I responded to you on Twitter but I would go for Tumblr. Easy to maintain, and makes it very easy to publish media-heavy posts...which, even if your daughter is the next J.K. Rowling in terms of enthusiasm for the written word, Tumblr hits the right mix of decent flexibility and dead simple UI. I maintained my own Wordpress site but ended up posting much more frequently to Tumblr.
I now am basically 100% Jekyll and Middleman...but having tried teaching Github Pages to college students...I'm skeptical that it's easy enough for a child to hack around with and get the same amount of enjoyment and productivity that she would out of Tumblr or WordPress.
(Apparently Ghost is pretty good too but I've never tried it)
