(Quick Review)

jfc your site is comprehensive. i never know how to review websites that are actually good. that is all.

Posted: 08/29/2009

Ohh my!
I actually ADORE this layout. It's sooo cute and colourful and funky. Awww!
The navigational menu is awesome as well. I can see you've worked really hard with the css as the comments and input/text boxes look really good.
I love the fact the main page only shows snippets of each blog which you can choose to read more about if you wish. This completely de-clutters the site and makes it look less confusing.
The content is also really orderly and easy to navigate. The headings and sectioning make it so easy and I also love the content you offer!
I'm also totally amazed you've managed to make the html and css completely valid. That's pretty hard considering your site looks really complex.
You've completely transformed the wordpress layout and it's amazing

Well done =D

The layout is lovely, especially with the clouds going off in the background. I also adore the sun, you did a beautiful job on the layout. Wonderful first impression there^^.
Looking through your old layouts, I found quite a few that amazed me, for example the confessions one.
Of course, I am going to pick out the few things I didn't like so that you actually get something out of this review :P. I think some of the blends have waaay too many textures in them (of course, thats a taste thing) and look a bit strange (for example the HP ones). Your newer ones are great.
Oh, and another thing I liked: You are not in the standard link classifications like "you, site, me, tutorials..". You have original names :). And you write in proper english, which is great.

Is it just me, or does it load a twee bit slow? Could be that my computer was being a pain.

All in all, you are definatly getting those 5 stars from me

What a cute header, all sunny and bright, I love it.

You have a wonderful blog, and even better visitors content, which is something I love to see in a site.

I know I will be stoping by your site more often, maybe we can even do a affiliation or link exchange, if that's ok?

All in all I give your site a 5 out of 5 rating.

Posted: 12/12/2008

Love the colors and the contrast. The image is absolutely breath taking and I love the organization. Well done. :)

Posted: 11/24/2007

You have such a beautiful site, that I can't even tell you about his content right now, because I am still looking at that pretty layout. Maybe after being amazed I will write here about the content too.

Posted: 10/18/2007

Amazing layout, great navi, spectacular content, but I see you've stopped updating >,< therefore it's a 2, if you come back, tell me.

Posted: 10/11/2007

my first impression of your layout is.. woah! i love your header! and i love the colors, especailly the moon. ;D

Posted: 03/28/2007

I would love to give you an in-depth, lengthy review, but frankly I don't know where to start. Your layout is outstanding, your content is interesting, and you make me want to come back. The only critique I can think of is that your site feels a bit stagnant, between the six week old update on your front page and other little things, like the fact that your reviews haven't been updated in six months. I understand things come up, though, so I don't think it's a big deal.

Posted: 02/14/2007

Great site. The layout is neat and clean and everything is easy to find. Minor spelling / grammar errors here and there but overall a great site.

Posted: 01/08/2007

the layout is great! easy to navigate through & organized. your content really shows that you put a lot of work into your material. keep it up =]

Posted: 12/11/2006

{OLD}
wow, the preview of your layout is absolutely gorgeous! Oh it looks like you've moved. well wonderful job on this one at least! :)

{NEW}
First of all, how delightful! I love the snowflakes and flowers and moon and buildings all together in the header image. The brown perfectly showcases the beauty and vibrance of the image. Pink and brown are my favorites, and the blue and green look great with it. Basically, you've designed your website beautifully.

I like how you organized your portfolio and the way the categories are set up. I feel like I'm in a candy shop with the pink bullets and those snowflakes. Maybe it's the snow outside my window that is making me gush over what you've created. And I like the idea of different seasons, like the other layout with the sun.

Posted: 11/30/2006

That upper image reminds me of a more Web 2.0-y version of a puzzle I just bought. :) It's a very pretty image, and I wish I could create things like that. The layout's all clean and organized, too, which I appreciate.

Neato, you offer site reviews! I was just blogging yesterday about how I'm looking for more WPR's to review my site. :) I think I'll submit.

Posted: 11/25/2006

Holy shitsauce, Batman!

Your layout is... Amazing. It's the most unique thing I've seen in all my years on the internet.

I have NEVER given a five and probably never will again. Hands down, your site is spectacular. Bravo.

Posted: 11/25/2006

I absolutely adore your layout. It's beautiful. The colors and the way it flows. The only think I would change is maybe have a background. It just seems so empty outside.

I love your section about you. You went into depth which isn't something most people take the time to do. Which is a shame really, it's your site, you should have a lot about yourself on it, I think.

I must say that I truly enjoyed reading your thoughts. Especially about websites and colors, I never thought of it that way, and I myself have scrapped many layouts because I felt that the colors just wern't flowing.

I seriously love your site.

Posted: 10/23/2006

First of all, your layout is BEAUTIFUL. I was amazed. Your coding is nicely done, everything's neatly organized, as well.

Your blog was really fun to read, honestly. The same can be said about the rest of your website, too! I'll definitely keep my eye on this website.

Posted: 10/01/2006

Seeing as there are soo many reviews already of this site, I shall keep mine short but sweet.

Beautiful, unique layout in wonderful colours with some cool content also.

Your layout is amazing!! I love the cartoon design, it's very original and ooh! your brushes, I must download the next time I have chance too. I'm also interested in the articles as well. You have so much talent, your whole site is so wonderful and awesome. Will be bookmaking this one for sure!

Posted: 07/31/2006

IE6 + HigRes. hehe
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the layout! Beautiful and poetic. Just perfect. I also love the guestbook. Every single section is just WOW-ish. Love it, I cant seem to say anything else but perfection. *BIG ROUND APPLAUSE*

Posted: 06/11/2006

your layout is really beautiful and the brushes you offer are awesome. i'm downloading some right now!!

Posted: 06/08/2006

Amazing site! You don't come across too many of these lately. I'm usually not a big fan of one column layouts but your layout is beautiful. Your content is also really nice. I love organization and your site is definitely a good example of this. The only suggestion that I have is to change the navigation links to something that better shows the category. But I do like how you did that. It's really creative. Excellent site, really. I enjoyed visiting a lot.

