The first thing I thought when I viewed the site was “Woah…this is amazing.” the graphics were incredibly professional and very well presented. They fitted with his “blog” entries extremely well.



I can not emphasize how much I enjoyed

looking at this site and that was even before I’d began to read anything, this was mainly because it was visually attractive.



I particularly enjoyed looking at the content aswell as the blog entries, it make a refresing change for the content

to be good aswell as the layout and entries.



Each entry is of high quality, none of the usual typos people often make.

I enjoyed reading what he had to say,

although he spoke about some very mundane things I felt I had to read on to see him make his point.



An altogether interesting site, but don’t just take it from me, go and visit it yourself.xfinity.net

A typical blogger layout, very featureless and incredibly tacky, this immediately made me wonder what I was in for. Entries are long and every sentence includes 3 dots somewhere in it:

“I am taking tomorrow off… and I am leaving early today.”

After 1 paragraph this gets unbelievably aggravating.



The entries are not of much interest to anyone who doesn’t know the author; also they are quite had to follow without reading preceding entries.

However I doubt whether this is supposed to be a thought provoking mind blowing blog, I thinks perhaps its meant to be a way of keeping a journal with no particular purpose, if that is the case then the author has succeeded, if not then he has failed miserably.

As soon as I saw that this site was hosted at Tripod, I knew I was in for annoying pop-up banner ads. That was strike one.

The page loaded fully on Explorer 5.0 for Mac, yet all I could see was a banner ad for Fantasy Football and some links to what seemed to be the pages of the site. Clicking these links only loaded a new banner ad. That made strike two.

Moving over to my PC, I was able to see the page at last. Funny how I met and exceeded the listed “requirements” for viewing the page on my Mac, but was unable to see anything…

Anyway, I read through the blog entries, which had little to offer in the way of entertainment or appeal. The author admitted his own slackness in one post, stating that he often wonders why he bothers keeping up with this site, noting it’s broken links and it’s dire need of help. Perhaps he should have waited to submit it for review until his girlfriend did go off to school and he did have the time to rework it, as he questioned in the post. Strike three.

The best things I found about the site were the cyber manifesto that scrolled across the status bar at the bottom of my browser, and the quote at the bottom of the page about being a dislexic schizophrenic, both of which gave me a chuckle.

I can tell that the author has the potential to make this a good site, but just has not applied himself. Perhaps the makeover after his girlfriend leaves will turn his strikeout into a homer.theglorious1.tripod.com

I was really hoping, that my first review, would have me give a better rating. Unfortunetly, I can’t do that.

Fantasy Thoughts is a site that when you visit, nothing jumps out, and grabs you. His posts are very plain, and nothing real intresting. I can’t tell if he is holding back on things that have happened to him, or if he just does not have much happening.

The things that are nice about his site are the simple things. It is not ugly to look at, it is rather pleasent actually. All his links and comments worked nicely, and were fast. I do reccommend this site, if you are into printers, cause he works for HP. I wish I could give him a higher rating, because he has lots of potential.~Fantasy Thoughts~

The first thing that I noticed about Required Field was the simple design. Very clean with good sharp lines.



The site is links to different news stories. It amazes me how many different news weblogs there are and they all have different news to report. I found the links on the site could relate to things that are important to me.



I really like the “personal” entries on each of the links. Just a small hint into the author’s life. Instead of searching all of the news pages for news myself, I am just going to read this site.required field
