    Hi there, I saw your cute site image and thought I should visit. But when I got here, it’s completely change, none the less, I will still do a small review for the site, basically my opinion about your site. Alright so let’s start. =)

    HOME: the top banner is kind of cool with the symbols and glowing colors, but makes me wonder, what is this site about? Woolisauce. Hmm. That doesn’t help me much xD I don’t see a welcome note or anything. I see a video first thing when I scroll down; your blog is more of a podcast now, pretty neat idea if you can handle it. Most people give up after 2 or 3 pods. I like the headings of your blogs. Very nice, although I hate the bright colors with the white and gray because I think that’s pretty tacky, you’ve made it work and I actually like the design. In the video, you’re moving your chair, like you didn’t really plan or prepare for this, and your excuse is you’ve done this before so you don’t have much to say now.  […]

    First Tip: when doing podcast or a video blog, try to stay in touch with your viewers, like when you type your blog, are you looking at the screen xD same deal, when you’re talking look DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA, don’t sway back and forth, here and there, make comments like its cold in the basement because yes, my basement is always cold, that is why I have my computer down here too, so it doesn’t get over heated . No one puts their computer in the attic… excuses won’t do you much but take up time so don’t beat around the bush, get do the updates and important points in your video blog.

    […] next I scroll down and see your bottom, good info to provide at the bottom. I say that’s all you need. Good job. Next is VISITOR:

    Second Tip: it’s great you offer graphics and resources for viewers, but do them another huge favor by simply linking those text links and making them into a list. the common issue with linking visitor stuff, don’t make it centered please, it’s very unprofessional, since I still don’t know what the site is about, I’m still wondering what it offers, now I see, but the links are better off if you make them all aligned left and into bullets. It’s great for the eyes and it only takes you a few seconds to do. 

    -Avatars/Icons: you don’t have much going for you here but they are cute. Hope you get time to add more!

    -Articles: alright, I like your 2 articles, informative, useful, and good spelling =D

    -Emoticons: wow, you have quite a lot of these don’t you, nice, I’ll be taking the stars because they’re so cute!

    -Inspirational Quote Bars: you could work some more on the Inspirational banners...how ironic xD

    -Pixels: very impressed by the quality and quantity of your pixel collection, keep up the great work!

    -Stock Images: these are more like gallery images but nice try, oranges!

    -Website Materials: you have plenty of website material, so colorful and cute! Great job here too.

    Alright, now we are on the OWNER page where again the links are centered, but these don’t looks so bad because they are sized the same in words.

    -About me: organized and well planned out, nice pictures. You friend Lucy reminds me of my friend Judith.

    -Affie Gifts: what can I say, they’re yours and I don’t have much words of advice here.

    -Contact Me: PREFECT contact page, I liked how you typed your email out, don’t ever link emails, they’re baaaaad!

    -The Face: same pictures of you. don't repeat please =D

    -My Prizes: neat prize, that’s a funny picture of him!

    -My Toybox: aww your toybox is soo adorable!!!!!! But some of the toys are broken (broken links) 

    -Now Playing: wow, that’s a lot of songs, we have 8 songs in common, you have a semi good tastes …I’m not supposed to judge you, but your site, and her I am…I get carried away, sorry.

    Now, finally SITE stuff.

    -Buttons (link me): aww, your buttons are so cute! make more

    -Credits: good list of credits, I think I’m enjoying myself on the site

    -Joined/Listed: nice list, if you can, add the banners of these places, you’re linking everything by text which is turning out to be boring.

    -Link Exchange: that’s a good set of friends but I’m wondering where the APPLY link is, what if someone wants to exchange with you? You should make a form or a tag board right here for them to ask.

    Third Tip: linkages such as affiliates or exchanges deserve some respect yeah? Well, linking their name with a text link isn’t showing them you really care about them. Would you like it if they did that to you? If they do, they tell them to change their habit, that’s very rude and offensive sometimes. They are like family so be kind and link their site banners, give their names, the type of site they have, what they offer, a small explanation something that makes them happy and you too. If you link them in a nice way, they’ll do the same for you. Give and receive. You even mention they are your online FRIENDS. Link them in a more proper way than that to show them you appreciated their support and friendship.

    -Old Posts: your old posts are just achieves which really belong in the blogs pages.

    -Past Layouts : are very nice and adorable, too information for each of them, you provided an image which is super!

    -Received Reviews : you’ve gotten one review from Georgina, she gives great reviews but why don’t you add the reviews you get on rev.iew.me on there too?

    NAVIGATION: I like the side navigation, the links, how you have your affils all there, the recent updates, there’s a nice flow to it.
    Forth Tip: follow similar ideas about the third tip but think about your affiliates, they deserve even more than exchanges. Have an affil info page where you can talk a little about each affil. I bet they have you linked with your banner! And if not, they’re just don’t know if they should because you haven’t already done so.

    Alright that was fun, thank you for letting me tell you my opinion and posting your site! :D

    While the design probably isn't my cup of tea exactly it is actually done nicely and seems appropriate for the content.

    I actually like a lot of the stuff you offer although it took me a bit to find it as your navigation is kind of neat but also kind of hard to discover initially. Still maybe that adventure bit is part of the fun and all of the navigation certainly fits the theme.

    It's nice to see that your CSS validates and I guess now you need to look at fixing up those few HTML validation errors.

    Anyway keep at what you do - I like the stuff that you are making and think your site is kind of nifty and memorable.

    Hi, my name is Anne and I'll be reviewing your site.

    First impression
    This is cute, but small. Colours are all pastel - wonder when I will get sick of it or IF I will. It's just.. pastel have a tendency of being too cute in the end. We will se about that ;D I can't help to wonder why your site title is "Woolisause =3" - why does "woolisause" equal 3? I'm lost on this one xD

    Layout
    I think you could make something great that would fill the screen nicer. Or at least center it, maybe? (: I have a 15,4" monitor so it is not all that bad, but on my fathers 22" monitor (which I use frequently) this would, sadly, look ridiculous. Thumbs up for making a pretty background, though - it does help a little. Your pixeling skills are pretty good from what I can tell (I have pixeled, but I sucked so bad I gave up on it). Maybe you'll have some nice pixel graphics on your site :D :D :D I can't wait, if they are as cute as the layout image.

    Content
    You: There's not very much content, but I wish there was! Your pixels are the cutest. The globes are really creative. Make more of those ;) The Japanese thing is waste of space, sadly. I think that a lot of site offer much greater directories and tips. It's a neat idea, really, but what are the chances that someone who wants to learn Japanese goes to your site? Hmm, sorry, but the target group of your site probably don't care to look over this content. Focus on those great, great graphics ;D
    Me: You look pretty in the picture on the "about me" page, but it's too little. Put up a few more and slightly bigger ones :) It's nice to know what people look like.

    Final words
    I believe you should totally stick to making good, pixel graphics (: you are really good and I believe you could offer something really special. Keep it up! Oh, and maybe you should try another kind of layout - one that looks better on all screens and not top/right adjusted ;)

    RachelL's Response:

    Thanks for the review :D

    Haha, with the title, =3 is a face. Perhaps I'll change that xP
    I agree with you on the Japanese thing, it's a waste of time too... it's seriously SO ANNOYING to compile. I'll be taking that down.

    I also agree with you on the layout size/position... unfortunately I can't seem to center this one because it's not just float: left or right like with a two-column layout, because of the three weirdly-positioned divs I am using. I think I could center it with iframes but those are like go die >.> So next time I make a layout i'll work on that :)

    I'll put up some more pictures too ^.^

    Thanks again for the review and I'll keep all you've said in mind!
