Review by Daybreak Reviews
If you manage to decipher the meaning behind some of the more cryptic statements, it's a decent review, though she sugar-coated quite a few things.
First Impression: 4/10
When I first came to your site, it was...unique. However, the layout didn't give off a vibe that showed a lot of effort. The text was easy to read, but I suggest you change the color of your hover link. The hover link doesn't match with the layout. On your introduction about you, you seem to talk too much about random stuff. You should get straight to the point or make the point clearer.
I was paraphrasing Spiderman with his introductory speech. It's not random stuff.
Layout Design: 15/20
The colors sort of flow each other. There are some parts of the layout that doesn't even match. The scroll-bar is not a real big problem since your layout is gray. Like I said before, it seems like you threw everything in together at the last moment. The strokes on the words [at the top] and on your avatar should be a 1' pixel size. Your layout didn't take a long time to load so that's good.
What do you mean by: 'colors sort of flow each other'? Is it a good or a bad thing?
Now about your repeating background...it really isn't very nicely done. It's disjointed every 5 pixels and gives the site a rough edge, contrary to the gray toned-down chrome look you have going. You can probably fix this by using a 1px sliver of the repeatitive bg instead of a larger portion you have now.
Design » I could see scratches on the girl in the layout. You could do gradient in photoshop to make it less scratchy. Her feet should not be cut out. It looks ugly like that. For the tagboard...your scrollbar should better. I do not understand why you said BEST VIEWED IN: and you list almost everything there. 800 x 600 is the lowest, so there's no point in saying 800 x 600+. You should say rather is BROWSER'S COMPATIBILITY. It would make more sense. Your descriptions hover is really a great idea because I had no idea what those words meant at first. For your counter, it's cheating. A counter is supposed to represent the number of visitors visit, not the number of visitors and all their numbers of pages they visit. I went back one, and that's a new different number. Put it on one page.
My tagboard should better... what? Maybe I should've said 'tested with' rather than best viewed.
I was able to view your site in IE+, Mozilla FireFox, and SBC Browser. Good job! Your keep true to your words, I was able to view your site in 800 x 600 without any scrolling problems. The layout is also center as well!
Formatting » Since most of your navigation happens to be after you click the words, there's nothing wrong with that. You even have the back on those pages. You should just move the counter and edit your introduction about yourself. It's way too long. You jump from one sentence to another topic which might confuse a visitor. You were talking about spider-man and suddenly, you talked about yourself.
When you say "nothing wrong with that", what precisely do you mean by 'that'? Plus what does the content have to do with formatting?
Coding: 8/10
Your CSS was almost perfect. For the fonts, you should provide a genre so in case someone doesn't have this one font, they might have this other one. However, in your HTML code, for some of your quotations like <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"> which aren't recognized in the validation.
Near perfect yet you take away 2 points. Quotations? You mean code.
Content: 30/35
I will start according to your top navigation:
Memoirs
This leads to your actual blogging. I like the commenting so your readers can comment about your entry. However, you spelled Bellow wrong. Your entry may have some grammars, but it's a blog so it's all up to you.
'may have some grammars' is a rather cryptic statement. Care to be more specific?
Archive
Your old entries are saved. And you also have the comments from the past as well! That's a well done job in your archive!
Facts
You gave very descriptive facts about you. Congrats!
Self Description
Some of grammar are really off in your bio. You might want to look through once more. Other than that, it's a really nice descriptive bio.
I did look through it and couldn't find anything. Some examples would be helpful.
Appearance
I'm glad that you decided to open the pictures up in a new window. I love the pictures! I've never seen the dead-sea…it looks really pretty. At least the pictures go according to your words.
Quotes
The quotes are given credits so it's fine.
Contacts
If you change the color, then the form would be nicer. It looks disorganized.
Writer's Block
Your article was really interesting. It was long and descriptive so that's good.
Writing an Essay
Again, description and long. Good job.
Site History
I learned a lot about your history. You keep very good tracks of your history. However, on the "Navia's Corner", you should opened the link in a new window.
Gifts and Awards
I see no problems here except in your introduction. It sounds conceited in some way.
I'm being sarcastic, of course.
Past Layouts
Very detailed. Extra praise on this section!
Joined
No problem.
Disclaimer
This wouldn't be the correct title for this section. Inside this section, you gave all your credits. However, that's not what a disclaimer is. A disclaimer is a repudiation or denial of responsibility or connection. You should call this section credits.
Will do, thanks.
Liasions
I'm not sure if you intended to spell "liasions" this way because the correct way to spell it is "liaisons". I won't take off points here because I'm not sure. Anyways, your link out page is very organized.
I really SHOULD look big words up, before writing them down.
Errors: 10/10
I did not find a single broken link on this site. Excellent job! Just watch out for those grammar and spelling typos.
And I once again ask you for an example. A tiny one will suffice.
Overall Impression: 10/15
As a visitor, I would like to visit sometimes. Your writing section are very interesting so I would come back to read. The only part that might throw off the visitors is how the wordings are which makes you sound really arrogant. Also, your site doesn't have any much for the visitors to see or do. Maybe just reading...
