    It's got an interesting layout, however it could use a bit more definition - I don't, personally, like floating objects in the middle of the page.

    You seem to be doing a great job keeping up with blogging and such, and I think that you should try and go more into detail about it!

    Otherwise, great job so far!

    Hey, I'm Sophia *waves*

    I'll be reviewing your site, I hope you think my review is fair.

    First Impression:

    Pretty cool, I really like the colors except though you didn't create this by your own. I suggest you make your own layouts, I'm sure they'll be really nice!

    About me:
    Jamie you have so little about yourself! Don't you think other would like hearing more about you? I'm sure you're an interesting person, prove to me that I'm right! Write more about yourself. BTW, I think it's supposed to be "web design" thing not "coding" thing.

    Icons:

    I really can't tell you that the whole "celebrity images are illegal" debate because I myself use them sometimes. Though, not always, because they're so boring now a days! People like originality, you can take your own photographs and make icons of them. make sure you download actions, brushes, and stuff like that. To spice up your icons.

    I think you should cut the icons of your navigation, since it's already on your visitors page.

    Sorry, for the short review, you have a small site. But you said you'll add more content so you should focus on that and on coding your own layouts.

    Good luck<3

    Yeah, I don't think this counts because you're just using a tumblr.com template.

    Hey, I'm Jules and I will review your site from my personal view today. :)
    My screen resolution is 1024 X 768.

    First Impressions :
    This site loads fairly quick considering it is a 'mini-Media showcase of videos, chats, pictures, stories, and the latest news'. I see your using Tumblr for a mini-media site. This isn't the best to use, I'd recommend you take a step up to FreeWebs or even find yourself a free host.
    Is this a showcase or a blog? You've referred to it as both. it is best to stick with one & I'd recommend you stick with showcase. I don't like the name of your site because it is too long & it doesn't sound like a media showcase because it is a more personal title.

    Navigation :
    None. The only other link I can see is to About Me which doesn't look very attractive at all. Make it more obvious, put it above the tag line.

    In a media site it is best to have a navigation that allows people to browse by media type, e.g. video.

    Layout :
    I guess I can't say much about it as you didn't create it yourself. I would choose a different theme as people have to scroll down a lot. I'd recommend the cargo theme.

    Validation :
    Both your CSS & HTML is invalid but I think this is because you are using Tumblr. If you got hosted I could critique your validation & help you fix it.

    About Me :
    I don't understand why there are icons above your about me. You haven't given a description or a reason about them.

    You've given us your first and last name. Take your last name off for privacy & because your young. If you have asked your parents if you can put your last name on there then that's fine. You'll also need to ask your parents if it's okay to post their name too.
    Don't use the word Gay to describe yourself even if you mean happy. Just write happy. Some people can get offended if you use the word gay in a different way which is why I recommend you to switch the word to happy.

    You have a lot of spelling & grammar errors! I'll try and fix some of them up for you below.

    So my name is Jamie Samek, I don't really think age matters, but I am 11 years old :) My life is like a open book that's just beginning and hasn’t reached its climax yet. † I am also a proud Christian †

    I’m pretty much a Pop Media junkie, I read Seventeen Magazine, I'm always listening to all the top chart songs, and I'm always looking for the wins in the pop-icon media world. (AND JUSTIN BIEBER ISN’T ONE OF THEM. YOU STUPID “BELIEBERS”!)

    Anyway, I still live with my parents Sue and Tommy, obviously :) and I also live with my sister, Anita, who had a blog but it slowly faded away just like all my blogs before this one did! :P

    She is a big part of how I got here, seeing that she taught me a lot of what I know about HTML, CSS & Web Designing in general.

    The Reason I love having a website is because I feel like my website is the canvas, and my Keyboard is the paintbrush, and instead of being trapped on a small canvas having to create the perfect picture, I can Step out of my frame to make something beautiful.

    I started web design, when I was 9 on Faithfreaks.com I began to make my own layouts. That got boring, then I found out about Freewebs.com and made many blogs on there. That got old, then I found out about Wordpress. at first it was working, but I got so old, I had used every theme, and so on. then I went back to freewebs, but shortly after, A nice girl named Cathy from indyrock.info (which is no longer her site) Offered me hosting. I took it, but I lost contact with her after she decided to make a new site, it was something like, dollftw, so I went back to Wordpress. After Wordpress pissed me off by deleting all my posts, I found Tumblr and thought it was awesome and Here I am!

    As for my personality, I think the only word that would describe me, is well…Gay! (and YES, I mean Gay as in HAPPY.) I’m always exited, and enthused, and I love my life!

    My think I know so many people, I don’t have the time to explain who they all are so I’ll just tell you their names! (Some of these people I have never met in Person :P)

    Diana, Anita, Tina, Cait, Maddy, Joey, Tori, Alex, Johnathan, Jesse, Rachel, Hannah, Katie, Jennifer, Sarah, Jeremy, Michelle, Justine, Clara, Sam, Hope, Amanda, Kaila, Zac, Kevin, Rachel 2, Micheal, Chris, Casey, Sue, and Tommy!

    Oh My Goodness, D: I’m more Social than I thought!

    Well, that's about it!

    I'm sure there are a few other errors in there put you can always put it through a spell checker yourself & correct them. Or you could rewrite the whole thing.

