I stalked my 12 year old son's Bebo page (while he was there I should add!) and I found it fascinating how he projected himself and the stuff, design, bling etc attached to his page (usually he is incredibly neat in his written work for example so this was a surprise to me).

I admire the way that two destinations (the WACTAC homepage and the Walker's institutional info about teen programmes) are combined into one landing page, and the sliding yellow band is genius - the hint of subversion contained in the Courtney Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465703476413455843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975372.post-22765955752140280022008-05-06T07:56:00.000+10:002008-05-06T07:56:00.000+10:00Hello,I am the designer of the Teens site at the W...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I am the designer of the Teens site at the Walker. We had to distinct audiences in mind: museum professionals and Teens, especially teens who are part of WACTAC.

There is also the option for each user to design their own home pages.
