Carey fan. You’ve GOTTA like a Drew Carey fan. Unfortunately, I was unable to get into the archives, as it was either too difficult for this Software Engineer to figure out, or was not quite intuitive enough. This, to me, made me feel like I was missing out. I don’t want to have to keep coming back to a site over a period of time to decide if I want to come back tomorrow, or even later. I want the benefit of archives, and I want to be able to see past entries. This detracted from the experience for me, an experience I would otherwise probably be raving about.



The site holds much promise. The writing is solid, witty, engaging, and just plain fun. The account of the “tongue piercing” is funny as heck; those of us that have gone through this can not only empathize, but also see the humor in her writing about it.



Fair design, good content, but poor navigation makes this site one I would recommend for those that will take the time to invest in finding out if this blog is one for them.

My Stuff’s More Important Than Yours!

Sanity Helpline. I was wondering what I was getting myself into as I clicked on the hyperlink to this site. I had no idea, not even an inkling. As the site started coming into view (as I am on a notebook on dreaded dialup), I was noticing the unremarkable layout. Rather average I thought to myself. Then, as the words appeared, rather average fell on the floor and was replaced by phenominal.



First of all, I looked to the left for the all-important “about” link, but instead found “About Moi,” with some basics underneath. Basic but containing the requisite information. This was good. Then, below it was something I’ve not yet come across, and found it very amusing. “Current Available Topics.” Underneath this heading were four topics. Below the topics is an explanation of how the topics work, and what they’re used for, how they’re implemented, recommended, etc. VERY ingenious! That explained the first entry I read, entitled “Drilling.” Continuing through the blog, I found a writer that has a good wit, and writes engagingly, keeping the reader’s attention with funny little sayings here and there, or with his thought-provoking ideas. He goes from the trivial to the profound with equal comfort, and is able to pull both off successfully.



For me, this site is the perfect example of why one should not judge a book by it’s cover. If you go from blog to blog and only read them based on their design, you’d miss this one. There’s no flash or animation or anything truly remarkable about the design. This is your garden-variety blog design. The content, however, is top-notch 5-star white-cloth dining.



There are no links to anyone else here, and none are needed. If you come here, you’re not looking for anywhere else to go. This is a destination in the truest sense. The archives are at the bottom of the page, and are easy to find and navigate, too!



That he’s chronicling the life of his dog “Daisy” each week is a cute personal touch, as well as his other photographs (the cut finger one yucked me out, though). Destructo Man is a cartoon he draws and makes appearances here and there. While I can’t say I was a huge Destructo Man fan, I have to admit there was only one stip I’ve seen, so my opinion of him cannot be wholly trusted.



If you’re the kind of person that likes humor, good solid writing, wit, and a sincere glimpse into the life of a twenty-something young man, then this is a blog you’ll want to visit time after time. It’s very well done; content vs design is the name of the game here, and content wins hands down!



Due to the content, writing style, and the “available topics” list, I rated this site very highly. Had the design been better, this could have been a perfect blog.

Well, upon entering this site, I was presented with a news-type interface. Clean design, nice, small text. It looked clean enough to eat off of…metaphorically speaking…



The actual weblog consists of fake news stories. I really enjoyed reading this site and found myself going back for me. There’s really nothing to say other than “laugh a second” yeah, that’s right.



Design… what can I say? Bad? Hardly. Good? Hardly. Excellent? Getting warmer. Flat out astounding. The top gives you a nice toolbar, with a semi-transpaent gangster hat on the right, and the logo image at the very top. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better design, simple, fresh, clean.



There’s other sections, too, like “Music”. But I think those are only so you don’t die lauging. Seriously. But even those are funny, too!



Overall, this site gets at 6. But I cna’t go that high, so I’ll pick a 5. This site is certainly one of the best sites I’ve seen in a long time. More people should heed their advice.Thugg.org