    Overall :
    I wouldn't call this a mini-Media showcase as most of the things you post are more personal & I don't see any of the latest news posted. If you want to improve you'll need to step away from Tumblr go back to FreeWebs or get another free host. From there I recommend you start learning how to make your own layouts & decide whether you want to start a personal blog or a media showcase. Your only young & most kids your age don't even have a Tumblr so don't give up because as you get older you'll gain more knowledge that will help you to create a brilliant site. I would also change the name of your current site too. Try and add more items to your current site in order to gain the attention of visitors & try and exchange links with others if you want more visitors.
    Good luck with the future!

    pages
    i like the simple color or black over white, its not seen as often now because people are afriad of using just black text over white, but you've made it work to your advantage, the side blue boxes are neat. so as i scroll down, i see that you've labeled what is what, each new entry or blog is something, by the way, that chat with stranger is SOO STRANGE, but soo funny! anyway, the arrow at the bottom is a new way to scroll from newer blogs to older ones, seeing blog and writing sites with all this linking and words on the side, it distracts me because i wanna see all the listings they have but its SOO MUCh, with this, you just scroll down and it tells you right there what it is, video, chat, quote, blog, music, photo, link, i don't see any poems or anime or cartoons stuff, i thought girls were into that stuff..i was...maybe not you.

    impression
    i think it shows that your just here for yourself on here but for those who would like to enter into your INSANE world, can do so free of charge, its not very personalized but it shows that you are writing and keeping this for yourself, its not for people to judge what you should or shouldn't have on here, that's very powerful and i like that, people who put up their personal sites up for reviewing forget that its their site, PERSONAL, so they shouldn't care much what people have to say about it, i guess you just want to know if your sites neat in its simple state, and i think its very neat, even though the design isn't yours, it shows that your using it to its full potential! i guess maybe it doesn't have that amazing look where you see stars in your eyes by looking at the design, its simple and works for you, as for me, i like pictures and color LOL. so i'll give you a decent 4!

    overall
    the site is cute, clean, and savvy i like it as far as i'm concerned, its your site and its not some business or graphic site where people are like eww, why is it like THAT. no none of that, having no navigation was something new for me, but it made this design stand out just as much. i hope you add more chats you have with strangers past midnight.

    errors
    i suck at hide and seek, so if there were any errors, i probably overlooked them, don't care about your grammer or spelling because maybe that's how you wanted it to be, i mean just look at your chat with a stranger, most of your blogs are just you talking ranting and its fine. nothings broken as far as i can tell. ^_^

    Thanks for the nice review! :) I've been getting allot of negative feedback so its nice to see someone break the cycle :)

    I actually do love Anime, (But I prefer Manga) and I like some cartoons like the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and Billy And Mandy witch is canceled :(

    Yeah, Its not meant to be very personal, if I have a story people can relate to, I do share it witch is why I have an About page (The link is right above where it says "Jamie's Too Long For Twitter Blog".

    I do like to stand out so I guess its mission accomplished :)
    Really all I want to accomplish is puttin' a smile on ur face :)

    You didn't create the layout- too bad. I can't judge it, but I'll say the theme looks nice.

    Why is the font on the header aligned way to the left like that? Is it supposed to look like that?

    When you reviewed my website, you stated that my 'about me' page is too short, and yet on your own website, you have NO about me page. I've never personally used Tumblr, so I'm not sure if you can create different pages, but there's no personal info for readers to read. In fact, there's nothing there but 6 posts.

    I really don't think it's enough for me to thoroughly review this website. There's literally nothing there (aside from several blog posts). You need to create a real website so that people can give you a good review.

    I only gave you a 1 1/2 because there's nothing there for me to judge. At least join Webs.com and create your own layout, or find a host.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks for reviewing my site :) I have been doing websites for many years and hosting, freewebs, and wordpress never worked for me, this kinda did so I kept it and sadly you can't create pages but I did create a post with tons of info on me.

    I like the whole anonymous posting kinda thing, but I still thought it was a good idea.

    Yeah :( If I recall, you can;t create your own layout on Tumblr, or it cost extra or something like that so...And yeah the text is supposed to be like that :P I kinda thought it was cute I guess I have bad taste! :P

    I'm defiantly adding more stuff to the site, I post many times a day so.. But thanks for your review. Your honest Criticism is greatly appreciated :)

    The layout is appealing, I like the way the blue and gray contrast each other. There isn't a lot on your site currently, but I'm sure you'll add more stuff later. The main thing that bothers me is the incorrect "to". It should be "too" for both the header and the title of your page. Overall, it's plain and simple. It would be nice to include an "About You" page so the viewer can get a better idea about you: the blog itself just seems kind of impersonal.

    I'm not a big fan of blog sites, so your site doesn't really interest me. I think if you added some other kinds of entertainment for the user, it won't be so plain. Otherwise, blog everyday. XD

    Jamie's Response:

    Oh my gosh D: I can't believe I got that "to" thing wrong! it was like, two o'clock in the morning when I made this site, so Thats probable why, My brain wasn't functioning!

    I was gonna make a about page because its true that stories are more enjoyable to read when you know more about the person.

    Thanks for reviewing my site :)
