It's kind of long, but I like it. It would be a good domain name, but for a subdomain, it's quite long.Layout
I like the layout a lot! The colors go together very well. The only thing is I notice that the link on the header are not clickable. I saw the notice in the sidebar about it, but for a first impression... the links should be able to work.Content
You have a lot of content and it is amazing. The icon textures are beautiful. I went to download the first emoticon pack, however, and it wasn't the emoticons (it was a layout).Overall Comment
Overall, it's a great site. There are just a few errors that I said above:
- Emotion Pack download was incorrect
- Header links are not clickable
Other than that, the site is great. Keep up the good work!Using Firefox on Windows | Report This?

on 29th Jul 2010 and said:First impression:
I am not going to lie, the reason why I decided to review your website is because of the amazing banner you have. I like your style. The color palette is really good too, because gray, white and pink are always easy to combine and make a good CSS out of it.Layout:
Well, like I said before, the banner is great, and so is the rest of the CSS, I like the font size, it's easy to read and not too big. I visited your DA account and wow, you are talented.The only thing is that I am not able to click the links on the banner, so I am not able to continue with the review (I even tried Internet Explorer, but I had no luck), try to fix that :)

I will do my best to provide you with positive feedback & I will compliment your skills wherever I can!Aesthetics
Kicking off with the first impression: your website’s header caught my eye straightaway when I clicked the link, which is definitely a good thing! The combination of black/dark grey & hot pink is a successful one, even if it usually ends up looking like Avril Lavigne’s necktie. The gods may be pleased though, as your header looks much, much more sophisticated than that. The paint splatters give your entire theme a nice sense of asymmetry and prevents that the rest of the design starts to look generic.
I do think, however, that the font you used for the site’s title stands out a little too much.. Maybe you could consider perhaps trying a font that is more in tune with the rest of the design, or perhaps that would cause it to stand out too little.. Hm, I am not certain!
Although I really like the fact that your CSS is so clean, perhaps adding some more pink would make it a little more exciting? (Perhaps you could make the links change colours when one hovers over them, rather than have them turn a different shade of grey?) That’s also my only point of criticism on your main navigation. I appreciate the fact that you kept it concise with just three links: I just think it would look more interesting if the links changed colour when hovering over them.Blog
Your blog is, currently, more of an update space than an actual blogging space, is it not? I understand that visitors will appreciate you telling them of your updates on your main page, but as this is also a personal site according to your description; I think a more personalised blog would be more interesting. :)
For instance, when I read your latest entry (dated may 26th) I am intrigued by you mentioned that your teacher was “excited” and would be interested in finding more about that: what was he excited about, how did you notice? Did he have a major bulge in his pants or something…? Etcetera. Just some ideas!
Perhaps you could also elaborate more about your relationship with your mother (unless that is something too personal which you would rather not mention in your blog). As your site is fairly new, chances are that your visitor does not know you all that well yet, and surprisingly enough, a real blog reader is interested in getting to know the blogger- so try to get a little more personal. Nothing wrong with a little TMI ;)Content - About: I clicked this link expecting either an about me, or an about the website page. I do not entirely grasp why you did not just merge both the linked pages into one about page and include the extra web related links in your sidebar. As far as I am concerned, the sidebar is for subpages whilst you have placed both of your parent pages in it. I hope that makes sense? (:
About me: First off, let me say: what a pretty picture you have of yourself! You look like a lovely, even if a little angry, girl. I like the fact that you’re open minded to so-called social anomalies; nothing frustrates me more than narrow minded people, so kudos for that!
I understand where you’re coming from when it comes to meeting new people. I went through a phase like that as well thanks to my high school experiences. Plainly said, it sucks, and it does scar someone. I hope you will be able to get past that, because life becomes so much more fun when you can just be outgoing and talk to random people without feeling you have to worry about what they might think of you. Your about me shows me that you are a smart, passive girl (as in not aggressive, even if you mentioned you would like to crush violent people – ha! That’s a great paradox! :D), who is able to look past the boundaries of society.
I have to repeat my TMI-remark, I would like to read more about what you’re interested in: What films do you like? Do you read books? What music genre are you drawn to? I know you are still in school/college/university, as I read something about a test in your blog, but what are you studying? Just to mention a couple of things I wonder about..
Website: First thing I noticed on your general ‘About’ page was your little remark concerning the website name, it made me smirk as, even if I am not afraid that demons live in your website, I am interested in why you chose that particular name for your website.
So you’re mad, huh? I think everybody is one way or another, because we all have small malfunctions and certain opinionated views that make no sense, those things make us who we are and it’s good to be able to recognise that.
I really do not have much to say about the subpages here.. except for the fact that your previous versions all are very nice looking. I especially like version 6 and 4. Too bad the images aren’t thumbnails so I can look at a larger image of the themes, but that’s just me being moany. ;)Content - Stuff: Because I complained about the navigation of the “About” page, I have to mentioned: I really like the way you have laid out the links here! The main link leads to a very clearly formulated t.o.u. page, and all the ‘stuff’ for your visitor is linked; it’s all very nicely organised.
Whilst browsing through this section I am once again surprised by your eye for aesthetically pleasing designs. For instance, your icon textures and especially your wallpapers are nothing short of beautiful.
I clicked the “scans” section half expecting “kawaii anime/manga scans”, as that was the hype back in the ol’ days, but thankfully I was wrong! Those scans are lovely, I imagine one might find proper use for them in a theme or something. I know I would be able to find a use for them!
Oh, and I could not agree more on the affiliates thing! Because of the elitism new website owners hardly get a chance to get their websites out there. They comment like crazy on other people’s blogs and apply for affiliation everywhere in order to get noticed- it is hard, and in a way, like you said: not entirely fair either.Conclusion:
In retrospect I think there is only one thing that, as far as I am concerned, requires a lot of attention. I would love to see you get more personal. Like I said, TMI is one of the most entertaining parts of personal websites, and I think it would be fun if you tried playing with it in both your blogs & personal content. Hence my rating.
Aside from that, I would still like to see a little more pink in the CSS, and you might want to take my advise concerning your “about” page to heart, merge the two main about pages together and add the website related subpages to the navigation.
But all in all, I think you have a wonderful site, especially since it seems to be so new! There’s lot of quality visitor content which will draw your visitor back to your website.
So all that’s left for me is to say: great job so far, and all the best of luck to you and your website in the future!Using Firefox on Windows | Report This?

