Paige gave it on 6th Mar 2009 and said:
My first impression of this site is that the color scheme looks quite nice together. Iâ€™ve noticed yet another Twilight theme, it looks nice though. It is really great that you have made an un-framed layout, it makes for a professional-looking, yet organized site. There is one problem -- the spacing between DIVS is uneven. The space is very large between the navigate and welcome DIVS. Also, the spacing left on the bottom is uneven, too. As people will notice in the owner section there is no extra line space beneath and in the current layout section it looks like you over-used the code. In the typo reporter it has a pink text box, it doesnâ€™t match. Ah, the freewebs bar. It is blue, which also doesnâ€™t match, perhaps you could change it.

Portfolio. It is always nice when people have their art to show. Your debates are nice, it is good to show both sides of an argument. You should get Cutenews, or Wordpress so you could have people comment directly on the article. I think instead of having the Photography and Art menus, that say none yet, you should just delete that entirely until youâ€™ve got it. I think you should add some of your personal writings, (e.g. - poetry, stories, etc.)

About. I like how your links are organized -- I am a neat freak. Past layouts -- I love looking at peoples past layouts! It can show how people have improved, and you have! Credits -- wow, these are unique, I may suggest having listing things like brushes *link* *link* *link*, but your credits are already quite organized, it is nice that you are specific on what-helped-you-with-what. Link me -- oh gosh! This is a lot to look at! I donâ€™t think it will really benefit the viewer, most people know how to make a simple text link. You have a lot of buttons, in a good way. I think that you shouldnâ€™t bother with the code! Do you want other people using up your precious web space? Just leave a blurb saying no direct linking, and delete the codes. That should do the trick.

Guest. First impressions -- nicely organized. Your icons, I really think you should go through this and replace some older ones. Most of them are pretty cute. I personally like the zebra print one! Stock photos -- These are pretty nice, but what will people use them for? If these were taken personally by you, I would suggest transferring them to your portfolio. Tutorials -- hey, looks like we have a similar tutorial. Yours looks much more in detail than mine! ^.^ I like how you show examples of a bad and good favicon. All of your tutorials are very much in detail, you should make more. Interactive -- these are cool. My favorite is the penguin maker. These seem difficult to make.

Comment, well I canâ€™t really critique a tagboard. In conclusion I say that the problems in your site are very minor. It is just little appearance issues. If you change those, youâ€™ll be surprised how even more successful Crumpled Understanding will be.

Muse gave it on 2nd Mar 2009 and said:
Hullo there, Natalie. ^^ I'm going to be making a fairly quick pass through your site; what this basically means is that it's rather disorganized and jumpy, much like how I think.

Design/Aesthetics:

It looks like the site of a Twilight fan. ;D
It also looks a bit blocky.

Graphics-wise:

1. I don't like the font you're using for much of the site (overused and a bit clichÃ©), but that's more personal opinion. The soft effect of light shining on the text is well-used, however.
2. Image looks rather scribbly and done in MS Paint, and not quite as polished as one might like.
3. And then the pixel font underneath the apple looks out of context.

It's blocky because you have all these pink boxes floating on top of the background, and all of them need a little more padding inside (at least 4px). And because your headers have blocks and your 'posts' (although they're really headers too, because you've marked them up in h3s) have blocks, and your sidebar has header blocks but the typo reporter and navigational links look to be floating on the black background itself...

Personally, I think each section of the sidebar should be its own block. So the 'Owner' and text underneath should all be one pink block, and the 'Elite Affiliates' header and links underneath should all be one pink block...et cetera. Same goes for the blog area; keep it as one pink block, or one pink block per post.

Also, the headers (for 'Up and Running - Again' and 'Welcome') are a bit wider than the text beneath them, so it looks a bit disjointed and less uniform.

Side note: dashed borders under headers, without exception, always remind me of amateur web sites. They don't look all that good.

Navigational buttons annoy me. For one thing, they should be placed above the welcome, probably, and definitely above the fold (meaning: they should be clickable without the use having to scroll down, so probably in the first 500 pixels of the top of your website). The main text ('Portfolio', 'About') seems crammed in the corner, when it should be nearer the middle. This way, the text is not the focus of the button, the image is; and the image doesn't tell anything about what the buttons link to! Put the title of the navigational buttons in the centre. And just so you know, the pixel text in the bottom right corner is fairly unreadable. I didn't notice it with a casual glance, and it's hard to read.

