As reviewed by the prestigious theweblogreview.com:



"Yellow Brick Road does not carry a yellow colour scheme. It does not mention Dorothy (though the writers are called 'The Wizard' and 'Tin Man'), and there is certainly no mention of any Elton John music. The design of the site is, frankly, poor. A lot of the download time is taken up a a pretty rubbish graphic on the side of the page, and instead of any internal navigation to speak of (archives, about, contact) there are only links off-site and a long, long series of posts dating back to the year 2000.



But the site redeems itself. It's strange, and unexpected; if I wasn't reviewing this site then I would leave it immediately without reading anything simply because the design is so uninspiring. It redeems itself by being different. There are two writers, and for every post they carry a conversation, each taking a different viewpoint, carrying a different opinion. It works very well (not always, but more often than not). The site would score higher if it was more a site and less a page; the design needs work but thankfully the content is just right."

Dude, we got trashed. No, YOU got trashed. "The design of the site is, frankly, poor" and the "pretty rubbish graphic" HaHaHa!!!

But they lauded the writing..said it "worked very well" and that the "content is just right."

Laud is a bit of an overstatement and they were only drawn in by the gimmick. If only they knew how gimmicky this whole thing was. Sheesh. I'd say this was a fabulous review under the circumstances.

I don't want to pander to the masses or anything but the way is now clear. The light shineth. I will go to the top! The revolution begins anew!
