It’s not often that I get to review a blog and I don’t feel the need to click on in and every external link I can find to get the hell away from what I’m reading. While browsing the short-lived archives at InsanityChyld, I only found myself wanting to do one thing (in relation to this blog) and that was to find some more archives to read.
As I do with any site I end up reviewing, I want to read an “About†section to find more about the author, or in this case authors, why this site exists, or what I can expect by reading through their entries. This section didn’t let me down and filled all of those informational voids that you usually have the first time you start reading a new site.
There’s a warning featured on the “about†section letting readers know that the site isn’t intended for people under the age of 18 or anyone that’s close-minded. I like these authors already. This is also where I found that InsanityChyld is actually a group blog with five authors listed, all with anonymous personas.
Many of the posts are very personal in nature – an interaction between the boss of one of the authors discussing the growth of facial hair, for instance. While others turn a picture of Paris Hilton into a “Guess What’s Wrong†game that only ends in a not-so-pleasant discovery once you figure out what it is you’re looking for.
It only takes reading through just a few entries to realize that the author(s) don’t hold back when posting about their personal lives. While they may post pictures of themselves, nobody ever knows their real names, making them pretty tough to wind up on a random Google search by their boss (been there, done that).
InsanityChyld falls into the personal blog category very easily. People either like this type of blog, or they don’t. I found it enjoyable and have added it to my RSS reader. Will others feel the same way? Just reading two or three of the past two months of archives will help them easily make that decision.
