I loved, loved, loved the look of this site. It’s a fifties-inspired print in beautiful red and salmon tones. It’s one of the most striking blogs I’ve come across visually. On the page linked for her photos, the 50s background changes to black and gray polka dots but it’s still a cohesive site all around. Most everything is well organized, easy to understand and follow, although some of the links take a while to load even with a cable Internet connection. I’m guessing it is because of the sheer size of the blog.
Luka (not her real name) is the blog’s owner, and she’s been posting for quite some time—four years—so the archives are extensive. She posts in her “Why I’m Luka” section that she is incognito because she wants to become ‘a better blog writer.” And she has, especially when compared to her early entries featuring what she did that day or how neat it is to write in her blog. Almost all bloggers start out this way, so there’s nothing new there. Luka still reports on her daily activities but they flow better than in the beginning. I would rethink the rambling audio posts, Luka.
She isn’t afraid to voice her opinions on hot button topics such as abortion and politics. She backs up her arguments with links to other sites holding statistics and in-depth analysis. I so like it when bloggers do this. It lets you know they are informed and they want you to be as well.
Luka is an amateur photographer and there is a section where you can see her work and her comments on her work. The photo page is like a second blog, a bonus if you will. It’s also a bonus because the photo blog opens in a separate window, thus giving you twice the Luka at once. (I would like to see the link to this page be more prominent on her main page, however.) There are self-portraits, photos of trips she takes, and (why am I not surprised here?) photos of her cat. If there is a cat owner with a blog who does NOT post photos of his/her cat, please alert me to this fact. I don’t think said person exists.
