LoveTyranny gave it
on 30th Jun 2010 and said:Hello! My name is Chelsey and I will be reviewing your site as of today. (:
Site Name I really like your site name. It's simple, unique and sounds pleasing to the ear. The only thing I could recommend changing is the URL. The ".freehostia.com" seems a bit difficult for your visitors to remember. Have you ever considered a free co.nr, net.tc, .tk or co.cc website? Maybe you should consider that because it will be a lot easier for your visitors to remember than ".freehostia".
First Impression I like the theme you chose for your site. It's fairly simple, but in a way so that it still looks really nice. Are you familiar enough with Wordpress Themes so that you can change the font color? I would recommend making the font slightly darker, because it is a bit difficult to read on the background. Also, you should try changing the link color. Although the links to stand out, they are a bit too bright in my opinion. I suggest you change it to a more settle color that still can capture the visitor's attention.
About Me Your "About Me" page seems a bit short. Although you did include a fair lot about how to contact you and how you would appreciate critique for your work, you should describe a bit more about yourself, so that your visitors could get to know you a little better. Atleast give us a hint as to what your name is (; It probably would be better if you include (atleast) a nickname in your "About Me" section. This way, your visitors will know what to call you when they decide to comment on your blogs.
Poetry Oh my goodness, you have a natural talent for writing. I personally love poetry and writing myself, so it was a real treat to read your poems! They are all unique and sensitive in their own way. How long did you spend on them? You must have put a lot of effort into writing so many of them! Your Poetry page is simply incredible and I am sure that many other visitors of yours have enjoyed them as much as I have. Keep writing! Have you ever considered publishing some of them?
Books I don't really have much to say about this page--it's empty. Instead of allowing your viewers to suggest books to review for you, why don't you review books you've read yourself and review them? The whole point of reviewing books is to allow others to either say, "Wow this is amazing!" or "This isn't the right book for me." When people have already read a book, what would be the point of asking you to review them?
Blogs I really don't get the point of this page. Why would you have another "Blog" page when you already have a "Home" page displaying the same things? Am I missing something? Did you mean to say Blog Archives?
Prose I had to look up what the word "Prose" meant. Maybe you should use a different word than "Prose". However, otherwise, I love this page as much as your "Poetry" page. Your short stories all seem so meaningful ... the more I think about it, the more I think that you should get them published. I'm sure I've already said this--but you have a natural talent for creative writing and poetry. Keep writing. (:
TV Shows This page looks fairly neat and tidied enough. You have plenty of show reviews--that's good! I love how you have a wide variety of both TV Shows and Movies. Your reviews have inspired me to watch some of the shows myself! The only recommendation I have for this page is that I think you should add a little "Table of Contents"-like page where the visitor can click a link and get lead directly the the specific TV show or movie. When you have them all on the same page, it is a bit difficult to navigate through all of them. Keep posting more reviews!
Suggestions Perhaps I am missing it, or perhaps you don't have one--but maybe you should have a page that focuses solely on your website. As in, what is the history of your website? Why did you create it? What started in your passion of writing? Of course, this is not mandatory, however I think that you should definitely add a "Credits" page to your website. This way, you can credit all the sites and/or sources you used on your website. For example, where is your theme from? Where is your hit counter from? Where did you find the pictures and videos for your movie reviews? Etc. Also, you should probably have a disclaimer somewhere on your website stating that you do not own the images/videos displayed on your website and that they are for educational purposes only. Lastly, I think that you should also add a "Terms of Use" page stating that all your writings and poems belong to you and you only. You should state that nobody is allowed to republish/claim your work on the Internet without your granted permission.
Of course, these are all suggestions, but I highly encourage a Credits page, disclaimer and Terms of Use. (If you actually already have these pages and I am missing them, I deeply apologize)
Another little optional suggestion is that maybe you should offer advertising exchanges or find affiliates for your site. Personally, I think your website deserves a lot more attention!Overview Overall, your site is starting off really well! You have lots of talent in the literature category and I am sure that you will continue to receive more and more support from your visitors as your site progresses. Keep adding more content to your site--it is all very interesting! I was very pleased with your site and I will continue to visit it in the future. I have rated your website with four stars--for quality and content. You have a lot of talent, so don't be afraid to show it! I wish you the best of luck for your site in the future and thank you for providing such a wonderful site--it was a pleasure to review. (:
