Upon first glimpse at this site I found it evident that it wasn’t so much a creative writing blog as it was musings on life and what’s going on in the world (Intelligent Design Creationism, Star Wars, quantum mechanics, et cetera are some topics discussed) with a slight creative edge.
This blog seems to be more commentary on different things and multi-part posts than anything else. There’s nothing wrong with this; in fact, I find it a nice change from the mundane. Moreover they’re interesting. Even though I don’t particularly care what they teach in schools or whether one movie is similar to another, it’s still compelling to read these “to be continued” style postings.
The design is simple, and looks like a Blogger standard, but it isn’t one of the horribly overused ones. The soft green colors are just enough to be aesthetically pleasing but not so much as to overpower the writing.
The extras are contained to just links and a shout box. Usually, a shout box would be a very bad addition to a site (I don’t care what anyone’s told you) but it doesn’t slow the page load so I can’t really complain about it. That’s the only part of the design that’s misaligned, and that’s probably just my screen resolution.
Overall, this is a pretty good blog. The design is nothing fancy, but the writing is deep and the content is kept to the topic at hand, which is good. I have to frown about the Google ads, but I didn’t even notice them at first. They’re unobtrusive, just like everything else on this site. I have to conclude with a 4.75… my highest score yet. Congratulations at having an almost perfect site.NULL
