    Hello, I'm Jenny and I'll be reviewing your site in Firefox, 1024x728 screen resolution.

    First impressions: Well, first of all, a lot of people like me would notice that you have a premade layout from Georgina's site. (: I personally don't really care that you have a premade since as I read in your About section that you're only 8 years old. Wow, I just can't believe that (:

    Site name: Hmm, well I don't really think it's a great name, but it's not really my opinion that counts (; But it's alright.

    Layout: Again, it's a premade. It's not one of my favourite premades that she made but I love your choice though, pink's one of my favorite colours.

    Spelling: Well, when I read your writing, there's no space between the period and the next sentence. That makes it harder to read, but not too hard. Some of your spelling on your pages is wrong (sorry, I can't be specific, I'm not that great at spelling too.)

    Pages:
    About
    I love how detailed your about section is, but perhaps it's a bit too personal? You should remove your friend's last names -.-. No offense, but I really don't get why people so young (like you) have a Facebook account xD.

    Domain
    Wow, you finished the site in one week? That's pretty quick, even for me. It usually takes me about 2 or so weeks to get my websites up - without graphics. What does "I quitted my family" mean?

    Visitor
    The bullets are (no offense, of course) ugly...you should make them transparent and use the pen instead of the brush. I love the variety of colors, though. Your site names are cute, but not that original. I do love the name "Elite Kiss" though. Your adoptions should drawn with a pen as well. What exactly are "Testers"? Code testers are pretty useful, though I've never gotten one/used one xD. I can't BELIEVE that you created a script...I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. WOW. And your only 8 xD. Seriously, wow. Anyways, your HTML basics tutorial is very vague. You should add more like adding a link, or inserting an image.

    Overall: Your site is pretty advanced for an 8 year old. You seriously wowed me with your script. :) So I'll be giving you 3 stars.

    Hi there, I'm Olivia. I'm a bit rusty at reviewing but I'd love to give you my opinion on your new site. As I don't want to repeat what may have already been pointed out below, I'll keep my review simple.

    First of all, I would heartily disregard the previous reviewer's (Vibeke99) comment:

    Put a nicer picture up of you're self. Put some make up on so you look older. You look like you're six.

    It is postively wonderful that you are so young and that you have achieved this website (in English)! I think your picture is lovely and you look super happy and cute - keep it that way!

    As i said before, you should not waist people's time until you're older and can make you're own layouts.

    I disagree with the above comment - you can have a great site with a layout template. Whether you make your own layouts or not is irrevelant if you have good quality content and something to offer the internet! Anyway, starting now is great so you can develop your own blogging style, you don't have to wait until you're older.

    You layout is simple and that's a good thing. Especially since this is your personal site, keep it as a reflection of you, so if you like the simple block colour look, that's great!

    Perhaps on your 'Owner' page you could add more detail ? Why not add an extra page for your favourites, or even an extra page for your ambitions and things you want to do when you leave school. To me they always make great reads.

    As reviewer Act33 said below, be careful how much personal information you give away. Detail is great, but it's best not to put the name of your school on your page for example. As a reader I love finding out where you're from but visitors don't need to know that sort of information, they're more interested in what you like!

    Moving on to content, I see that you don't have a lot and also that your content is inspired by what a lot of other personal sites have. My recommendation is to think about what you have to offer to the internet - what do you feel that you could help others with? You say you love chocolate - You could write articles or reviews on different chocolates, or you could talk about what makes P.E so great! :P For example, girls who love fashion have fashion blogs, guys who love filmmaking have film blogs and as soon as you find your niche you might create something awesome!

    Be careful with competitions - you have to know that you'll have visitors entering and taking part before you start one! You don't want to put a lot of effort into something when no one participates. One of the first prizes for your contest is a 'review writen by you'. Why not review a handful of sites in a Review section so that visitors can see what your review style is like? As soon as a visitor can see what you've done they might want more.

    Finally, I congratulate you on your site. To make me want to visit again you should focus on content, but this is a fantastic start and I urge you to keep it up!

    The first thing i noticed, was that the layout was not made by you. If you want people to take you more seriously, you have to learn to make you're own layout. Its not that hard really.

    You're blogs are quite boring actually. You need to make them more interesting.

    Owner - You are very young and i think you should stick to piczo or webs, as you're website skills are horrible and boring.

    Domain - Its good to have a site map if you have a large website. You only have a small one.

    Visitor - I like how you have a code tester. That can come handy to some people such as you're self.
    Adoptions are pointless. Get rid of them.

    Site names are also pointless. People need to use there imaginations.

    You're bullets are very ugly and are quite large. I don't think any one will use them. Try a lot smaller. 9X9PX

    There is no need to have a huge link in you're main navigation for you're hostess. If she is making you do that, then it's time to choose a different host. Also, her site puts you're site to shame. Do you really want to do that to you're self.

    Over all. You did a good job for someone so young. There is a lot of things you need to work on, such as creating you're own layout. You don't need to do this from scratch. Just find a website template and edit it so it doesn't look like Georgina's pre-made.

    You have 23 errors in you're HTML. It can be hard to fix them all, but as you try, you learn.

    You have 4 errors in you're CSS. Try to fix them up. Its not hard.

    Add some more visitors content After all, that is what you're site is all about isn't it? And as i said before, you're bullets are disgustingly ugly. Make some new smaller ones.

    Put a nicer picture up of you're self. Put some make up on so you look older. You look like you're six. I still can't believe you're only Eight.

