My Comments: Slightly sugar-coated review, but maybe the person was being nice. Not enough criticism, but it shows she at least read it! ^__^ Remember, ver.1 still had everything inside it.
Originality: 2/2 Stars. 3 column layouts! Pretty original among the world of personal sites composed of frames. xD The Rants Archive also played a role in the originality, giving visitors another pleasurable item to read. I'm happy to see all the hard hours put into making this site, and am glad to see you got your own domain. ^__^
Content: 3/3 Stars. Heh. There's a bit of sarcasm in the welcome message on the main page. xP Navigation is clearly explained, even for those dense people who don't know that images can be links too. The Favorite Words page are composed of words that are probably good for studying for the SATs. Self Analysis! I took pleasure in reading that. I saw the sarcasm again. xD "My view of myself? Well, I'm the best in the whole world yet I'm not that special. I can do anything yet I haven't achieved anything. I'm confident yet I'm totally insecure. I'm happy yet I'm depressed. I'm good yet I'm evil. I'm me. So there." *claps* Believing in oneself's individuality and uniqueness is great. So many rants in the Rant Archive! This was my favorite section of the site. I love to read rants and how people feel about different topics. Also on this site are a few stories and a poem. I'm not the best at lateral thinking, so I didn't do so well in the Riddles area. -.-; Tutorials and links leading to sites with tutorials! Helpful for the webmaster. In short, there is an abundance of information on this site, and it's no surprise that it became more popular.
Layout: 2/2 Stars. I enjoyed the layout immensely. The colors all seemed to blend in with each other seamlessly and beautifully. To make it all match even more, you could use the onmouseover fade effect on the buttons on the right side. The phrase at the top, "You all laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same." is perfect for a personal domain, which should be about your own individual self. ^.^ I also haven't seen a lot of 3 column layouts for personal sites. Most seem to use frames these days. I love the font used on the left bar and for the dividers on the individual pages. It all seems so elegant. The guestbook layout is also amazing.
Loading Time: 1/1 Star. The images on the side bar loaded quickly. It was the top image that had a few problems on my 56K. It was satisfactory.
Overall Impression: 2/2 Stars. Amazing. Such a site definitely deserved its own domain. :] So much information and so many fun reads...Like Siskel and Ebert say, "Two Thumbs Up!"
Total Stars Earned: 10/10 Stars. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable giving so many stars. >>; I feel that there must be something more needed for improvement that my eyes are just missing. Even though it's tough reviewing a personal site which is based on personal information, this was one of the most enjoyable ones I've ever visited. This is also the first site to receive full points... Excellent job!
