Pulau Blogging
I went blog hopping yesterday. Actually it was more like blog hopping-hopping-hopping as I went to view my friend’s blog followed by his/her friend’s blog and so on and on. Honestly I do not realize much much much earlier the fact that there are a wide variety of blogs out there in the cyber world.
Unfortunately going through most of the blogs can be a very vexing experience. There are quite a few blogs out there when you click on to it, suddenly without warning your speaker will blast out some loud trashy rock bands that will make you jolt in sudden surprise. At least they are much better than those belting out some corny pop-ish boy-band tracks.
Some lagi best. Actually this “phenomena” can be traced back to Friendster. Just like in their Friendster account, this group of bloggers actually plastered all over their blog pictures of them in various kawaii pose. Stretching out their hands in the air with their handphones in hand, they would sheepishly smile at the camera while snapping up the picture themselves. Their blog & Friendster profile would be filled with ga-zillions of such self-taken photos in various poses. Its like so………what the hell? Getting 1 or 100 photos of yourselves would not change the fact that your face is still your face no matter what. By adopting different kawaii pose does not change the fact that you are ugly. People will not right click on your photos to save them. You will only get cursed at as by clicking on to your blog will only make my computer lag. Simply shamelessly narcissistic.
If you read my blog (which is what you are doing right? that is so stupid of me), you will notice that I keep my blog layout as simple as possible. I adore and embrace minimalism. Especially so in the world of blogging as I believed that blogs are meant for the sole purpose of documenting one’s views on various issues to be read by others. As it is meant to be read by other people like you, keeping it simple is the rule. If it is not meant for the reading pleasure of others, I would be better off writing one of those Popular bookshop “Made-in-China” diaries with blue puffy angels adorning its cover with tiny cutesy golden locks at the sides to keep it secure right?
Yet with the rising popularity of blogging, bloggers are spoilt for choice in choosing the layouts for their blogs. You will rarely see any two blogger sharing the same layout. Mine is a perfect example, but only maybe because my layout is so passé. Some of the layouts I have seen are pretty cool. But some are just plain dumb. Once you click on to the link, you will be greeted by a super-large image or some super-imposed tacky phrases like, “my mind is confused…” or “the world is blind”. Come on, coming up with such cheem phrases only makes you look like PCK quoting Shakespeare.
And the best part is that usually their entry would be confined to a small tiny box that occupies exactly 1/5 of the total area of the monitor screen. You will have to scroll down this tiny “box” just to read his entry. Most probably these groups of bloggers are expecting Polly Pockets to read them. Then again its better to spare Polly from such a visual abuse.