I advise re-placing your navigational buttons above your blog posts but below your site title.

Content:

More of a compulsive-editor thing than anything else, but the text in your sidebar tends towards choppiness (particularly the 'owner' part, with all those sentences starting with 'I like', 'I like', et cetera). Anyways:

Welcome text should explain what this site is about. It says "You've obviously stumbled onto crumpled-understanding"...well, yeah, I realize, but what does that mean for me? I can read a story you wrote about a world-trotting historian? I can find pretty brushes for my use? I can comment on your blog posts? Please elaborate. If you don't state your purpose to visitors (and they can't easily discern sections of your site by looking at your navigation, which is, I repeat, under the fold) they'll be confused. Right now the welcome text mostly talks about the owner. Isn't that what that other pink block down there is for?

Copyright statement is worded redundantly (if the site is copyrighted to you, the content would be too, right?). I would advise changing it to this:

Unless otherwise stated, all content on Crumpled-Understanding is copyright © 2008-2009 Natalie. All rights reserved.

I'm not a lawyer, but that should be decent. Or dispense with the legalese and just say 'Copyright Natalie of Crumpled-Understanding (stuff not made by me can be found in my credits page). Please respect the time I spent working on this site.' Simple, but effective.

Also, there is no point to using an image for the copyright symbol. Use & in your code instead, and you'll get the symbol in text.

And this is more of an SEO thing, but I don't like your title for the home page. Why not just make it Crumpled-Understanding?

In 'Owner' text: "My name is Natalie, I like to do gymnastics and dance" is grammatically incorrect, since you're joining two sentences that aren't directly connected with a comma. Try "My name is Natalie; I like to do..." or "My name is Natalie, and I like gymnastics and dance".

And that's it...for the homepage. I'll skim over the other sections.

Portfolio: there's no point in making sections for stuff that doesn't exist. One empty section is understandable; two says "I need to put more content on this page but haven't gotten around to it, so this is more wishful thinking than anything else". I'm not wearing my writing editor hat now, so I will refrain from going through your writing with a fine-toothed comb. Honestly, I think the topics you chose for the articles are too easy. There's no debate in the pets-as-gifts article. It's already fairly clear even before it's loaded how you're going to present the facts. (And you do know your article on pets as gifts has the page title "testing", right?) Conclusion: you put much more effort on one side of the argument than the other, clearly showing bias; you chose topics that are practically foregone conclusions; writing isn't particularly exceptional, but at least it's clear.

Also, there is no place to comment. So I honestly can't tell you how I feel about an issue, and the text "How do you feel about this? Respond by commenting!"

Oh wait. There is. In a separate page of your site. Perhaps you can link it from the notices at the end of each article, so as not to confuse people like me?

One thing I did like, however, was the short summary for the pets-as-gifts debate. (Clearly, you've put more work in that article than the TV v. books one.)

Honestly, I wish you'd rename this 'articles' if you don't have anything else in this section.

About: technically should go before 'Portfolio' in the navigation, since we'll likely want to know about the owner of a site before her writing. On your homepage you talk more about yourself than the portfolio pieces your site has on display, as well...

Past layouts is riddled with grammatical errors, but does have an admirable and critical self-review of what you think of each.

Guest: the icons are somewhat mediocre, save for the adorable sandcastle illustration oneâ€”did you make it? Stock photos are, however, quite nice (though I haven't seen them up close). Tutorials need some proofreading and are mostly rather generic and not too useful (although I found the checkboxes at the end of the tutorial-for-writing-tutorials cute, and a novel idea). The little interactive games I didn't have time to try, but they don't look too bad.

Code:

I won't pretend to be a coding expert, so I'll just make a few quick notes:

1. HTML-wise, there's no reason to have empty style="" attributes for all your tags (it doesn't make any sense, really).
2. You do know the h3[/h3] tag is used for [i]headers[/i], right? Why are you using it to display normal text? That's what paragraphs ([code]p tags) are for! Use paragraphs and you won't have to litter your code with all those <br /> tags either to simulate what paragraphs look like.
3. You have a mystifyingly huge number of <style type="text/css"> junk in your header, when they could all be condensed to one. If you then proceed to declare inline styles (in your body, setting the margin, for example) it doesn't really make sense.
4. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but linking to JavaScript styles via script src should also be done in the header, yes?