Posted: 06/05/2006

I really love the header and am curious as to how it was made, whether you drew it out or found the images... it's very nice. I don't think that I like the fixed background behind it all... I think I just don't like the horizontal lines in contrast with the verticle ones going from the navigation to above the header image, if you see what I mean? Plus the colors are sort of off to me... maybe if there was a gradient in the background instead of the solid lines I would like it better.

Navigation didn't really help me a lot, which is slightly annoying. I like knowing what I'm clicking into. But when I click it, I like the pages I get because they're well organized. You should add more yearnings, that's a very good idea for a page and something I find very interesting, the things people want the most in life. I ignored essence, and have never found a point in any of the things you put there, but obviously I can't look down on a site for having it just because I don't like it. (I just skip those sections always.) I really enjoyed your artwork and I think you do a phenominal job, but it took forever to load each page... I think it would be quicker if you went from the thumbnails to the popups so it didn't have to load a new page and the full image. Like it took so long to load each thing that I'm going to have to come back because I couldn't handle waiting any more, no matter how nice it all is. (Although if that's your trick to make visitors return... it's well done, heh.) I thought that your thoughts section was a little sparse and unoriginal, as I've seen similar rants on many other sites, but if that's what you think it takes to get people to start making better sites carry on. The tutorial for the butterfly was sort of cool, but I wish you had the images in it the entire way... I know that takes awhile to load, but clicking is so not fun...

But basically your site rocks. While it's not perfect, I'm still giving it a 5 because you obviously put a ton of effort into it and you obviously have graphic skills. I think you could prune some of the pages, but I always say that because I think websites should only have the creator's best work and as little other stuff as possible (that includes useless information about the site and little rants that aren't new to anyone.) Keep up the good work though, you have some amazing stuff nestled in there.

Posted: 02/05/2006

First Impressions: The layout is very pretty. The text is spaced perfectly, and although the "title" of each of the blogs slightly doesn't match the background color. You can only see it in the high-resolution great-color monitors. The side-part of this layout is absolutely gorgeous. The butterflies are nicely done, and from past experience, I know you have a tutorial on how to make butterflies like that, which I'll have to check out later. The blogs are short enough to not lose people's attention, but long enough to give people a feel of "you". Your layout repeats very nicely.

Content:
Spirit: How it's nicely organized on this page is an extremely good plus. I like your "Web Design and Designing history" thing. It's very thorough and doesn't look like "A Tale of Two Cities" because of length. Nicely done. Your awards are nice. Your goals are very nicely put. Not very many of them, though. On your "Contact Me" form, though, I'd put your e-mail addresses and such, for people who don't want to use that form.

Essence: I like your "About" page. I'd suggest bolding the more important facts in that paragraph so people don't need to read the entire thing to find a couple bits of information. I like "Updates", except it kindof confuses me. I don't really see the need for this page, I Guess. I like the questions, but people are always. The guestbook is *very* pretty compared the most guestbooks. Your reviews are nicely organized. I like your link buttons, especially the first one. The second one, the text just takes it over, making it look very uneven, and on the third one, I just can't see the "Liberta". I'd probably not list all of the credits down liek that. Probably just list them with commas. Otherwise, it takes up a *lot* of space. The Disclaimer is nicely written and seems to cover everything that needs to be covered.

Inspiring: I'd suggest making different thumbnails for your blends page. The previews you have right now make your blends, no offense, look really crappy. Your blends are very nicely done, and it's sad to see the thumbnails making them look so bad. The doodles are cute. THe thumbnails, once again, look crappy, but they look better than the ones on the other page. Your layout images aren't working, although the previews are. You may want to make a note on the "Others" page, that some of them are wallpapers. I have a couple of these wallpapers saved from before.

Thoughts: I like the "Hotlinking" thing that allows people to comment on it. Good job. On the "My Website Isn't Good?" part: As for your splash pages, I'd probably also add that many visitors are turned off by splash pages, especially ones who aren't webmasters themselves, and will just click straight out of the window. On your "Browser Compabtibility" part, you have "Mozilla" and "Firefox" listed as two different browsers, which they are. Mozilla makes Firefox, like Microsoft makes Internet Explorer. Same browser. I like the rest of your articles, though, and I can't find any issues with them. I like your "Site REviews" page, but why do you post Tres-Chic's review and no one else's? Is she the only one you've ever reviewed? Is there someplace to apply to get a review? If there is, you should probably put the link under this catagory.

Visitors: I like the Visitors section, but like I said above, I'd put the "Reviews" section probably in the "Thoughts" section. I submitted for a review, and added your link to my "Reviews" section. The brush previews are VERY nice. I love them. And your smilies are adorable, too! The layout templates..Nothing to say there, since it's not really done. The "Adoptables" are adorrrrable. I'd adopt them, but I really have no place to put them. The avatars are beautiful. Well, most of them. I really like the "Love" one that's in the middle column. Your tutorials are thorough without seeming scary. The Butterfly effect is *definately* original, so keep that up. I've never seen that gravatar tutorial either.

Final Words: Sorry for the short review, but I just can't find much to say about your website; It's so nicely done! Definately a five and keep up the great, original work.

i love every bit about it!! yeah i know, not that helpful, but hey! you don't need more help! you're the beeessst!! <3<3 :D

Posted: 01/02/2006

I don't particularly care for orange unless it's acdcompanied by black, but that doesn't take away from your score.


I really like how it covers the whole page, top to bottom, the beginning of the blog not starting in the middle or anywhere else. :-)

I love the leaf that appears when you rollover the top links, that's very spiffy.