    As i said before, you should not waist people's time until you're older and can make you're own layouts.

    Hello Vibeke99!

    If you haven't read what i stated in the description,(I do accept constructive criticism but please don't be too rude for words.)please do not review my site.I want to put up my picture,and that's my problem.
    Before criticizing others' sites,please look at yours.I looked at your site's review,and you got a two star for it only.And please look at your own spelling grammar.
    My hostess did not make me put a link in my main navigation.If I move host,who should I move to?You?I say,no way,even if the whole world had only you as a host.
    Can you keep quiet?My hostess doesn't put my site to shame.If you ask me,I'll say your site puts bloggers to shame!I honestly HATE reviewers like you.
    Why must I add MORE visitor content?My site is my PERSONAL site,not a resource site.I put site names for people just in case.It's my choice if I would like to put site names for my visitors.
    As for coding and validation,I don't care about those.What matters is the front page and that's all.

    I totally don't think your review helped me at all.

    UPDATED 26 Oct 09:
    Plus,I validated your site.You have 92 Errors, 1 warning(s) in your coding and 19 errors in your CSS.Please mind your own site before reviewing others' sites.

    act33 gave it ***-- on 19th Oct 2009 and said:

    i copied the format from the last reviewer credits to him.

    Layout
    I like that the layout is simple. It doesn't hurt or sting the eyes when you load the page. I like that it's organized at this point, and it's just very clean looking.

    Content
    I think as far as the content go your posts generally should be longer. I love reading longer posts from blogs whether it'd be an informational website or just something personal. I also think you need to add a little more information about you.

    Purpose
    I'm guessing this is for you to learn how to do basic coding and all that stuff, but I suggest you be careful with posting "personal" information online. I started web-designing at 9 years old so kudos on trying to learn. You're going to widen your options by doing so.

    Text
    Your writing can do a little better, but it's okay that'll take time to catch up on. Your punctuations need a little work, but that's alright I have my own site, and I don't usually follow the "proper" grammatical way of writing. It's your website right? Write however you'd like as long as your readers can still understand a clear concept.

    Originality
    I think you need a lot of work in developing your website, but that comes with time. I commend you for taking the time to making your space personally yours.


    Activity
    I think you need to work on this site a little more if you actually want more viewers.

    Conclusion
    Not too shabby for someone your age. You definitely did a much better job than I did when I was you age. I definitely give you the rating I did because you still have a lot of work to do, but it's definitely going to improve.

    Suggested Changes
    1. Blog much more often, it'll help your wide range of vocabulary and open your eyes to much more you didn't know.
    2. Post pictures, those usually catches the readers at first glimpse.
    3. Fix your sidebar, readers usually look there first time. They want to know if your blog is interesting or not at first by the sidebar.

    Wow!Thank you for this review.

    But I don't understand this part of the review :

    Could you edit your review and tell me what do you mean?And,like the response to the previous reviewer,thank you for telling me all the changes that i have to make!I will work harder and perhaps you'll change your rating!

    Atomterrible gave it **--- on 19th Oct 2009 and said:

    My first impression is one of simplicity, and nothing about placement stands out obstinately.

    Layout
    The layout is nice, and there are no harsh colors. Everything blends very well, and the background image tile works well. Though you may want to look into something that blends better than a solid color next to horizontal stripes.

    Content
    There is hardly a thing here. I understand that you opened it nine days ago, but why open one for public display and review if it is merely for practice? It is clearly not efficient for social purposes, because you state that you use Facebook. I see only one comment on the entire site.

    Purpose
    It appears to me that this is an introduction for Web design for you. At eight years of age, you are off to a bright start. However, I am not quite sure why you would open your site to public review at this stage.

    Text
    It appears you use a spell checker. You do capitalize the pronoun "I," and also the first letter in a sentence. I commend you here, though you are never putting spaces after any type of punctuation, be that periods, commas, question marks, or exclamation points. You have plenty of time to improve upon this in your education. There is no huge cause to be upset. You are young, and you have done much more than most in regard to Web design.

    Originality
    You purposed to do this at eight years old. I am impressed. Beyond your youth, however, I can not think of any good reasons for anyone to spend time here unless that person is merely granting you a favor.

    Activity
    At nine days old, I was not expecting anything here. This section does not grant anyone points usually for my reviews, so there is no need for heartache in this area.

    Conclusion
    This is a wonderful site for a first-timer, and I am impressed with what you have done. I have seen worse from adults.

    Suggested Changes
    1) You need content. Anything is better than nothing at this point.
    2) Text improvement is always a much for any Web Logger.
    3) The "Hosting" page is another site altogether. I would suggest deleting that, or keep it on the "http://dorine.nekonette.com/" site.
    4) I do not think that every page needs a comments section. One location would suffice.
    5) Your very first post is the default WordPress one. You need to delete this.
    6) On the sidebar, there are eight links that all say "Affiliate" and lead nowhere. You need to delete these or fill the spaces.

    Thanks for this wonderful review!

    I really do appreciate it.And yes,I'm making some content but I am always so busy to upload my files.That's right.I do use a spell checker.Though I'm good in English language(at school),I am totally like a nerd in blogging.

    I just began blogging three years ago,and I started on subdomains just this year.So I understand if I had been terrible in content and all those.

    Thank you for telling me all the changes that i have to make.I will work harder and perhaps you'll change your rating!