No other quibbles (for me) after my quick look through your code.

Wrapping up, Other:

I love the typo reporter. I'm guessing you've gotten the idea from Jemjabella so I can't quite commend your originality...but I like anyone that shows any sort of dedication to error-free website copy. So, cheers. ^^ I've sent in a few reports about typos on your site.

Okay, on to sweeping generalities. Your site shows a decent effort at experimenting in web design, and I do hope you'll continue. No offenseâ€”I think you have quite a bit of work left, but you're taking criticism quite graciously and this is really the kind of thing you learn about on the job. ^^

It's not that pretty right now (either through limited skill or because you haven't really figured out what your style is and how to accomplish it, I'm guessing), and I can't honestly say I like the layout too much. But it can be tweakedâ€”just making it less blocky would be much better.

Your site's fairly par for the course as regards personal websites. One of my main problems with your site is the seeming lack of focus. I'd like it declared somewhere, "This is my site! It has some of my writing and some stuff I think is useful to visitors!", so when landing on your homepage I'm oriented immediately about what kind of stuff I can expect to be on your site.

And I hope you move on from Freewebs someday; it's probably already stifling you when you try to do more complicated things (right now you don't have a blogging system, and you've been forced to use iFrames for lack of PHP support)...there are quite a few sites out there you could apply for a subdomain at, when you feel the need.

Good luck. ^^

UPDATED 02 Mar 09:
You're most welcome, and good luck. ^^

Re: the Times New Roman issue: I've looked at your code and the only thing I think might be causing your issue is this:

i, em { font-family:times new roman;}

In general, I don't really approve of styling italics or emphasized text differently (it's kind of odd to have a change in font-family in the middle of a block of text, and can mess up line-height in certain cases), so I would advise you to leave this out.

But I'm not quite sure if this is causing the problem (it's the only place Times New Roman is mentioned anywhere in your stylesheet) Try using p {font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif !important;} in your CSS and viewing your site again in anything but IE; it's a kind of messy fix but may work.

Natalie's Response:
Thankyou for reviewing me. I can see what you mean about it being blocky now ;)

I'll change the problems when I can.

I will move on from freewebs when I can, because one of my affiliates has offered to host me.

Oh and you mentioned the whole h3s for text, well for some reason, if I wrap my text in the paragraph tags, the font comes out as times new roman, even if I style it not to.

Thanks again for your review, and I'll try to improve as much as I can.

UPDATED 07 Apr 09:
Thanks. I'll be sure to fix that up after I get over my flu.

Layout

My first impression of it is not a good one, I'll leave it at that. It reminds me of some of the things I used to make in Word where I just pasted images together in a word document. I'm not sure what the purpose of the repeating black boxes with CC in them serve. I first thought it was navigation but nothing is click-able. Header is way too big and takes up too much room.

So now my suggestions on the image part, I would suggest finding some kind of crinkled paper texture and putting your calendar grid over that or even getting a real calendar page and wrinkling it up then scanning it in to get a nice texture. Then I would overlap your content into the calendar, and fade the image out a bit where your content overlaps it. You could probably make a really neat navigation with some of the day squares even.

Also I would suggest picking a certain color scheme and sticking to it. You have teal in the header, but then scrolling down you switch to greens. Teal yeah could be considered a green I guess but it clashes with the shades you have in the lower half of your site.
You have default blue in your navigation, which I would also suggest incorporating into your header, like I said you could probably do something neat with the day boxes making a nav out of them. I would really drop the default blue and also try keeping all your text to one side of the nav, pick whether you want it aligned to the left or the right, when it jumps from side to side it makes it difficult to read and it's a bit annoying.

I would also suggest dropping the iframe, especially in a long layout like this, it's uneeded. You should try a scrolling div and header footer includes. It makes things very easy to update as well.
To make a scrolling div specifiy a certain height and width on your div and then add this to the style
overflow-y: scroll;
And to make header footer includes check out this link.