Content-
I TOTALLY LOVE THE BRUSHES, they are FABULOUS. execpt, they are photoshop CS, and i only have 7.09, so i can't use 'em, which is too bad. I enjoyed the wallpapers, my new desktop has the palm tree one! The avatars were nice, although I only recognized a few people in them.. 2 people from harry Potter were all i saw. THe ones without people were beautiful though! I also loved the tutorial about the butterflies, I will definatly try that out :-D

Posted: 01/01/2006

First Impressions/Layout: I\'m not a real fan of orange so you would think that I\'d dislike your layout; but I don\'t. There is something about the way you put it together that shows you are a great webdesigner even though it is so simple. This is the right kind of simple however - my screen is not overcrowded with graphics but the ones you do have are very stylish and make up for the fact that there is no top header image. The butterflies are beautiful. Your site loaded quickly and seems to be optimized for all screen resolutions. Coding: I love valid coding. My site isn\'t entirely valid because of a couple of devilish dollmakers that I can\'t make valid because it stops the code from working. Valid XHTML strict is something that I could probably never achieve - I\'m still at transitional. However, on your CSS it may be valid but you have a lot of warnings - you may want to fix them because they are really simple errors. Of course, your coding looks excellent and I now feel very inferior to be perfectly honest! What I hate about XHTML strict is that all the links open up inside the same window; I hate having to right click and open it up in a new one. I\'m not going to \'review\' your blogs as such because they are personal. However, I felt as if you spoke mainly about your website and hardly anything about yourself. Blogs are meant to be for both. You speak about things you do, not really about yourself as such. There\'s nothing wrong with that, I\'m just a very nosey person, ha ha. Spirit> I find your writing very hard to read for some reason. It\'s not that any of your spellings - as yet- are wrong, but you seem to right more stilted then fluently. I think you switch tenses whilst you were writing in your Online History but because I am less from perfect with my English I won\'t criticize you. Then I found out that English isn\'t your first language - Wow. I\'m really impressed by you! My personal record was that I change my site layout in 12 hours after I put up a new one. I think you should change it to \"...changed my site layout in 12 hours...\". Now I realise that I have actually reviewed your site \'Confessions\' before for as a practise review for Honest Truth Reviews. I think I was a reviewer just as you left. Incidentally, if you want to see it you can on : http://www.strawberrykisses.designc razy.net/htrsample.php I think on your \'personality\' page you need to change \"nerve\" to \"nerves\" - bottom of the second paragraph. I think \"this\" on the top of the third paragraph should be \"these\". I\'m not criticizing your English because I know it is not your first language - I\'m just trying to help point out anything that may help. I loved reading your \'personality\' page because I find in their biographies a lot of people talk about posessions, people around them, their hobbies but never themselves or their personality. Your likes - are in so much detail! I agree with your love for Harry Potter and hate of dentists. It is extremely well written as is everything else in this section, there are just some grammar errors to note but enough to skip over. I don\'t want to carry on correcting grammar because I am less than perfect at it. Essence> You will soon need to update your disclaimer after the new year. The copyright will need to be changed, just in case you forget ;). I have nothing else to comment on, this section is very organised and well done. Inspiring> You had pop ups on this part. It might be considerate to put a little note or warning because I have all popups disabled on Firefox and I really hate to change my settings. Your doodles really appealed to me and they are very cute-I\'ve never had any patience to create such things. All of your layouts are beautiful and although I see no real progression because they are all so good there is some subtle progress. However the file sizes have gotten smaller so you do appreciate the use of accessibility. Whilst I was viewing your site the background colour changed from orange to white on this section. I\'m not sure if you\'re doing a layout change or this is a coding error....or it could just be my computer. I liked the \"other\" section best. Your blends were really slow loading but I understand that that cannot be helped other than compressing them, which sometimes usually loses quality.

Sorry I have to stop reviewing now but I'll edit it and continue later on ;).

I thought this site was amazing. It is well organzied and the layout is gorgeous. Great job on the site. I think I need to add you to my favorites. :)

Posted: 12/27/2005

Oh wow, your layout blew me away! The colors are so fabulous! I do not like the repeating website name in the right border though. I think it should just be a solid color border. The image that shows up when you hover over the link is a nice little detail.

The section about yourself is very nicely detailed. Your style of writing is easy to read, which is awesome. I love your artwork and essays or whatever you want to call them.

Overall your website is excellent and the only thing I don't like is that darn right border. xP

Posted: 12/19/2005

That thumbnail for your site caught my eye and I thought I had to see it. Anyways, the design is very unique. Although I don't like how you placed your site title on the side as a border. For me, it makes it uneven. At first, I even thought "Chirstmas Shopping anyone?" is your site's title. Anyways, I'm using Opera and there's some space at the bottom of the layout. I don't know if you meant for that space to be there but it looks awkward and cut off.

Content-wise, you have a lot of writings there other than your blog entries. I liked reading your opinions on the thoughts section. Nice job.

Posted: 12/19/2005

Oh how I love colourful layouts, especially well-designed colourful layouts. And well-coded colourful layouts. I am jealous.

I am also jealous of your ability to take general content and put your own twist on it to make it seem completely fresh.

Your 'Thoughts' section is a highlight as I love reading others opinions... and your web related thoughts are nothing short of helpful. Well done!

Posted: 11/23/2005

a pretty layout.. simple shapes turned into a beautiful heade!! good job!!!

Posted: 10/17/2005

Your artwork and layouts have surpassed previous levels so many times, you never fail to surprise me with something new and exciting every time!! Your excellent design skills are the highlight of the site. Aside from that, you have awesome content (though more tutorials would be great). I know that school is keeping you busy, but I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting you to update! Take care.. x

Posted: 09/11/2005

I just wanted to take a closer look at your site because it was one of the few who didn't have a girl/celeb whatsoever on it... and I waited for it to load and when the header suddenly appeared... I just thought... WOW...

The colors of the header are AWESOME... and it's really great... the only thing I find a bit strange is the writing above the F where it says CF... it seems a bit "turbulent" if you know what I mean XD

You write a lot about yourself.. which is great and very interesting... and you have plenty of content for your visitors... which is really great aswell...

Apart from that you're perfectly valid... even with strict.. realllllllllly great and double thumbs up from me =D

I considered giving you a 4 because of the header stuff (the turbulent thing) but after I've seen all the content etc I give you a 5 because it's great :)

Posted: 08/14/2005

Hi Dayna! I just noticed that I haven't given you a review, huh? The new layout is gorgeous, I love the header. The colours of your sidebar are really pretty too, pink and orange remind me of the Dunkin' Donuts logo. Mmmmmmm.

