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.

This is a pretty good site. Took me a second or two to see that the image at the top was an x-ray. Liked the layout; nice and simple. I clicked on the area where Tim has some other blogs linked and I saw he posted descriptions of the blogs with some additional information. I’d never seen anyone do this on a personal site and thought it was creative for him to do; it’s like a mini Weblog Review section.



Now the blog …Tim’s posts were fairly short with ideas, links to other sites or just funny observations:



Party Packed: 270 miles, a birthday party, 3 weddings, and a street dance. What a hell of a saturday. Today, I recover.



Good Deal? I just bought gas for $1.38.



The most important question of my life: What makes a better happy hour. Free tacos with ok drink prices or $.25 tacos with great drink prices?



I went to look at the archives and was given a list of posts to click on to read his bleeps. At first I didn’t like it, but then later I liked it because I got to scroll through the titles of his posts.



For the most part, I liked his site because of his creativity. It’s great to find a site where the person goes the extra mile to put out something a bit more original.Salted Wound

“through myself” is a decent weblog doing all the right things a weblog should. The design of the site was nice, though a little narrow spacially. I had some trouble deciphering the links in the image map at the top of the page, but that was perhaps a result of my monitor.



The weblog entries were generally thoughtful and well written. Nothing really hooked me, but I was able to at least “get an inkling of what life is like” through the author’s eyes, as the statement under “Shiznit” suggests is one of her goals.



I was a little unsure of the difference between her weblog and her “lately” page, which seemed to contain more interesting comments. Also, I was misled by what appeared to be graphical buttons in the image at the top of each page.



The author is obviously experienced enough in weblog writing and site design to know what makes a weblog bad, and she avoids it well. I was happy to see her commenting on the fact that she has grown out of her stage of “KooL” spelling.



It’s worth a look.through myself
