Okie Blogs: Part 5

January 29th, 2009

I’m going to step things up a bit and go through two three categories today. Again, I’m only linking to those blogs about which I have something specific to say but they’re all good. You can see the whole list on the Okie Blog Awards page

BEST HUMOR BLOG

Bee Spot – I got excited when I saw this title but it’s not about bees. It is very funny though. A lot of personal, “life is funny” kind of humor. (And who could have guessed John Cage had something to say about blogging)

The Crib Chick – Very nice. Humorous but I am attracted to this one mainly because of the cultural references.

Decisionally Challenged – I am exited about this one because Georgie left several comments here. Thank you thank you thank you. Oh, and she’s funny too. I liked the post on what to do when the kids have a snow day.

Irritated Tulsan – When I saw the name of this blog I thought maybe my oldest son had started another blog. (joking) This is a great blog. Lots of locally inspired humor and lots of photos and other images. I like the Honest Cherokee Casino Billboards.

The Lost Ogle – Funny local and current events commentary. Fantastic ice storm photo with a poke at the local media.

PhotoTune – Political humor. I love the photoshops of Tom Coburn. Heh… a physician nicknamed “Dr. No.”

BEST AUDIO BLOGS – I’m mostly skipping this category because I don’t listen to a lot of audio and multimedia because our “wonderful” so called “high speed” ISP limits how much multimedia stuff we can listen to/watch so I mostly save our tiny allotment for an occasional half hour of YouTube surfing. I do want to mention though, that The Daily Bitch, which is not all audio, looks like a nice all-around blog.

BEST-LOOKING BLOG

I’ve been reading Incurable Insomniac for several years. She always has a nice looking layout. I’ve always liked the little piano picture at the top.

Maggie’s Mind – a pretty header and a nice easy-on-the-eyes color scheme.

Okay City – A fun header image and lots of nice photos in the blog.

Red Dirt Ramblings – a beautiful header and a nice easy-on-the-eyes color scheme that is also appropriate for the blog title.

Design Crush – The design is very plain but nice. This blog has a lot of great photos and art images which help to give it an overall attractive, fine artsy look.

    Hey, thanks for the shout-out!! I feel terrible that I’ve not had much time for blog-reading over the last several months and I’ve missed out on so much good stuff!