My complaint is, um, the background's too green? Your content area is already green, so especially when I scroll past the sidebar, the pretty bright colours from your header does not continue throughout the layout. Not a big deal, but I want to say it anyway. =P

I love the "..." as the "more" links in your sidebar. Your sidebar is also very neat and short, I should follow suit, actually. ^^;

And you know that you inspired me to use WP pages for my site, too! It's not all done yet, but really, things are so convenient now, not needing four windows open at once (Windows Explorer, Firefox, Dreamweaver, FTP program) whenever I'm editing pages. Making my plugins and theme pages writable also makes it so much easier.

But anyway, to Spirit. I love how your list bullet changes colour when hovered, the only problem with that is, as I discovered recently, is that it takes a couple of seconds of hovering before the hover image is downloaded and shows up. What I did for my site was to make the two images in one image, one on top of another, with a good amount of transparent area between them. (In case I have really, really long lists.) Then I just control the rollover with the background-position property in the CSS.

Your writing style is very nice, easy to understand and pleasant. The gifts and awards page is neat, with uniform thumbnails.

Essence. I have nothing much to say, everything is neat and organised. I noticed that your link buttons don't have their width and height specified though, making the text below that section move lower and lower as more images are being downloaded. It doesn't take much to add width="88" and height="31", does it? ;)

Oh, I noticed that on the links in/out page, the last link has a comma too. That's probably because everything is controlled with WP, so I guess you can't do anything about that? "Please do not direct-linked them." I think it's "Please do not direct-link them." Present tense.

Inspiring. I've never been a big fan of "blends", but yours are beautiful. I usually dislike them because everything is mushed up together with a bunch of brushes on top, making me not recognise any objects or people in it. Yours are not only neat (I've said that word so many times already!), but they have harmonious colour schemes that give a certain mood or tone.

Oh, and specifying the size of all the thumbnails, just like the link buttons would help the loading of the pages, too. The images will stop shifting to the left as the others are being loaded.

Thoughts. I like these articles a lot, and agree whole-heartedly on some of your opinions. "My website isn't good. Why?" would help a lot of new webmistresses and webmasters, I'm sure.

Several of the articles say "An extract from one of my article." on top, but I think the proper grammar is "An extract from one of my articles." with an 's'.

Visitors. You have very nice goodies here, I especially like your smilies. The tutorials have been very helpful to me, thank you very much for writing them.

I think that's it. Oh, I hardly even complained about anything. Just couldn't find anything else, I suppose. =| Overall, really lovely site with helpful, interesting content. Congratulations!

Posted: 07/23/2005

DAYNA , your a css MASTER.
then your layouts,simple yet ELEGANT :]

love it love it !! *kiss the screen* i can stare at your site FOREVER.

Posted: 07/12/2005

I've been to this site lots of time, Dayna. I commented for your blogs too haha.

Anyways, I love the layout design. It's green and I love green. All the colors for textareas, links and headers seem fine to me but I have one thing I don't like about the links. On your navigation, there these flowers that are bright green and they change when you hover over it. I don't like that bright green. The gray hover color is fine though.

Your avatars in the vistors section are really pretty and your tutorials are helpful too.
In your art gallery, your art its beautiful. You are S-U-P-E-R talented. I'm jealous. XD

Once again, congrats on your move to a new host.


Posted: 05/28/2005

I've reviewed you before, so I'm going to start reviewing from right where I am in the visit this time ; p your trip to hanoi! I love this photo gallery. I actually want to visit it looking at these pictures and reading your short description of your impression of Hanoi. I wish so that you would use real thumbnails instead of height and width tags, it took a while to load even on my high-speed DSL connection because sometimes things just don't go as fast as the 49.99 a month they claim....

The art section is quite full, I love it. You have such a 'soft' style in your digital work. It's very lovely. I like your internet-ettiquette type pieces, however I did want to point out that 'kinda, gonna, and cus' are not -internet- slang, they're mostly Southern USA slang which are now (with perhaps the exception of 'cus') defined in the dictionary. We have accents (i'm from the south) and make our contractions 'softer' than what people in the north do, and now they've become acceptable alternatives.This is a very extensive section, and I appreciate it and intend to read through all of it : ) I love seeing these for some reason.

The only problem I found on your site was the non-thumbnails... otherwise I didn't come across any broken links or images. You did a very nice job. Your site is gorgeous and interesting.

Posted: 05/14/2005

Love the layout, there are a few things that I might change but more on that later.

Why do you have a rotating quote in your blog entries? Wouldn't it make more sense to set it up so that you could add a quote that coincides with every entry? It may take a little bit of time depending on your journal application but I feel that if you're going to have a quote in the middle of an entry it should have something to do with that entry.

Now that that's out of the way, onto your layout. Generally speaking it's great. It's very beautiful, and you've made nice use of white space so that everything doesn't feel too cramped. I might change the size of the image and change the sidebar colour a little lighter but that's about it for the actual apperance. I'm normally a stickler for layouts by the way.

Still you have some things that could easily be changed to allow for more accessability throughout browsers, mainly IE. To center your layout in IE, center the text of the body tag (then override that for your container). To allow for the li:hover you have around your site try looking into this tutorial: http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/cssh over.html . Lastly for your links you want want to try a "sprite" preloader found here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/ sprites/. You can easily use this technique in your CSS by adding a background to bother your non hover and hover links, switching between the top half (which would be transparent I'm assuming) and the bottom half which would be your current image.

Since your a person who liked valid coding, I went through all your pages and found no errors. However header tags are generally used for all headers (For your sidebar as well) and they show up in sequential order. The h1, then h2 not h4. Both things will not show up on the validator (XHTML 1.1 might) but are common practice and help out visitors who may be veiwing your site by other means (PDA, text-aonly browser, ect..)

Not a lot to say, about your content. It's perfect the way it is. And it's all organized in a neat and easy to read fashion. Well done.

EDIT::// I have IE 5.5, that may be why there is a difference.

