   Hello there! (:
   My name is Ashley, and I will be reviewing your site!
   Before I start, I would first lke to clear some things up:
   I will be using internet Explorer while reviewing your site, with a size 1280 x 800 resolution! :)
   So how about we get started?

   Okay first of all I would like to start with the layout,
   To be honest, the layout is what draws me into a site. I may be just picky this way, but normally the layout is what I base the site on: 'Whether it is really a put together site, that is worth visiting' or if it is just a site that: 'isn't much. Wasn't really dedicated towards, and such.'
   And really all your layout is, is white.
   Also the text is HUGE. I don't know if you intended it to be so, but it is, and /personally I don't like huge text as I don't like having to scroll and scroll and scroll just to finish a paragraph that I was reading.
   Also I feel like just by looking at your site, just from one glance, that it doesn't offer much to the vistor. Maybe consider adding color? Maybe even getting a layout? Whether it is premade or not, a layout is really nice! And there are TONS of sites out there, that offer high quailty layouts for one to use for their site! So I would consider browsing through a few! (:

   Other:
   Also, before I end this review, I just wanted to add a side note.. I like your humor! x) Whether you intended it or not, I like it! I liked how you put: "I live in a house and own several socks" in your about section. Normally I don't care to read peoples "About me" sections as all they do is ramble on and on about themselves, and it is just plain boring, so I liked how you spiced it up and added a bit of humor to it, to amuse your vistors. :)

   Other than that, your website isn't bad! It just lacks a general layout, and such to keep your vistors coming back for more! I don't usually recommend this to ones sites, but I can tell that you enjoy feedback from your vistors, and since your website lacks things for your viewers to do, then just generally read your posts, maybe consider adding a chat box? A place where you can hear feedback from your vistors and talk with them yourself as well! :)
   Also you are active which is a major plus! (;

   Other than that, I don't think your website is half bad!
   Just spice it up, and make it more appealing to the eyes, and I am telling you people will come back for more! :)

   - Your font is huge. I don't know it was intended to be that way, but you should consider making it smaller because it's hard for me to read.
   - Your site is plain, which in some cases that is perfectly fine. But personally, I like to see more color on websites that I visit.
   - You should also consider creating some kind of content to attract visitors other than your blog entries.
   - I think that you should plug the people that comment your blogs, to increase the chance that people will comment because it doesn't look like you get too many blog comments.
   - You should update more often :)

   When I first visited your site, I noticed how simple it was. Although I adore simplicity, your page was pretty much just white. This may be what you have been aiming for, however, it would have been much nicer if you add a simple, pale color to the background. Otherwise, I think it's quite pleasing to the eye--no flashy background/distractions and most definitely no splash-pages. The font is big, but it may be a little too big for most peoples' preference. I suggest to make it just a tad bit smaller, but currently, it's fine just as well. For a first appearance, good job, overall. (:

   Your blogs are very short and entertaining, and I definitely bet that your readers will love it. For much people, long blocks of text is a bit overwhelming to first-time visitors, but considering that the font is big and each blog is quite short, most people will enjoy reading your blogs. Also, good job for blogging every few weeks or so--this will alert your visitors and subscribers that you're still alive. A blog at least once a month will never hurt, and obviously, that's what you're doing. :]

   Your "About" page is very short ... although I must give you credit, it is quite appealing as well. When I read "I live in a house and own several socks.", you instantly left a smile on my face--good job! However, I highly recommend adding a few more lines to let your visitors know who you are and why you're blogging. A little background information is always good, and it's good that you remembered to leave a source of contact so that others may contact you.

   You do not currently have a lot of pages or content--but that's fine! I believe you are still working on your site, and there is some slight improvements you could make. I suggest adding a bit more to the "About Me" page and add a few other pages. For example, why not add an "Affiliates" page? This will not only target your site for more views, but you can also gain a few friends and blog readers along the way. Also, it is always good to leave a separate page for credits--although you don't seem to have much and have all ready included them.
   In my opinion, your site has a pretty decent overall appearance! Although there are some spots you can improve on, I enjoyed visiting. Keep up the good work! (:

   goodwin's Response:

   Thanks, excellent useful review. I was considering a background colour, and some kind of list of links, so that's going to jolly well happen. I've improved (I hope) the about page already. I do sort of need to be a smidgeon less lazy about blogging, I think, really. I'm going to do some of those adjustments. No, really, I am!

   I am Haley, I will be reviewing your website joshuagoodwin.com.
   When I first look at your site, I love the font. Its big, but not to big, so anyone can read this easily even from far away, on a iPod/Blackberry or otherwise.

   I don't like when people get really detailed on the about page so a simple description about yourself is very refreshing. ;)

   Your post are very interesting to say the least because you have many interesting topics to talk about that will draw people in.

   Overall I think your site is great, and there is almost no work needed! In my opinion anyway! :)

   No site is perfect so I can't say your site is perfect but its really good! :D
