This is a re-review of Guppychild.com
Despite the use of various shades of green I found the design of this site instantly appealing, technically speaking it should not work, but there is nothing offensive here. It’s easy on the eye, clear to read and above all quite appealing. There is a brief introduction to the author in the right hand menu, which is continued in more details on this page. I found both interesting and enlightening, and feel they prepared me well for what I would find in the weblog itself.
Guppy Child is a well established weblog, having been in existence since May 2001. The first few posts are as enlightening as the site / author biography - in particular that the site is that of a teen still in high school. But this is no ordinary teen, there is no typical teen lingo here - in fact quite the contrary, what a reader will find here are well written thought out entries which in the main would appeal to a wider audience than the typical teen blog. Sidhe writes very well in fact, and I quickly find myself scanning through her archives with varying levels of interest. I enjoyed her style tremendously, on occasion she writes so well you feel almost as though you are an observer watching the events of her life play out. To say I am impressed by what I read here is an understatement, this is a weblog with real potential for the future.
A straightforward two column template in green with no real design problems. It’s easy on the eye, clear enough to read and navigate, and is individually tailored to suit both it’s author and the content. OK, so green may not be to everyone’s tastes and technically it shouldn’t work as well as it does, but I find the effect quite appealing.
Guppy Child may technically be a teen blog but I firmly believe that it has a much wider appeal than a mere teen audience. Sidhe writes well, her posts are frequently enlightening and eye opening, encompassing the very best of personal journaling online. All in all this is a must read for anyone who appreciates a well written life blog, who is willing to look beyond her age and actually read what she has to say. A glimmer of hope in teen weblogs, a definite 5.0

For a teen blogger, sixteen-year-old Sidhe of guppychild.com is something
of a minor pro, and it shows. The design is as good as they come, the blog
has sufficient content, AND she has a webcam.
Unlike most teen bloggers, Sidhe does not record trivial information that
so fascinate the average teen blogger. She writes about happenings in her
life that affect her and her reflections on those happenings with clarity.
Because of this, and because she does not try to be cute ("Dashboard
Confessional is so cool. La la la."), her blog comes across as mature and
honest.
I'd say the design of the site is immaculate. Everything is within easy
navigation: links arranged neatly in piles and archives in a pull-down bar.
One feature I loved: the blog content itself is in a separate frame so that
when archives are accessed, only that frame refreshes, instead of the whole
page. The layout is also impressive; background of a starry universe and an
eye-catching graphic.
As far as teen blogs go, guppychild.com is a 5.0 blog. Rather than try too
hard to be interesting, Sidhe simply blogs what she feels. As a result, her
blog captures teenage angst in all it's true form.
