Although this is a relatively new blog (archives go back to the end of November), Will seems accustomed to writing his thoughts out. Most of the entries here are of considerable length and detail, documenting the important happenings in Will’s life (mostly about his long-distance girlfriend)and his personal thoughts and reflections on them.

Perhaps due to his being a philosophy major, Will comes across as a sensitive and emotional young man. In his blog, he probes himself and lays out everything openly. Will’s self-analyzing entries are interesting to read, although the pace is somewhat slow and Will seems to mull over certain things repetitively. Other than text posts, Will also occassionally puts up pictures taken of his area, a nice touch.

I think that the layout complements the site perfectly. The calm and peaceful blues reflect the overall tone and mood very nicely.

Will’s journal comes off as being somewhat melodramatic. Nevertheless, it makes an interesting read.

Will’s Journal: Blankness, nothingness, everything

This girl can vent, and I mean she can really vent. For people that have followed this particular weblog all along, they’ve known this from the first official post, where someone steals money from the author’s wallet. I would not have wanted to be on her hit list that day. And with her second post listing all over her boyfriends (Edward Norton, Jude Law, Paul Rudd, etc.), I felt like this was going to be the weblog of someone I just couldn’t help but like.

The posts continue on like that. The author goes off on a tangent quite regularly, but I don’t think that’s anything unusual from anyone else. And these particular tangents also happen to be ones that I’m sure lots of people out there could go off on just as well. It’s definitely something that I liked reading about, oddly enough.



It’s a Blogspot weblog, but I was exuberantly happy to see that the author had done something more to the design than just leave it in a prefab template. The background you find when you click on the archive link is a bit… well, bizarre, for lack of a better word. The full layout, though, is one that works for the site. It doesn’t actually tie in with the title in any way, but I suppose it doesn’t really have to.

The about section is limited. It’s very bare, but I suppose that works into the Bare part of the site’s title of “Barefoot and Happy”. There are other links available – one to a poll and of course several that lead to other sites the author frequents.

This is one of those rare weblogs that have you going “Hey, me too!” over and over again while reading each entry. To me, that makes a weblog one that you’ll want to come back to over and over again. Check this one out. I’m confident at least one of her posts will grab you and shake you just like it was something you’d said yourself.

I wish I knew more about this girl. Katelyn does a wonderful job chronicling her daily events and clueing in all of these random readers on her thoughts and opinions, but you can only draw your own conclusions from this type of a weblog.



I read the entire weblog, from day one until the latest post. I feel like I know an overwhelming amount of information about Katelyn, but I feel like I’ve only gathered my own ideals on what she’s like, and could be way off. That is, I suppose, the novelty of having a weblog that can be so anonymous and mysterious.

From reading post after post, I’ve realized that Katelyn is extremely intelligent. She can write and write and write about absolutely anything. While this is great if you know Katelyn and you’re familiar with what’s going on in her life, as an outside reader, you sometimes have trouble processing all the information you’re reading. And sometimes there are posts where you wonder if the author is actually just “talking” to herself.

Once, in my junior high Language Arts class, we had to do this exercise that consisted of just writing and writing and not taking a break until a certain amount of time was up. There were several posts throughout this entire weblog that made me wonder if this wasn’t one of those exercises.

The design is very simple. There’s a calm purple background surrounding a white table, where all of the weblog content, archives, and brief “about the author/site” section goes. To put it simply, it works for the site.



She wasn’t kidding in the description of herself to the left of her weblog when she said “It is: very hard for me to relate to people. Can YOU relate to me?” Personally, I could not relate to her at all. Maybe you can?

Rambling with Isha is hosted by Blogspot, which makes the layout and
navigation kind of predictable. Nevertheless Sol has managed to make the
best out of it: colors that are easy on the eyes, an abundance of links,
even something called ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ that suggests something,
well, kind, that you can do.

Being a teacher, Sol can naturally write. She alternates between her
personal life and some funny (both funny-haha and funny-weird) news or
links that she comes across. She writes with humor and sometimes sarcasm,
making her entries a pleasant read.

All said, although Rambling with Isha has plenty of content, there are not
many entries that stand out or stick in your mind after reading. As a
journal, there are no problems with it, just that it’s not particularly
entertaining or insightful. If all Rambling with Isha is aiming at is a
decent blog about a life, then all’s well and good; but if Sol wants to get
the counter going, some drastic measures need to be taken.

Rambling with Isha

Welcome to Death’s Door. Or so the aptly titled weblog claims it is. First loading of the page, I was immediately drawn to the mini about section on who was Greg Beck. A fair amount of good information was crammed into that little paragraph which is a must read before you read the weblog.

The design of the site is a template that I really do not care for. I am still not sure what the purpose of the design serves, but oh well. Greg should find a new template or create his own design to further enhance his site.

The weblog itself is not for the weak of heart. Greg swears an awful lot, but it makes it that much easier to connect with him. His range of topics varies, but it is typically something that is currently going on in the media.

I liked the weblog because I was able to read it for what it is supposed to be: Funny. About 80% of the posts I was laughing extremely hard. I can just imagine a person actually saying some of the stuff at a bar after a few drinks. This is a site I would visit when I wanted a quick laugh.

Over all we have a funny site with a lot of bad language. If you are offended by a foul mouth, then do not visit this site. If you are looking for a good laugh in a George Carlin sort of way, then here is the site for you. Actually I saw George Carlin in person, and I found most of this site to be more entertaining than the comedian.