For some reason (the 56k modem?) the images took forever to load. But I waited, basing that on the screenshot. It was worth the wait, especially since the actual content is viewable while the images load. You have obviously put a lot of yourself into the creation of this site. I like that you call the site info spot "essence", along with my partiality (is that an english real word?) to your navigational theme in general. All of the following elements are present: plenty of information about the author, various types of art, great design.... a lot to explore. There are some spelling/grammatical errors, but I'm sure you'll catch them. Keep up the grand work. P.S. I like that your "dailies" only include a few people links, with the option to view more links out - instead of a 100 links long 'blogroll'. It leads me to believe you actually visit those "daily" links. That's fantastic ;)

Doesn't look really appealing. Colors hmm a little too light. Maybe not suitable to my liking :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Overall it looks serene. I like the navigation. But somehow all ur designs look almost the same. Ur art is nice though :) create more :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

I've been visiting your site for awhile, if anything. Your designs are always so polished, but they basically seem the same. There's no real deviation from the vein you've been going in for awhile. Same applies to the current layout.
Although, I would have made the mouseover on the navigation bar a lighter shade of blue as opposed to nearly blending into the background.

Now, I always thought this was funny. In the sappy Piano story, the following line has an error: "I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Bobby said that..."

Anyway, perhaps I'm a wee bit bias to your site and all, since you joined my clique Stockholm Syndrome and I'm picky about members, but I enjoy it muchly. You make a mark for yourself, and it's noticable, so that's saying a lot, mmkay.

Posted: 05/12/2005

I have already signed your guestbook, but I said that I visit your site often and always love your layouts. Nice content! Keep up the good work!



Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the simple layout, and the colours are easy on the eyes. Simple. yet not too simple.

The navigation is very well placed, howver I dislike the hover - as on my computer it takes a while for the pale blue to load again.

The content isn't that impressive, there isn't much there.

But overall - good.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Design: Overall, an extremely well designed site. You've kept the layout simple and tasteful, and the colour scheme works very well. It's subdued and calm without being too boring, and the tulip photo (besides being gorgeous) works very well to add interest and brighten the page. A small suggestion I'd make would be to not dither the brownish-pink colour (the one underneath the site's title), as the pattern from the dithering is actually quite noticeable.

Usability/functionality: The navigation is well-placed and clearly labelled - so clear, in fact, that I don't think the "navigation" header is necessary. Your text size is small but very readable, and the margins help to define and separate the content. However, I would suggest creating more contrast between the background colour and the text colour - it's not exactly difficult to read, but it could definitely be easier.

Coding: Excellent XHTML - I'm glad to see that you've used the strict doctype. Not only does it validate, but for the most part you've also separated structure from presentation. My only suggestion would be to use paragraph tags instead of line breaks in your entries, as they're more structurally correct.

Overall, an excellent site.

Posted: 05/12/2005

The graphic is lovely, the only criticism being that there's some quality loss around the site title where the brown goes a bit murky. I'd like to congratulate you on giving a new twist to the whole 'calming colours' & flowers thing that's going around. I, for one, love the feel of a darker approach.

I didn't quite understand why 'thought & opinions' had 'doodles' listed under it. I know that there are a number of interpretations of the word 'thought', & a number of ways to delineate them, but it still felt a tad misleading. In your last link here you've written 'A good web site'. In the interests of consistency you should probably capitalize that phrase to match the rest of your navigation (yes, I totally noticed that, haha). I enjoyed the way you write, and that you refrained from listing bands & movies. Hurrah!

I personally took no interest in your visitor content (things like the read 'True Friendship' for example), and I was rather disappointed by the lack of variety here. Some of it even fell into the stereotypical vain you seem to despise (say, an icon of Avril Lavigne splattered with brushes). Well, a lovely site nonetheless. 4.

Posted: 05/12/2005

the layout is simple, but gorgeous, it looks elite. the hover on the navigation fits brilliant. whoa, I love your icons! awesome site, keep it up

Posted: 05/12/2005

Wow. Nice content, good art (I'm an icon whore) and it *gasp* actually works! In FireFox too! Although it's a bit too angsty for my taste, I love it. Good job!

Posted: 05/12/2005

Very nice design. It's pleasing to the eyes, everything is in sync & it represents a classic beauty really. The colors you used go wonderfully together. I love the pink, red & brown, very unique. The background is also very nice & it goes well with the layout. 5/5 on the layout for sure.

Navigation is clear & tidy, a major plus. I like the rollover image effect, it's a nice touch & adds that special something to the site. It's clean, simple & serves its purpose, which is wonderful. 5/5 on that as well.

I must say the little quotes of wisdom you have before each of your blogs is ingenious. That's something very unique & it tells me just how deep your thoughts & personality really is. You blog often which is also a major plus, good job. Your blogs are very well written & interesting to boot. Your content is very nice also. You included information on yourself & that's a plus. I really enjoyed looking at all of your artwork, it was really well done, great job on that as well. I was a little disappointed on not seeing some photos of yourself/friends/family on the site, but I guess you most likely have a reason for not posting photos on the site or else you would have had some. It's no biggie so I won't deduct any points there. It's just a personal preference of mine to be able to see some photographs. :) You've guessed it 5/5 there too.

So all in all I loved your site. From the layout to the blog & to the content, it was all very well done. The coding was also spectacular. It was neat, tidy & well done also. Good work!

There was just one little thing that was showing up a little wide on Internet Explorer. The blog section was having some words cut off on the left side so you might want to look at that. The other thing I would suggest in your section about you, on each of the inside pages having a (« back) button so that it's easier to return to the previous "about you index" page. So other then those two tiny things, the site receives a 5/5 from me. Wonderful work done hun, keep up the great job! :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Ah, first impression has me very taken with your site. Very pretty tulips, the whole floral theme is great. I like the background texture too, elegant. The green/brownish color seems a bit off, though I'm just picking at straws now.
The menu is gorgeous. Not only does it add to the look of the site, it's functional and easy... no complaints there.
After going through your entire site I think I could gush for hours.
Beautiful site Dayna. 5/5

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the layout to this. So simple, yet so complete. It's a wonderful site.

Posted: 05/12/2005

nothing to point out really, I love your website! 5/5


Posted: 05/12/2005

Okay. Why are you here?

