    First impression: Very cute and- I've been here before (it's a small world)

    Layout: Very cute. Makes me think of a cute panda Hansel and Gretel kind of thing. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into it and it definitley payed off. It's also well organized

    Content: You've got lost of content on your site.I like the blog, the visiter content (especially your drawings) and your past layouts (and current one) are FANtastic

    Overall: I have to agree with another reviewer that I missed something about the site: who hosts it, where you got the name (I'm very curious)

    With regards to who is hosting it, the hosting company I am using is listed in the links page as "Hosted by Holdfire". ;)

    Seems like quite a number of people are interested in how I got the site name. Perhaps I will do a blog post about it and link it via the about page. I will think about this. Thank you!

    UPDATED 03 Feb 10:
    3 Feb: I have added a very short paragraph about my website's name and how it got started.

    Hopefully, this will be sufficient. I don't plan to have lots of details about it though. :P

    First impression: it looks very individual and loads very quickly. the colours are perfectly matched, very cute!

    Layout: I love it! Very sweet and very clean and tidy. I like the hovers of your menu, nice! Thanks to your structure 'tree' above each content page, the visitor can easily find out where he has come from. I also like the Twitter stuff at the bottom, nice done! And I love the organization of your recources! <3 And I like the dropshadow links!

    Content: You've got adaquate content on your site, not too much, not too little. The page about your is written very catchy, and I LOVE the library thing <3 The visitor content is also really nice, I love the icons!

    Overall: I have really enjoyed my stay on your site, but what I kinda missed is something about your site (How you came to the name, etc.).. But nevermind, I'm definitely coming back again ^^

    I remove the section about my website (except for the links) during the recent revamp in November last year. Personally, I find that information about me is much more important than the history of my website. I actually want my visitors to read and know more about me, the person behind the website.

    Thanks for the suggestion and comments!

    Hello, I'm Jenny and I'll be the first to review this site using Mozilla Firefox in a 1024x768 screen resolution. (:

    First Impressions & Name
    The first time I laid eyes on the site I loved it. Especially the name: heat love. French is a beautiful language. The colors and banner is cute and creative yet simple. I can't wait to review the whole thing assuming you'll leave me breathless in the end.

    Layout
    Once again, your layout has all the components: simplicity, organization, and creativity. I love the way your blog posts are organized and the drop shadow links. I often see sites using multiple colors and completely failing at it, but you, my friend, pull it off extraordinarily. Though I do suggest one thing: Make the Amour Chaleur sign a bit bigger, so it can catch the viewer's eye immediately. And the 'Latest Tweets' section in the footer is empty. You should add your twitter account onto there or make one if your going to add a section for it.

    About
    The library section is cute, as well as the social networking icons. I absolutely agree with you: "I came to realise that creativity and originality are two of the most significant parts of a site. Designing could be a hobby, interest or just a leisure activity but if we’ve put in effort, even if we did not get the best designs or have the most stunning site in the world, it’s still something we could be proud of."

    Portfolio
    I love your web designs, they're so catchy and cute and simple. XD I don't have much to say here except for the fact your art is stunning.

    Visitors
    You should probably add more premade layout / Wordpress themes seeing as there's only one featured there. Your 'Validating your website XHTML' is very helpful along with the Wordpress tutorials but other tutorials dealing with programs other than Wordpress would be helpful too. Overall the visitors section is very useful and entertaining. (:

    Grammar
    So far I haven't seen a single grammar or spelling mistake. Way to go. ;D

    Validation
    Your website passed as XHTML 1.0 Strict without any errors or warnings. Though you have 51 validation errors in your CSS, so I suggest checking that. I doubt it's anything big, though.

    Overall
    I loved your site, it was brilliant. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.

    My CSS validates for 3.0 but not for 2.1 and it because I'm using text shadows and opacity which I'm not too bothered about.

    The twitter thing should appear but sometimes due to the plugin issues (I think it was some cache bug), the tweets doesn't appear. I'm trying to get the latest version from the plugin author so hopefully it will be fix soon.

    Thanks for the review. :)
