This site has four posts. That’s it. September 9th, September 12th, September 13th, and November 14th – these are the days Jeff, the author, has posted on his weblog, Spaulding Bogosian.
For starters, I don’t know what or who Spaulding Bogosian is either. I tried Googling it, but only came up with a comment or two that Jeff, the author of this site, had left on a movie review website. Jeff lives in New Jersey, after some time in New York and a stint in the Midwest. He’s a stay-at-home dad for three boys. Moreover, once he gets on a soapbox, there’s really not much you can do to get him off – this is a great reason for him to have a weblog.
Design-wise, the site is hosted by Blog*Spot, and features one of the several popular Blogger templates. Jeff uses the pink version of this two-column layout. He keeps the information in his sidebar very limited – a link to his Blogger profile and his archives, listed by week and by title. Each post is very wordy, but to break up the monotony of so many paragraphs, Jeff throws in a picture of something that can somehow be tied to what he is writing – a dad (perhaps the author?) and three boys dressed up for Halloween, Martha Stewart, an indescribable image that caused me to laugh out loud, and my personal favorite, Dr. Sue Johanson from The Sunday Night Sex Show.
He covers topics that a lot of people can relate with. Thanks to his current lifestyle, he can easily write a humorous comparison to his life as a stay-at-home dad with that of a typical stay-at-home mom. It’s unquestionably worthy of note to read the take of a man’s opinion on so many things related to women, like most of his four posts are wont to do.
Obviously, the site is just getting off the ground. Once Jeff begins to post on a regular basis, I think traffic will increase for the site. As soon as that happens, it will be interesting to read the response to some of his opinions. Jeff does a good job implementing humor into his expressed opinions, but it’s the kind of humor that could easily offend some people and, on the other hand, just really crack someone up.
It’s hard to rate a site this early on in the game. From what I did read, I can see this site will be a hit once it finds it’s niche in the blogging world. Like I mentioned earlier, once Jeff starts writing consistently, there’s definitely an audience out there for him.