Seriously you don't need any reviews to tell you that you are one awesome person. Trust me, you have amazing skills with graphics and your web skills are awesome. No one needs to tell you that, I am pretty sure you already know. The header is really soothing and the colors are just so great. Your choice of words are interesting and really give you some feel of whats going on. I can't tell you much. Just that you have one heck of a way of getting your ideas out there. 5/5

Posted: 05/12/2005

I like the chosen words around the site. I can tell that your a very creative, literary person. Although the layout picture isn't engaging, it's pretty and relaxing. I like the soft colors of the site and the layouting is well done. I also admire your blogging layout with the quotes. That's unique. It's very professional, which isn't necesarily a bad thing, but it's hard to get so worked up and WOWed by it, cause it's quite common here and there...if you know what I mean. But your art is lovely. I especially like your fallen memories one and the hermione/draco one. It's pretty.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Simplicity is cool and if you want it as a literature site, the whole set-up is just perfect. It's also unique and calm to the eyes. The layout will make you focus on the content. And my favorite part is that your site is Validated!

Content is so one of a kind! Writings of people are really entertaining. But I think you need a little tweaking with the sidebar format because it's kinda common. Other than that is great!

Posted: 05/12/2005

Wonderful layout, really wonderful :) The colors are well matched and it looks really professional, and you also have alot of good content. You shall be proud of your site ;)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Hey there! =) Ooo professional looking site. Your "screen cap" is a little iffy though. I suggest just a regular screen capture for ys.nu - so that it doesn't resize funny. Anyways! On to the review.

First Impression: Like I said - very professional looking, looks good in both IE and Mozilla *claps*. I love the earthy greens! I've always been a sucker for green - especially when it is used properly. Great job. I like the mix of modern photo manipulation on older victorian looking patterns and pictures. Good work! =)

Layout: 1) Design - Very nice use of two columns, and the background adds an originality to it that makes it even more appealing. The way you've made it so simple to understand is excellent. 2) Navigation - Easy to find .. and you have original names for them! Yay, finally. =) One little nitpick - your navigation links are in the order "Life, Destiny, Soul... etc" and your sidebar has "Destiny, Life, Soul... etc" - but I really like how you matched your headers on your sidebar to your navigation. =) Very nice! 3) Other - at the bottom of your pages you've copy and pasted a piece of your layout, or so it seems, which looks good. But I'd suggest taking a part that didn't have the layers on top etc. Just have it the same darker brown/green. It would pull the site together better at the bottom. The colour choices you have incorporated into your design are great. =) VERY nice.

Content: 1) Main Page - Whoa.. I just realized your quotes change on refresh. o_O I likes! =P Anyways your blog is well organized and interesting! I like your comment links, they blend in really nice - are subtle yet stand out enough so that I don't have to search for them. And I like your sidebar - but I'd suggest switching Destiny and Life sections. 2) "Life" - Er... lol, I guess I already talked about your blog =P I also like your archive section, very nice and simple. 3) "Destiny" - Nicely done! No apparent broken links. I like the thumbnails you have made for your awards =). Some grammar errors... here's a few:

- About
- "a personal site own by me, Dayna" Own should be owned.
- "interactive stuffs" Stuffs should be stuff.
- "and brushes used was from" Was should be were.
- There are also quite a few sentence errors on this page, you may want to proof read it a little bit?

- Layout Archive
- "on my site use to feature" Use should be used.
- "by me and is not" Is should be are.
- "download or used" Used should be use.
- There are a few more mistakes.. again proof reading will help - don't forget to keep the tenses of your verbs constant.

- Credits
- "but I did not" Should be 'But are not'.

Oi. Your site server has just crashed on me o_O Oh never mind, we're back. ALL IS WELL. Lol. Okay so over-all just double check your grammar etc. Remember - that writing is a BIG part of your site. It's what separates the ppl lyke dis from artists like you. 3) "Soul" - No broken links =) *thumbs up* I'd suggest dressing up your Contact me page a little. It looks a little plain compared to the rest of your site. This section has grammatical errors as well o_O but I'm going to leave you to find those =P I like the content on this page. I'd suggest linking the pages you got your awards (for graphical challenges) though. It would definitely be a favourite of mine. =) 4) "Arts" - Okay, I really enjoyed your art! And the way it was layed out was okay.. but there were some really large graphics hidden there. I also think you need better organization - or give us a description of each one.. that way it becomes more personal =) 5) "Visitors" - Oh wow.. lots of links to go through. o_O lol. Fairly original content. I'm impressed, well done. Again, a few grammatical errors and such but no broken links. Well done.

Oi. That's a hugely long review. I usually comment on coding and my overall impression too... but my fingers are going numb =P So! Congrats on the 4/5 =) I really enjoyed your site and will be checking back often.

Posted: 05/12/2005

I like the layout. Hotness. <3 Hmm - blogs intresting ^.^ I was wondering what the navigation was though lol, but I'm just stupid. xP And I found it in the end yay!! xP ehehe, hmm.. the top image you used for the layout.. the green doesn't really fit with the main green. -shrugs- could just be me. 4/5 :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the layout ~ it's gorgeous! Everything is kind of soft and calm. I don't think I need to look at your code... but I did anyways (=P), and there's nothing that struck me as wrong or anything.
Many of your blends are really good... and I don't really like blends at all, so I was surprised about that hehe.
All of your content is good and in depth - I can't really find anything bad about it. The pixels are so cute, too! ^_^
There is one thing I'm unsure about - your sidebar. There's something about the order that just seems off, a little bit.
I didn't read much of your blog, but what I read was fine.
Overall, I really enjoyed your site :) And I absolutely love the layout (I know I already said that, but I keep stopping and looking at the picture, hehehe ^^U)! ^_^ 5/5

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the simple design. Your style is very pretty and the color choice is easy on the eyes. It loads fairly quick, and I love the idea of quotes before each blog entry.

At first I thought the navigation was different skins, and I was like "ooh yay more pretty layouts" and when I saw they didn't change I was like "hmm, somethings wrong" But soon after I realised that the content changed, and I'm really not that bright. lol, inner blonde moment there.

Your blends and designs are so lovely. I wish I could blend nicely like you. They are all so retro and pretty. :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the art work! You're good :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

The layout. It's green, simple and it loads fast. It's very simple, not so bright nor dark. But the color of your navigation is a bit dull (for me).
The graphics are really great. I love the quality of the blends. Everything on the site is well organized. :D The credits were properly given, which is good.
I rally can't say that much, coz the site is almost perfect. Keep it up!

