Here's the link to the blog I am submitting for workshopping. More content will be posted when I sort out my computer snafu. While you wait, here's a picture of Indiana Jones I made.

    Alex,
    I like the clean cut feel of your blog. Your tone of voice definitely matches the feel and writing and content too. I especially like how easy it is to navigate through your posts; I’m still trying to figure out how to place just the latest post as the home page on blogger.
    Your post on Spring fest/ Block party is right on point too; you hit on every little bit that’s being discussed without over discussing it. “Who knows? I don’t.” This pretty much how everyone understands it. Then you present your audience with some lol-catz—slightly annoying but always entertaining lol-cats.
    My only problem with your content concerns one of your older posts—Five things and so on about Lil’ Wayne and the Beatles...You may need to expose yourself to some other music and catch up on your music history before making certain claims. You make a lot of comparisons and references that you need some updating on—I’d be glad to expand on them.
    Other than that post from February, I like the setup and feel of your blog. It fits in well with the sarcastic and investigative humor culture.

    Alex:
    Definitely like the title of your blog. I wouldn't change it, if you were considering it. Good first post, the tone of your writing definitely matches the content, and what a reader of your page might expect.
    It doesn't have a real clear focus to it yet, but I think you could just end up using it for your own commentary on different experiences and situations you see.

    Good start for sure.

    Alex:

    I'm not quite sure what your blog is about, except just to comment humorously on random thoughts or events. Blogs usually have a very narrow focus, and this one is very "all over the place." I think it's funny and the title is clever, but I would probably specify.

    Also, as far as layout is concerned, I would maybe think of a different template of color scheme to get people excited to read humor. I think the lack of pictures and plain white background will turn people away from what otherwise would be a funny reading experience. I like your different posts, but would make them easier to jump to on the sidebar.

    Kevin
