Like I ain't got enough to do

When I blogroll a site I usually look down its blogroll to see if I spot something new to me. From The Black Hand Side I picked out Endaikeio, self-described as a "Neo-Culture and Lifestyle Magazine" built on Moveable Type (isn't everything?). Looks to be 2 issues old.

Very nice start.

The content is very good. No complaints there at all. I always hit political pages first and that was good enough to make me at least scan everything else.

The design is attractive…I generally don't like splash pages, but I'll look at a pretty sista whenever…with couple of teeny, tiny layout inconsistancies that I may be the only one in the world to notice. And the quarterly issue concept gets sort of blurred when all the articles are listed without differentiation in the sidebar. Nothing critical that will take away from the quality of the work.

I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

Another new MT based ezine effort, this time plucked from the referral log, is Negrophile. At this point it's just the blog-format front page, which is how P6 started. I'm not sure what's planned for the site because it's not as developed as Endaikeio. It may not even be fair to expose it at this point if an ezine rather than an intricate blog like P6 is what's in the works. But it's attractively designed… which I keep mentioning because I HATE garish web sites, of which there are too damn many… and the blogging is well written, so whichever way it goes it looks to have promise.