Ok moving on, try to get a font that is consistent throughout your site. When you hover over a link the whole thing goes to caps, which is kind of a mess since it makes the content move around, I would avoid doing that and if anything just making a bg highlight or underline it upon hovering over it.
Also watch out for your header type text "C/U Statistics" doesn't fit on one line, I would suggest changing it's size so it does.
Your link text is too light so that I can barely read it against the background, I would suggest a darker color, and try to use a font like Verdana on your main text. It works really well for webpages. Also try to keep your text, if it's in the main body and not a header text the same size, I would make the navigation font larger it's a bit too small and hard to read.
Did I already mention centering the layout? That's a good thing to do as it will make it look a bit more professional and will look nicer for anyone browsing in a really high resolution, like me. lol

Content

Ok finally done picking at the layout so no to the content!
Tutorials, honestly there is nothing here I haven't seen before, but they aren't bad. Icons, yay no celeb images!! Well there are a couple copyrighted characters, watch out with that, but they look nice! It's also nice to see some stock photos too. I see more coming soon so I won't comment on the amount. :P
Ooh goody an opinion page. I like these and reading others opinions and getting their views on life. This is a good way to get viewers involved with the site.
Your about page is good enough, gives some info, it would be nice to see more of your opinions and such on the site. More dislikes and likes, fav movies, music, bookes etc. You have a good start now though.

I think I would change the order of your navigation too, your about page, your viewer content, your debates, etc.
I think I would move your affiliates to a separate links page and also add some non affiliated links there too just for the hey of it. Some of your fav dailies that you go to.
Maybe add a section about how you started your site and why. A little bit about its history and all that.

Ok so my overall thoughts on your site, I think it's got some potential and you have a nice start to it, but I think you need to work on your coding and layout designs. Also try adding more about yourself and info on the site. I would also suggest browsing around some of the sites here and looking for a host. There are plenty of personal domains that will host people for free, I'm sure you could find someone who would be more than willing to do so. Then you won't have to put up with the blue bar on the bottom of your pages.

I would look into trying to learn CSS. It's really great for seperating your code from your content. :) This is an uber awesome site for learning stuff like that. I learned a lot of what I know now of CSS from it. I'd also test your site out in more browsers. Not sure if you do that already or not but I have a feeling you stick to Internet Explorer mainly. You should try out Firefox, Opera, Safari, any of those and see what your site looks like in them, and lastly to check your coding for being valid this is a really handy site.

Good luck on your site! I hope it does well and good luck with your html learning and whatnot. :)

Natalie's Response:
Thanks for your review and the handy links. I'm goingto revamp my site and learn a lot of coding :D

And I'll be looking for a host after I learn the basics.

Also I use firefox, not IE, but my visitors mainly do oh the woes of cross-broswer compatibility.

P.s. Love your site :D
agpolarbear gave it on 5th Jan 2009 and said:
Hi! I'm Alex, and I'm going to review your site. Hopefully I'll be able to give you some good insight. Here it goes:

First Thoughts:
My first impression is a big calendar, on a black background and I'm kind of confused, until I realized it was your header. It is a very nice calendar, although perhaps on your next header give more of what your site is about, and make sure not to use celeb images, as that is illegal. Also, pick a background that matches the layout more. And play around with your CSS until it looks better. In my opinion, I like sans-serif (like Arial) fonts better for the main text. And see if you can get a different Freewebs banner that doesn't go on the bottom of the page; instead on the sidebar. I've seen other sites able too, and it looks more spacious on the screen.

Tutorials:
Your tutorials seem very thorough, although you don't have too many. I really like your favicon tutorial. I also think your tutorial on writing a tutorial was a good idea, because so many people can't write a decent tutorial. The checklist part is neat too. Since you have this tutorial on tutorials, it would be best for you to make more tutorials, so visitors know you have experience with it.

Freebies:
The first thing I think is that there is not a lot here. I know you say you'll add more soon, except perhaps combine your tutorials with your freebies page and call it "visitor" or something of the sort. Your icons are very nice, and look pretty original to me! Love the polar bear one. And people really enjoy stock photos, so it would be great if you had more of that. Try making other kids of graphics too, to gain experience.

Articles/Debates/Stories:
Again, it would be best to include this into the visitors page as well, until you have enough to let it be on its own. And since you only have debates right now, it looks like less by putting "none yet" on articles and stories. Get rid of that until you have them. Very nice having a place to leave comments on the debates. You forgot the "you" in "can you watch," the second to last sentence in the books vs. television debate. with the pets as gifts debate, perhaps put some more positive points, unless you do feel that you are against it.

Me, Myself, I:
You forgot to capitalize your website name on this page. Overall, good job summing up yourself on this page. Not too much, which gets boring, but at least you give some details. Oh, and I love Twilight too! ^^

Contact/ Comment:
Just a basic page. Instead of linking to your email, just give the address, because most people have their own email program to send the email from.

