FIRST IMPRESSION (7/10 pts)
*blink* non color? Other then that, very neat and organized. =)
LAYOUT AND DESIGN (40/55 pts)
As I said...why oh whyyy is the whole layout greyscale? The header design is so pretty too...it would look gorgeous if the flowers were different colors at least...or the site name...or the text...anything! haha. And I'm not sure about that wide horizonital line stretching under the header. It looks nice...but perhaps it would be better if it stretched across the whole width of the window. needless to say, I love the way your blog titles are a large script font...and also how the date is in a little calendar thing. I've seen those around the web and think they're so adorable ^_^ But I can never figure out how its done =/
CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION (28/30 pts)
As I said, very organized =) The navigations seems a little too far down the page though =/ I'd suggest shortening the welcome message at the top so theres more room for it higher up in the sidebar. Also, the sidebar is a bit over-crowded right now. You should try and figure out how to either combine some sections (like affiliates and hostees maybe) or delete some that you don't feel are very important (such as the "thank yous"...since theres already a section for that in your website)
I really like your section about yourself and all the different categories you have =) On a lot of reviews I've received for my site, they always talk about how I should only have one page devoted to me...but I love the idea of having different sections! The "eye candy" section was especially unique! haha I will admit though, some things could be done without/combined with other sections such as your "travel" and "habits" sections...these are both very small and would be better added to another larger section.
Interesting stuff in the visitor section. A few things to fix up: In the color page, the word "yellow" is overlapping with the title, the "nails", "undereye", and "love quote" pages have little question mark symbols in some of the context, and the birthday page isn't working. Entertaining "reads" section!
Pretty straightforward domain section. Might want to check up on the "Exits" page though cause the colors seem off on the headers.
Love the tutorials! The way they're set up is great...and theres so many! Very very helpful!
I don't know much about psds...or what they are really...but I like them and the section is organized nicely =)
I like the goodies page as well...except "scripts" is spelled wrong in the link to the php scripts section. I've also noticed that the descriptions in each of your main sections seems to be a times new roman font...or something very close to it. Times New Roman is a lot nicer looking on printed pages rather than websites...so changing it a more easy to read font such as Ariel or Verdana would probably be a good thing to do =)
CODING, BROKEN LINKS, ETC (3/5 pts)
Here are the results for your site from the
W3C Validator. Since theres only 6 minor errors, I highly suggest fixing them up so that your site can be properly validated =)
TOTAL (79/100)
Overall, you had a pretty good site. I would mainly suggest doing something about your layout or adding some colors to it to make it more interesting and attractive to visitors and also shortening the sidebar a bit so it doesn't take over your site. Besides that, theres only some minor things involving links or spelling that can be fixed up in a jif =) I was very impressed with the amount of content you have to offer for your visitors. Keep up the great work!
