An incredibly likable weblog, girlrepair.com offers visual stimulation in addition to well-crafted personal blog entries. The author is a talented writer and photographer from Canada who infuses his own personality into posts, as well as into the whole of the girlrepair website. From the first page onward, girlrepair.com can be both exciting to read and view.
The author’s weblog entries do tend to ramble and he does lean toward the abstract, often embracing metaphors throughout the whole of his posts. However, the author is never obtuse; he is pensive and seems to devote himself to even the smallest of details. This can make for excellent reading or pure torture, wholly dependent upon the readers’ predilections. Those who enjoy reading personal entries with a dreamy, almost ethereal quality about them will assuredly appreciate the offerings at girlrepair.com.
The photography sections of girlrepair.com are not to be missed and will, most likely, be enjoyed by all, including those not fond of the weblog itself. The photos and photo essays greatly enhance the blog and will give potential readers a better understanding of the author and his environment.
Girlrepair.com will not appeal to everyone, but those with an artistic bent and an eye for detail will enjoy and savor this site.

It is always hard what to write when one is presented with equally good and bad parts. Well I shouldn’t say equally, but the bad part I am talking about is the design. I hate it. It makes me get dizzy. Well ok, not completely, but the font that was used for the navigation and for the title were making me crazy. I couldn’t stand to look at it.
So instead of looking at the design, I focused on the writing. His writing is very good for his age and posted some things that made me think. One of his more recent posts that made me think was “What would you do if you new you only had 1 week left to live” he explained what he would do, and it was very moving.
If there were a small re-design, this site would be better as it doesn’t do the writing any justice.

Alright! The author is unabashedly queer. The posts tend to be short, angsty, vulgar, very smart, and pointedly entertaining.
The website design is very slick and lean. While I abhor white text on black backgrounds, I endured it anyway. It was worth it. I am impressed.
I laughed, I winced, I bit my lower lip in discomfort.
Here is a snippit:
“on to my weekend
i shall not post until it is monday
and i have had my fill
of debauchery”
If I could make a wish for this site, it would be for longer, meatier posts. But isn’t that what every boy wants?

Aesthetically, this weblog is a generic Blogger template. The content is quirky and eccentric.. and there isn’t veyr much of it. I read the entire site in 2 minutes.
The site is SO eccentric that it’s almost inaccessable to the reader. I must admit that it did strike a familiar chord in me. Unappologetic weirdness is charming.
Developmentally, this site is just a little baby blog. It should come back for a review when it’s a bit older and can toddle around and has more content posted and a more distinctive look to it.

The garish neon puke green background, the arbitrary mixing of tenses, the lack of punctuation, missing in-between words, and a generally disjointed stream of thought leave this weblog virtually unreadable.
I like the minimalist look to the page though. (except for the color of course). The snowflakey flowers down the left side of the page are pretty.
The author seems to live an interesting life. If only the english wasn’t so painful to read, this site could have some potential.
