The layout was dark yet bizarely welcoming,the colors work wel together and the white writing allows you to read his entries easily on the dark background.



His entries are extremely funny, his writing style is simple yet an effective way of getting his stories across, this si by far the most interesting blog I have come across ina long time, I’m intrigued to see what he posts next! (I especially enjoyed the parking lot story.)



Also, aswell as an excellent blog, he has included a copious ammount of links which is added entertainment for the audience.



Overall a fantastic blog, the author has definetely won me over.stragedy.net

This is a pure blog. No “About” section, no “Pictures” section, and no half-empty “Projects” section. This does put a large amount of pressure on the blog to provide all of the entertainment for the site, which, on balance, I think it does.



First impressions count considerably in the busy world of blogs, and this site makes a very good one. Consisting of an embedded frame in the middle of the screen, the dark, mostly black colour scheme works well in setting the mood for the content. The caligraphic pattern that sits flush up next to the blog looks fantastic.



A lot of the blog revolves around the life of a teenage, which is fine because it remains on the whole well-written and eloquent.



The only thing this site lacks at the moment, and this is what is keeping it from a 4.0 rating, is the lack of blog. This site is still very young, and there are only a few posts in total.



Worth visiting again sometime in the future.protection

The title of this site threw me, and I’m still not sure why it is called by that name. I was unable to find out much information; the only link other than the guestbook did not work. It was supposed to go to the author’s “other site”.

The weblog was quite standard, with relatively inane and boring entries of a personal nature. Not sure why one would be interested in the author’s cousin’s dentist appointment, for example. A few posts were mildly entertaining, but most were random, fleeting thoughts.

The site did look sharp and was put together well with a simple, modern look. For some reason, the bright green background didn’t really bother me. The header was a clever image.

This one could be worth another look sometime, given enough time for some content to be added to the weblog entries and the link to the other page to be fixed.Umm…would you go to bed with me?

Here is a big computer geek. I can say that because, well he says it. Multiple times through out his posts. He even has a post with his name in it five times just so that hopefully a search engine will pick up on it and then if he searches for Allan, his site will show up.



The weblog entries were amusing and informative to me. I enjoyed them because I always want to learn new things. Now because of him, I must go learn all there is to know about Unix. Thanks Allan. Not like I didn’t have enough to learn already.



The design is very simple. I wish there was a vertical line between the links and the main part, but that is just a preference. Color scheme is very simple just like the design, which I enjoy.



Anyone who would call them self a small computer geek needs to check out this site. He has a lot of cool tools that you can play around with. Even if you aren’t a computer geek, go play with the site, as it is fun.

The design is smurfy; I’m a big fan of the miniature ‘about me’ box on the front page. I think it’s important to give your visitors an idea of about whom they’re reading.



The content of the blog was aimed squarely at one slice of the population: the author’s friends.

To an outsider, the blog is nothing but a summary of her day, complete with talk about people we don’t know at places we’ve never been. Some people solve this problem by including a page where they list the “cast” so to speak: a list and short description of their friends.



The writing, in and of itself, (aside from some minor spelling errors, but I’m not going to get THAT nitpicky) is solid. The summaries, while somewhat alienating to strangers, are in fact interesting enough to read through, and coherent and fluid enough to make sense.



All in all, ‘Single File Line’ is a very good effort, and quite worthy of the time I spent there.
