-Rant-
I like pretty things. I enjoy looking at a website that someone has spent time creating. Because of this, I tried to make my site pleasing to the eye. Then there is the opposite of that…the website that is overdone. Take mtv.com for example (WARNING: do not go there unless you have an ultra fast computer or the patience of Job). I look around online for ranting and raving inspiration. I got to mtv’s website because they are a music news outlet. It takes the website forever to load and once it does, it is the hardest thing I have ever tried to read. Then it crashed Mozilla and I had to start my search over again. Also included in the website design annoyance department are all the people on Myspace who add a million and one different things to their page. What is the point people? You could take two seconds and type “I heart Pugs” but instead, you go to glitterupmymyspacepagerightnow.com and make us wait. Enough is enough people. Simple. Smart. That is all a website needs to be.
To those at mtv.com – maybe you should be more about the music and less about the clutter.

If you all are really getting into the whole blog thing I am, you will be happy to learn about Bloglines.com . This site is amazing. It is very simple, easy to set up, and saves a lot of time. You sign up for an account (free!) and it will give you some popular blogs as suggestions. From there you can type in a specific blog address (example: http://rantsnraves.wordpress.com works just great!) or you can search for ones you enjoy. As far as I can tell there is not a limit to how many blogs you can add. It’s pretty amazing having the ability to access all of your favorite web blogs all in one place. It is a very smart and simple website. If I gave out gold stars for awesome, Bloglines would totally get one!
Does anyone have any blog sites you love? If so, leave ‘em in the comments. I need to read more entertaining blogs.
