Toddshot has strengths and then some more weaknesses. Unfortunately it has some kind of CSS design thing going on, so on my screen some of those side links are obscured – probably lack of standards support in IE5.5 though.



It is nice to look at though.



The blogging style of the author is mainly short and sweet, which can be a curse or a blessing. It lends things a certain casual feel and reading the weblog is some light relief. However, at times it means it lacks substance and it’s a bit easy just to skim read.



Todd does make up for this, though, with some excellent reviews, which are thoroughly written if sparse.



Toddshot: Not to be taken in large doses, or too seriously. Good if that’s your kind of thing – but not especially mine.toddshot

This guy has some major talent and hopefully knows it. The design of the site is one of the best I have seen. I really like the good use of the colors. He has a lot of computer stuff which he subtly boasts about.



In his weblog he says

This is just a personal site. Yeah, sure, it’s a good way to practice and express myself, but it’s just a personal site.

Most people don’t admit, or even know that is really what their site is. Just a way to express oneself. The ones who do know it, show it.



Its got a really good read and a very cool design. So go check it out.Matt’s Site

sometimes first impressions make a difference as was the case in this scenario. The site in review had a badly flawed design, the colors seemed out of place and the header clashed, whats more heartbreaking is that it was devoid basically of content even with the weblog, it was like a bad conversation and wanting to get out to explore greener pastures, it’s a shame because this writer had good insights and observations, but she never held onto them and rather just let them drift on bye, the reader also seems distant to the writer and never gets to know her. if the weblog is the first thing someone sees than it should stand out , unfortunetly I can’t say that about this website. which is sad because the writer seems like she has so much you’d like too hear geeKsuperstar.org

With a name like Virtual Comedy Club you’d expect this site to be full of hilarious humour and you’d be wrong.



Its even better than that.



A lot of the jokes and comments only REALLY work in America , stuff like the

sports caster gene or the Pizza Hut bit.

But even stuff I only know very little about still raised a smile and even a chuckle now and then.



The layout is good. It doesn’t try to be too fancy and pretty much leaves you to get on with reading the jokes.



Updated often and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Even the description is good



“Bad jokes, topical rants and typical observations. An evening of stand up comedy without the brick wall or $10 cover charge. It’s always open mike night here”

a quandaryis what we are presented with on brooklynkid.com. it’s strange to look at and even stranger to read. I feel that the weblog should be on the front to grab the viewers attention more, the main page is in the way and should be eliminated with the reader just going to the weblog first. this site is too MTVish for me but that’s not to detract from it. It dosn’t seem to be relevent or insightful. the photographs are what I liked best giving an outsider a glimpse of the webloggers life more than the weblog entries do plus it lets people see one persons view of NYC, the photos show a cornicopia of someone’s life in a way that you feel that you know them, unfortunetly the writing is bland and not very invigorating, rather drifting aimlessly. the photos capture what life is like in a raw and uncut state, to bad the weblog dosn’t do the same. still it deserves some credit for being bold in design and in photography and I would recomend it for a lookbrooklynkid.com