on 25th May 2010 and said:First impression: I really liked your site when I first clicked the link. The banner is very nice looking and immediately caught my attention. It's not the best I've seen, but I like the simplicity in it. One thing that kind of through me off the whole layout though was the website name. Demonic madness? I'm not really sure that the name and the layout/site purpose go together. The css is nice, albeit a tad plain. adding a bit more pink to it would probably spice it up quite a bit.
Blog: Your blog was free of grammatical errors from what I could tell, which is always excellent. Not much else to say about it, as it seems your website is new and you haven't got very much to say yet. If you have a camera then pictures always make a blog more interesting to look at, and maybe future post could talk more about you as a person (your day, likes and dislikes), instead of just focusing solely on your website.
Content: You have a lot of really good resources, which was a great surprise! I assumed from your blog that the rest of your website would still be pretty empty, but you have plenty of stuff and it's all wonderfully arranged and neatly sorted. Most of it seems to be high quality to! Even though this part of your website has more pink integrated into the css it still looks washed out... it could just be that your current layout doesn't allow for a varied palette of colors. This is a common problem I run into with layout making, just try and make your overall layout more colorful next time.
About: Your "about me" page is a little hard to find. I thought it would be under the "about" link, but instead it was in the sidebar in a small link within a paragraph. I think that the "about me" and the "about my website" pages should be combined, as that's how I expected them to be anyway. On further browsing I realized you did link the two pages together via the side bar, but I think you should just merge them together completely for ease of viewing. This part of your website seems pretty complected compared to your "stuff" section, which is exceptionally well organized. Try to streamline it a bit more.
I hope this helped you out a bit!

LAYOUT
Your layout is simple, which isn’t a bad thing. The header/background image is interesting. However I’m not really a fan of the font for your site name. Maybe it’s just personal taste. I can’t really say it doesn’t match the image. Another thing, I think you should pur your affiliates in the sidebar along with the stats. Or else it’s just a huge chunk of wasted space.
PAGES
Index | You don’t have an introduction. Maybe should put one, or else visitors would have no idea what they’re going to browse through and may lose interest. Also, I don’t think the blog subject should be underlined, since you already have the grey background bar. Good that you switched from Cutenews to Fanupdate though.
About | I always feel this type of introduction is a bit extraneous. I think you should put the owner and website links right under it in fact, and place the stats & affiliates in the sidebar.
Owner | You have some typos here: apperiance should be appearance, completaly should be completely, succeding should be succeeding. The second paragraph is a bit hard to understand, so maybe you can look that over.
Website | The page directed to when clicked on this link should be the site information, since your link says website, people will be expecting it. I think the “link me” and “affiliates” pages should merge into one, and you should write something under “terms” as not everyone understands the license.
Stuff | That’s a good idea to put an updates section. Now that I see you put the terms right here, it wouldn’t be needed under “website.”
Downloads | I’m so glad to see some content that actually has effort! =) Most sites I come across just slap whatever together and try to pass it off as “graphics.” I especially like the first design; perhaps I will use it for my personal site.
Resources | The same thing can be said for this.
Graphics | I like your other content better than the wallpapers, to be honest. Also, I think you should give common resolutions. You have 800x600 and 1024x768 down, but many people use 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1440x900. But more importantly I feel you should separate your content differently. Textures, brushes, actions, scans, color palettes, css codes should all go under resources, while the rest go under graphics. Designs can have its own section.
I’m not really good at ending reviews. But overall I really like your site and the content! I will definitely come back to visit again for updates! Good job. =D