Crumpled-Understanding:
Your buttons are okay. Add a 32x32 one as well, because many people who could be possible affiliates like to link with that kind of button. For your credits, make sure to list the name of what you are crediting, as well as the link for it, instead of just writing HERE everywhere. It's more respectful to who you are crediting. I like how you categorized, though. For your old layouts page, I'm sorry about people making rude comments. It's the internet, so people are not always respectful. It was interesting with all the extra info on the old layout. Also, you have your Affiliates on your sidebar. Why not add a page in your site section as well? You can also write there how people can contact you if they would like to be affiliates.

Anything else:
I scrolled all the way down to the bottom finally and discovered you have a disclaimer. It says in bold on the page: Terms Of Entry. Since those are rules before looking through the whole site, it may be best to add it to the top on the sidebar, maybe under your welcome message and before your navigation, so more people will see it.

Final Overview:
As I have seen from your site, you are a beginner, and you have lots of potential. Keep updating your CSS skills, and try new things. Also, practice with lots of different graphics styles to see what you are best at. It never hurts to try!

I hope that this review has helped you get some ideas on how to work on your site. It's the first review I've written before, and good luck with your site! :D

Liz gave it on 4th Jan 2009 and said:
Layout and overall design
My first impression is...What? Yes, what exactly is your header? It is way too tall and it takes up way too much room your layout should all be centered. Also on your header your site name should be the focal point and it isn't right now it's small and hidden in the upper left hand corner. Your header just doesn't make sense a random calendar some button things and happy new year in a rectangle. Your sidebar is small (it should be 200px wide or more for future reference). The whole first letter of every header is some weird green color is annoying and a "trendy" thing (consistency is your friend!). Also don't use times new roman as your body font! Use arial, vernanda, tahoma ect.
In your "about me" it would be preferred that you speak in complete sentences and don't underline italicize or bold random words please(: Your rollover links are also irritating because they get all uppercase just changing color is fine.
In your pages don't use smoshed up looking unreadable text as a headerD:

Coding
UGHHDFDLNN!!! You have no doctype or even a head or body tag! This layout lacks proper structure I suggest you check out Jem's templates which you can use for a future layout please note the structure of them as well.
Your title tags MUST be in your head tag!!!
Actually, everything down to your css tags MUST be in your head tag.
Iframes? I understand that you are hosted by freewebs but if you ever chose a php host you need to use php includes.

Pages
Tutorials- Your "writing a tutorial" tutorial (this MUST be an article) is very well written, Bravo! Your link button tutorial is a tad too basic.

Freebies-
Icons- Take out all the icons that use pictures from a movie or TV show these are COPYRIGHTED it is ILLEGAL to use them. Some of these seem like pictures with pixel text on them that's it. Edit them a bit use higher quality fonts.
Stock photos- These are very pretty and high quality(:

Articles, ect-
These are kind of short but well written and you have the facts to back everything up.

The owner- Oh wow you haven't been doing webdesign for long at all! Excuse me if I was at all harsh but if you want to improve I've got to be and I hope this review will help you.

Overall- You do have a lot of promise! Get rid of all copyrighted images write more articles, more stock photos(: new layout perhaps? Check your coding as well.

Natalie's Response:
I know the header. Gah! I hate it. I made a nice good one but I accidentally deleted it, I'll fix it soon.

The reason I didn't write in full sentances in the small about me bit is because with div layers you can only make them as long as 2000px, and when they were in proper sentances it made the sidebar have a vertical srollbar which looked terrible.

Thankyou for identifying what should be in the head tags, because no tutorial I've read specifies it D:

As for the text, I don't know what went wrong. I had the right tags for tahoma and for verdana but neither work D:

Thankyou about the writing a tutorial tutorial compliment, I just fixed it yesterday :D

I'll be fixing and deleting most of the icons soon anyway so.. Bye bye bad copyrights.

Thanks :D
Baohan gave it on 4th Jan 2009 and said:
Hi, I'm Baohan and I'm going to review your website. I'm going to be harsh, so watch out!

First Impression: I see a calendar and I have no idea what it's for. If it's your main header, well, I think you need some replacement here. The header itself doesn't look really good and in someway, a little unprofessional. If you own a more professional designing program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I think that you can do better than this.