Posted: 05/12/2005

I have always admired your site. You seem to have a unique talent for anything blends related, as I have never failed to see stunning blends used in your past layouts (as well as your current one). :)

Your current layout looks beautiful. Simple yet elegant. The colours complement each other nicely. (I am a sucker for one-colour themed designs.) And I also love the way everything is set out. Very organised.

Your bio page is intensive and provides a lot of information about you. Everything is also neatly categorized into headings which define your personality, education...etc. (Good luck for your O'Level results!) You have plenty of content to keep your visitors occupied as well, and that is a plus. :P

Posted: 05/12/2005

Woah. Those are nifty links there sista. I'm very fond of nifty little things like that. Though, it's kind of hard to navigate. I have to look down at the status bar, or just wing it. And I'll have you know, just winging it, doesn't always work out.

I like the layout. It's so cool. Refreshing. Makes me want to take a drink of ice tea. It emits the word "Ahh" said when you're swaying back and forth in a hammock. It's spiff.

You've got a lot of good content. Lots and lots of coool stuff to look at. I could spend hours just looking at everything. But I willn't, and just say the stuff that I did look at, it's nifty. Yeserie.

4/5. Feels like somethings missing. Like you're swaying the hammock because you've got nothing better to do. Like you're trying to remember what you've lost. Or something.

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love your site. I love the way you made the colors match and blend; I love how you organized your content! ^_^ It's very clean and neat and your design skill inspires me. I'm giving it 5 stars because in my eyes, it's a masterpiece.

Posted: 05/12/2005

When I opened your site in my browser, I was instantly wowed. What a gorgeous layout! This is one of the best I've seen, having all the elements I look for: neatness, organization, graphics, and nice little touches here and there.

The content is minimal yet enjoyable, but I think your greatest strength is in the images. I could look at your blends for hours. :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

It's Gorgeous. I love the images, colours and order. It's fantastic.

I am gonig to add you to my bookmarks, and my favorites list on my user page.



Posted: 05/12/2005

A lovely LOVELY site. I can't say much to criticise it, so unfortunately this is just an ego boost, haha. I love how everything is neat and works in FF, which rarely happens.

Posted: 05/12/2005

This site is awesome! It's simple, fresh, and very calm. You have a lot of contents, and you blends are perfect. I cannot say anything bad to it. I have no comment, just love it. The layout is just in my style.
*Confession, bookmarked* ^^

Posted: 05/12/2005

The design is beautiful, and the rest of your artwork is very nice. Nothing really stood out in the visitor section, but I liked reading your blog and the section about you.



Posted: 05/12/2005

I like the layout but the text on the grey background where your blog is, is really hard to see, I have bad eyes to begin with and i'm not interested in making them worse by squinting to read what you have to say. You get a 4

Posted: 05/12/2005

Looks truly beautiful - wish I knew how to make a blog look like this.
I feel like I'm peddling a turd in comparison

Posted: 05/12/2005

amazing blend. It is absolutely exquisite.

interesting blogs too.

Posted: 05/12/2005

The blend up top is beautiful. I also loved the grayish blue you used for the content area. If you could, never change the layout ;] The navigation is confusing though. It blends in TOO well with the picture. Yes designwise it\'s great, but as for function, eh... Other than that, your content is great and you have a lot of talent.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Wow! you have talents girl <3 <3 like what everyone has said girl...the site is amazing and sooo pretty :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

mmm, beautiful layout :) excellent content. I really... have no complaints :P

Posted: 05/12/2005

I like the blend for the header. It is bold in it's variety of colors. I also like the photo shots in the left corner. It adds an interesting aspect to your layout. However, I do think you could have preserved a bit more of the original header image. Right now, it looks slightly over blended on the left (behind the squares). That is probably more personal preference because I like the beauty that images, which are not heavily edited, elude.

The second thing I notice about your site is that the readability is low. You might want to increase the contrast between the background and text to several shades darker. I've seen quite a few low contrast layouts lately and though light color fonts may suit some, I do believe that the boldness of the header image isn't carried forth to the color of the content itself. It seems the content is taking back seat behind your layout. Seeing as your layout has a margin and the top, I think one at the bottom would suit nicely.

Your content in regards to your site and girl section is thorough and nicely divided into categories. I'm an organization freak so I like that the categorizing. There really isn't anything that stands out to be different in the Visitors section, but originality is hard to come by these days. I have trouble with that myself. I personally like articles written by the owner as opposed to stuff taken from chain mails and what not as they seem to catch my interest much longer.

Overall, I admire the constant effort you put into your site, as well as the frequent updates in the blog.


Posted: 05/12/2005

Oooo. The layout is pretty. The way you put it together goes together very nicely. I like how it's not just one picture stuck there, but that there's something done to it. The part where it says "Fall Memories" is kind of hard to see, but I don't think it makes anything look bad. The font on the right side is hard to see. It would help if you'd make that a bit brighter.

I found some spelling and grammar problems, but nothing that's too big. You started web designing only sometime last year in August?! Wow. It looked like you've been web desiging for a long time.

The articles under "Visitors" are interesting to read. And I love your art! Each blend is not the same. I see a different style in each one.

I have no complaints about your site. It's nearly perfect, keep working on it.

I give you 4/5 =]

Posted: 05/12/2005

Hi! :D

First Impression:
A pretty, clean site with a soothing appearance. It's also very apparent that you take care and pride of your site, keeping it updated.

Layout:
It's a lovely layout, happily devoid of glaring and painful colours! The only thing is, as lovely as the banner is, there's nothing there that immediately grabs me, you know? It's beautiful but perhaps a little bit bland. :\ Also, the text is a little difficult to read for me and I'd prefer it just to be a little bit darker so that the contrast is a little higher.

Content:
Firstly, it's lovely to see a regularly updated blog!

Your content is varied and interesting, with loads of information about yourself and the site, as well as gifts and information for visitors. I particularly liked your articles section. 5/5 for this bit - faultless.

Validation:
Your CSS validates but not XHTML. Go on, take the leap and go for 100% validation. ;) Your errors aren't horrendous, so it shouldn't be too bad! :D

Score:
4/5. :) A lovely site. I'll visit again.

