This blog makes a great first impression. Jay-B from Texas has photos of himself at the top and the tagline “The only ridiculously opinionated college student you’ll ever need.” Made me laugh.
Jay-B’s blog is only about 6 months old. He started with posts about songs he was listening to and liking. (He is, after all, in college. New music is part of the daily routine in college.) He moved on to other topics about the college highjinx of himself and his friends, for example how his roommate butchered his own hair with clippers (complete with photos) or the saga of his friend Tommy buying cereal with coupons. Again, made me laugh.
The design of the site is mostly clean and well thought out(something I like a lot), but I groaned to see those Google ads at the very TOP of the page. Argh! Move these annoying things, Jay-B, please. His sidebar is well organized, and I liked his search tool that he calls “Snoop In An Organized Manner.” He also lists other blogs he has which include “Jay-B Gets Someone Coffee,” detailing his life as an intern.
Jay-B submitted his site as “humor,” but it is most definitely a personal blog and pretty standard college guy fare.Jay-B Says
