I had to review this site because for a long time it was a regular read of mine. Then some time later I lost interest in the site and only periodically checked it out.
Design:
I like layouts that can give the feeling that there was some work done to make it look good, without the gawdy ‘artsy type sites’ that take a month to download even with high speed access. This site achieves that. She’s got a good use of colors and icons and the layout is easy to follow. From what I recall re-designs are plentiful so by the time you read this the big funny cat may be gone.
Content:
Like so many blogs it’s really more of a means to communicate with people she knows than to provide any definable content. I don’t say this as a bad thing but to find something that interests me (being an oustider) was hard to come by. That said, I like her style of writing all the same. Be warned that she wasnt kidding when she warned The Weblog Review that she’s a potty mouth.
Extras:
There are plenty of links to rings and cliques if you you’re into that sort of thing. But I found her gallery to be the best extra on the site. She complains ‘its a peice of..’ wait, I cant post that here. But whether she likes it or not it adds value to the site for sure.
One thing that was missing for sure was an ‘about me’ type page or section. I realize that there’s a cam shot and you can tell a lot about a person that way but I want more details. I need to be involved with the person I’m reading if I’m going to read often.
Overall:
A good site for casual viewing. Myself I check back almost exclusively for the photos, but I’m wacky like that, I like to see other peoples pictures 🙂
Take a look for yourself at the site, depending if you’re in her age group (which I’m clearly not) will have some bearing on if you consider it one of your regular reads.
