Maybe you are and maybe you are not looking for a fresh take on the human existence. By fresh, I mean honest, which to many people are one and the same. Have a look at “Wonderland or Not” which is a personal blog that is ‘conceptually fragile’ and ‘left of most lines’. While this is far from an R Rated blog, you definitely need to be in the 18+ crowd to appreciate it. By that, I mean the musings are mature (though not adult rated) and are somewhat tongue in very honest cheek. The author writes here every day leftovers, random pop culture commentary, social commentary, political opinion, entries she terms ‘bad poetry’, about what concerns her and makes her laugh, of being the spawn of fiscally conservative liberals, and so much more. Still not quite sure what the blog is about? It is a personal one, containing personal musings with an intriguing Alice in Wonderland theme at its crux. That may not have told you much, but you have to spend some time here and do some quality reading to get a true feel for it. Some of the recents posts include: Follow Me I am Paying for Comments, As Bikini Kill so Aptly Put it…., Pay for Blog Comments – Monday Night Mash, The Loswer Nowickedwitch and the No go, The Heat is On, We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident and I Dreamed I was Dying, and I’m free to do what I want any old time.
Navigation on this site is very straightforward. Posts are left marginalized with black text on a white background and there is both a right navigation bar and a top menu. The right navigation bar contains asides and other places menus; recent posts menu; recent comments menu; subscription areas; and tags for personal musings on politics, pop culture, sex, sexism, and society. The top menu contains the about page, archives, blogroll, books, contact links, race, rings, and shop. There is also a very unique footer on the page with some abstract photos and a Wonderland quote on ‘going mad’. Other than that, there are no pictures on the site from what I could tell. Also, the blog does not contain any advertising so the author is using the blog entirely as a platform for her musings, and not for marketing, which is an interesting switch from most in the blog world.
I am giving this one a 3.5 Navigation was very easy, and activity was frequent as well. The content offers a unique juxtaposition between eloquent speak and personal voice which I really enjoyed reading. I think the uniqueness is heightened by the quirky Alice in Wonderland quotes as well. I would like to see some more pictures on this blog just for appearance sake, and perhaps a category menu as well. I am not sure if the author wants her posts organized, but as a reviewer I like to see that menu if for no other reason than the category listing gives me an idea of what content I am going to find there. Overall however, the blog is well done and has a good readership based on its content. There is little else I could offer in the way of feedback, as I suspect its success will continue.
