I know this is a blog, but since the author’s name is WDKY, I immediately thought ‘What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger’ was a blog for a radio station. I then noticed this is a London blog, and since I assume their radio station naming conventions are a little different, I figured out (along with looking at the bio) that it isn’t a radio station, just a middle aged guy that is having troubles being single.
I’m never crazy about the white or colored text on a black background, but in this case it works well. I liked the boldish text with the justified margins, mainly because of the increased line height of the lines of text, which makes it easier to read.
The best part of the blog is the writing. I chose to read “What Women Want?” expecting to get riled up at sexist comments but pleasantly surprised at some wandering, unresolved thoughts. At least the guy is honest, he doesn’t have all the answers and he’s okay with that.
The post on “F*ck duties and taxes” was again a surprise. I expected a political rant and instead got an experience of buying a $10.95 t-shirt that came out to $67.12 with the shipping charges.
I liked this blog a lot. That is why I read blogs, for the unexpected.NULL