Coding/Design: Your coding has a little problem as you tend to forget some important tags like <html> and then forgot to close some tags. I suggest you validate your website.

Your design doesn't really impress me. The font that you are choosing is great for a header, yet not for the main content. You can read Lene's on styling text properly. Also, there is a scroll bar on the right which just basically throw the whole layout off because it looks like a grey chunk (you know how scroll bar looks like, they're not really pretty). You can easily get rid of this by deleting the height bit where you set it your content.

You are currently using iFrame which is nice but you should really consider using php include which you can read here (I'm still not sure if you can use it on freewebs). Then, I think that you might want to consider applying for hosting because freewebs doesn't really give you the full feature to a website like a sub-domain does (or a domain). Wait, OMFG, freewebs turned in to webs? I didn't know that!

Okay, a glance at your blog: Okay, new year, the normal stuffs. Wait, at your icon, I was wondering that did you took those pictures? Because there is something called the copyright infringement and it's not pretty to think about it.

Tutorials:

- Link Button: C'on anyone knows how to make a link button and wait, you said that you have experience with HTML? I have been on the webz for 2 years now but you know what? I'm still scared to declare that I know something about HTML. My knowledge is just drop of water in the sea. Here, I think that you are more concentrated on the coding side of making a button here instead of the button itself (you classed it as graphic) so I think that it's better if you move it to the HTML section? BTW, img is a self-end tag and border = "0" is easier than border none right?

But anyway, the button turned out cute enough! :)

- Favicon: Ah, here is something original. Yet, I think that you have mis-placed this tutorial as well. I suggest you making a new category for this, something like "Misc" will do.

- Scrollbar: Oh, come on, people still read scrollbar tutorial? Nobody really uses it nowadays except from piczo users who are experimenting new things. However, a plus for having a quite detailed tutorial. Though, I really hate basic coding tutorial.

- Tip on writing a tutorial: Ha, this kind of cracks me up because a tutorial on writing tutorial is very original. :) Good execution here though I think that you can add more to it. Some few lines will not help much right?

- Hex Codes: I think that you have a nice topic here though your execution is not really good. Jem also have a tutorial on Colour Guide and I think that you can learn from it.

Freebies:

- Icons: Definitely not the best that I've seen because it involves stolen celebrities images and maybe some images that doesn't belong to you.

- Stock: Nice. I think that you have potential eventhough you need a better camera as it's quite blurry.

Articles: They are really your opinion so I'm not going to review this section.

About: Well, it's not really well written as I obviously want to know something about you but you just hid everything. All I know is that you are Natalie and you're 13 (and maybe your birthday). But that's about it. There are nothing else about you. What's your favourite movie? Music?

Your history is okay-ish, I guess. But for a good tutorial page, I would recommend TutorialTastic all the way over Swimchick and other sites of such because it's written from a professional view.

Contact: I think it's easier if you have your form here, with your email address displayed (not linked) because not many of us use Outlook as our mail base and a link to the cbox at the bottom of the page.

C/U:

- Link Me: Some link button back to you which is okay for me. By the way, I should tell you that br is a self-end tag to. That means: <br> is wrong and <br/> is right. Same goes for the img tag and link rel.

- Credited: I think that credit is enough, there are no need for 'ed'. Also, you might want to replace here, here, and here with the name of the site that you got the materials from. I mean, it's more straight forward isn't it?

- Past Layouts: Okay, some history of your site.

My conclusion: I really hate giving bad grades but this is website needs improving. I'm not saying that your site sucks or anything, because I know that you are are new at this. I'm just saying that you can improve a lot more. At this new stage, I recommend you having a personal site with some read-along content first and then advance your site into a tutorial site. Also, getting hosted is another suggestion. After all, freewebs is not good enough for you.

To be honest, I was quite disappointed about your site because from reading your profile on rev.iew.me, I thought that you will own a more developed website which isn't on freewebs. But hey, I hope that the next time I come back, I'll find you understanding more about HTML/CSS and getting hosted.

P.S: If you think that I am being too harsh. Well, I'm sorry. I'm just saying what I think.

Thanks for the help on the coding and I should probably do a lot more learning :D

And no, you can't use PHP on freewebs, and I'll get hosted once I focus on making a proper valid HTML site, gotta crawl before I walk :)

Thankyou very much for my review and please add suggestions if you can :D
