I could write all day about this site, but I will keep this short and sweet, so you may see for yourself.



Wow!! What a site. Great layout, and the whole design is wonderful. It struck me as being well thought out, and planned. I love the whole look of the site.



The writing is intelligent, colorful, and descriptive. Each post is well worth the read.



The only flaw is a small one. Each post is archived, but that is a forgivable mistake.



All in all No Chimps is a great site, and is well worth a look.

Lemon Lime is a pretty, if unremarkable weblog with no other purpose than to publish the opinions of its author.



The design and layout are both fine, with a nice touch of anime-inspired illustration, and the text and links are all legible.



However, nothing at the site really stands out. There’s not much to the blog, although it is at times quite interesting and there are plenty of links to off-site attractions.



Unfortunately this site doesn’t do enough to stand out from the crowd. The blog is uninspiring even though the design is good.Lemon Lime

The first thing that struck me was the colours, summery yet not overly bright or too garish. The design is excellently set out, not cluttered but allows the information to been seen easily.



The entries themselves provide an interesting read, with excellent links on and off site to various different resources such as dotcomments. I enjoyed looking at the lovely array of pictures of the author’s son that provided and insight into the authors life, also there was a good section on the authors life, which I felt useful in understanding his entries.



Overall an excellent blog with more than the usual blog entries, and excellent read.

The first thing I noticed after the shocking pink background was that Morrie Schwartz had misspelled “twenty” in the quote on the header. Or someone else did and blamed it on poor Morrie.



All of the regular angst of a normal teen blog, but the reading is easy, and no threats of suicide or matricide. As a mother, it helps to read these blogs, since my own child is now 15…and a half.

I liked the entries about driving, and school grades. I hope she made better than a “C” in Biology.



I didn’t mind the shocking pink background as it somehow seemed fitting for a teenaged girl. Her external links are mainly to other teen sites, and suit the structure of her own site. Especially good is the link to her website at Angelfire. At that site, I laughed hard at the “Interview with Myself” entry. Included at that site are some original drawings and photographs and some other links that are of interest.



All in all an interesting site to visit, with decent entries in her weblog and a site that carries itself well. Kristen Joy seems to be a perfectly normal teenaged girl, with all the worries and joys a teenaged girl should have.

Generally I hate to be forwarded to another page when I visit a site, but the graphic I was directed to was worth it this time. The Zen attitude of the graphic set the tone for the entire site.



Before I checked out the blog, I immediately clicked on “girl” to see what I could find out about the author. I found a very detailed and thoughtful entry about Ren and what she looks like, what she does all day, and how she got to this spot in life.

I must go easy on her blog though, she might hunt me down and slap me around like she does those who steal her graphics.



Basically, this is the blog of a 22 year old unemployed lady who does good web design and is pretty funny if you read her posts to her blog. She has only been blogging for a few weeks, and doesn’t blog daily yet, as she thinks nobody is reading it. But…we are.



Her site design is very good. All the links work, and the design is cohesive overall. Nice quiet background color and Zen-like feel to the site.



I had empathy for Ren and plan to return to visit her site again. I almost broke down and bought her the webcam…