Posted: 05/12/2005

First of all, this layout is gorgeous. I LOVE IT. =) Your "soul," section is interesting and well put together. I like your art section, especially "windmill.jpg."

good job!

Posted: 05/12/2005

wow! I really like this site! you must have worked hard on it for a long time! It has easy navigation, and the colors you have chosen, there wonderful! I absolutely love the top image. It looks simple, but so pretty! You have a great deal of content too! I could stay here for a long time! I need to think of some original content my site is lacking a great bit, lol. I like evrything about this site, i give you a 10!
Have a great day :O)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Lovely layout! and it looks gorgeous in Firefox! I think I'll be returning here quite often :p

Posted: 05/12/2005

simply gorgeous layout.your portfolio is very nice and the content over all is a wonderful selection :) this is going in my favorites folder

Posted: 05/12/2005

wow, the layout is just absolutely stunning. I just love it. its beautiful - but the font is REALLY extremely hard to read, so I would suggest making it a darker color..perhaps a dark brown would be better, because it is so small and light and I can barely read it at all. Other than that, everything looks great- you have a lot of content too.

Posted: 05/12/2005

You have a beautiful layout. It's very simple yet elegant. Your site shows up perfectly on Firefox, which is always a plus. Also, you have tons of content (I loved your icons by the way). And your portfolio was amazing.
You get a perfect 5.

Posted: 05/12/2005

nice layout! i suggest you make the boxes and layout blend together...i say that to everyone tho ^^

Posted: 05/12/2005

This site is great. Everything from the content to the layout is wonderful!

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love your layout too. Blue - my favourtie colour =P. There is also lots of content, even div layouts for the visitors, which are very pretty, although I don't have much liking for butterflies. Overall, great job... nothing bad to comment about.

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the layout very nice done and blended. Although, Im wondering where your portfolio is? In the menu bar is its kind of hard to find links in your site. Its kind of organize but you should have links together. Other then that its fine.

lol thanx for telling me (-_-) I must be blind.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Very nice site! The texture is awesome. I like the calendar and font you have used also.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Wow I love the layout and the patterns you use. Everything looks amazing and I love the texture you used. The colors are nice on the eyes and they are very winter-like.

Posted: 05/12/2005

like the whole design nice!

Posted: 05/12/2005

I like it; everything loads fairly quickly, your site is organized and you've used your text as part of the design (so important!) There really isn't anything negative to say. Well done!

Posted: 05/12/2005

Your site is nice and organized. I didn't like it much but that's just my opinion. It seemed as if there was too much going on, especially with your main picture. Your choice in color is fair, but the whole page seems as if its fighting together, wanting to know what's going to get more attention.

Ha, well I got carried away there.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Stunning layout! I enjoyed looking through your portfolio aswell, very impressive. Nice amount of content and everything is well organised. I found your blog interesting also...definitely a site that could keep me interested/entertained for a while :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Beautiful work! I love your current layout. The colors are very pretty. Your blends and web designs are also nice. I especially like the ones named memories and beauty. They are very colorful. Definate 5! :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

The only suggestion that I have is validate your HTML. Aside from that, it's perfect.

Posted: 05/12/2005

Stunning layout! I love the brushwork and darkness of it.

I enjoyed the blog and other content, particularly your portfolio. Your graphics skills are very impressive and improving all the time, it appears. :)

Posted: 05/12/2005

Beautiful!
Usually I don't go for dark layouts, but yours is simply gorgeous!
The content was easy enough to find, so + for that! Hehe.
Amazing work, hun!

Posted: 05/12/2005

The graphics are gorgeous on your site. You really have some talent! Nice content, but I think my favorite is your blends. I'll definitely be bookmarking this site to check out in the future!

Posted: 05/12/2005

Wow, I'm impressed I really love the layout Slvrdreamers right, it is quick loading!

The color of the text looks nice against the dark colors too congrats :D

Posted: 05/12/2005

simply stunning. i have fallin in love with the layout- it's so gorgeous and i love the effects on it. Interesting blog and content too. I will definitely be back :D

Posted: 05/12/2005

OMG, This is more like it. Quick loading, different, colors all match, the theme flows, the navigation is distinguishable.... BRILLIANT JOB! I have NOTHING to say. Really. Im speechless. This is the kind of work I expect to see from talented webmistresses. Awesome AWESOME job Dayna. I have NOTHING more to say except maybe, do you want to link exchange? LOL n_n;

Posted: 05/12/2005

The loading was horrible for me, but your coding is okay.
I love the layout, especially the old-picture effect you used and the little splashes of color. Your content seems really interesting, as well. I didn't see anything I didn't like :D

Good job!

Posted: 05/12/2005

I love the brushes/effects you've used on the layout. It's gorgeous. Nice use of the entire screen too. It seems more complete when everything is "covered".
My only suggestion would be to maybe put a continuing line down the left side of your updates to separate the 'x' links from the the actual content. That confused me for a while and looks a little bit sloppy. I think there needs to be a more distinct difference between the too.

Ah, gorgeous layout. I especially like the colours, they seem kinda... aquatic :P I think the text is a wee bit hard to read though. I don't really have anything to pick on ^^ Keep it up!

Ahh, fellow blogger here. I was reading your current rant and I can really appreciate it, because I use my site in a similiar way. Just a place for my thoughts and to express myself. Which, you have done with your words and with your portfolio artwork. Keep it up. Gorgeous layout too.

I love the layout. It is very original and it definitally appealed to me. The colors go well. I do not really like the text boxes, though.

The links are hard to read for me. The main image really isn't too appealing to me.. but I like the colors. Your blogs are ok, they didn't really entertain me too much though. :D

The layout took ages to load but it's soooo stunning! It's really original and that makes your site stand out more and I'll be coming back to visit! :)

The layout took forever to load but i was happy with what i saw. The coding looks immaculate. The only thing that half annoyed me was the link effects. Other then that great job.

Took a long time to lead, but it was worth the wait.

One word - WOW.

The colours you've chosen for the layout go really well together, and the way you've put the whole layout together is..magnificent, well done!
