Cutesy is not a real word but if it was it would be a good way to describe my first impression of the design of this site. Pink, pretty, flowery, girly. I go straight to the authors blogger profile and see a huge amount of info about our hosts interests and favorite things and one of those mysterious photos you sometimes see. Is she hot? She kinda looks hot.. although I can’t really tell because the postage-stamp sized photo has her looking away. But thats ok, privacy and tact are a bloggers license after all.
Jessica loves her music and culture and her blog is thick with lists, photos, portraits, reviews and news. She sums them up pretty nicely and gives us her views on all these things interrupted only by news about her life and movements. She writes well but it doesn’t suck me in totally, and the site has not been updated for several weeks now. When she is on a roll, she will write long blocks of text without breaking them up into paragraphs to make them more readable, bite sized chunks of information.
The content basically revolves around not so much “the world” as “Jess’ world” and the things she is into at any given point in time. For example at the time of writing this there is a lengthy post on handbags that is probably fascinating for bag aficionado’s but doesn’t register on my fun-o-meter. But then, I’m not a girly girl like Jessica either.
World According to Jes is a nice looking site with heaps to see and read. It is a mish-mash of popular culture and Jessica’s day to day stuff with the potential for improvement, not a bad read but could be better. NULL
