The graphics and color scheme of this
site are the first things that really
grabbed me. “ooh, slick” were the words
of my internal monologue. Purple,
shadows, blackness, mmmmmm. And the
purple-tinted graphic of an attractive
woman on the side – nice.
My interest was aroused.
Then I started reading. The very first
line read, “need weed”. Easy to
identify with that. Then I was
immediately assaulted by the chronic (no
pun intended) misspellings, aol-esque
abbreviations (2 for “to”, & for “and”,
4 for “for”, u for “you”, you get the
idea), and general abuse of the english
language. My interest fizzled and I
developed a headache.
It’s a shame too because the author
seems very passionate and worth knowing.
The skinny white text on the black
background burns my retinas. The “posted
at” color is much too dark to be read on
the black background.
In a sentence: An otherwise fascinating
weblog crippled by poor use of language
and poor font/background choice.
