Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.

Thief, Bully and a Liar

So not only is Krissy of acidgloss.net/krissy.nu a thief (see google cache of her skins page where she claims it took two hours to create a vector, then the archive of her blog entry where she was caught and had to give credit), and a beggar (anyone who’s ever been a part of her listing… read full entry »

Review of fluffyland.com (2)

Reviewed: Sam Site URL: fluffyland.com I was quite excited about seeing your new layout because you have a tendency to produce cute, colourful setups which are pleasant on the eyes and easy to use. I was somewhat disappointed to find a bland, somewhat amateur-ish layout with a lack of structure or colour. What went wrong?… read full entry »

Review of reviews.frozen-rain.net

Reviewed: Sanosuke Site URL: reviews.frozen-rain.net I refer to “you” many times in this review where on occasions it may apply to another staff member, don’t take things that don’t apply to you personally. I would recommend letting all of your staff members read this review. If there’s one thing more irritating than a pointless splash… read full entry »

Review of s-memories.net

Reviewed: Raissa Site URL: s-memories.net First impression was something along the lines of “my, what a lot of blue”. Anyone who has visited my many and various sites over the years will tell you that I’m a big fan of blue and that if CSR had a scoring system, I’d probably give bonus points for… read full entry »

HONESTY PLEASE!

If I didn’t love reviewing so much I’d have given it up by now. I don’t get why people literally *demand* a review and then throw a temper tantrum when you don’t tell them how trendy they are. And for once I’m not talking about yoursite.nu… When someone says “HONESTY PLEASE” (just like that, in… read full entry »

Mozilla More Popular

6 months ago if anyone had asked me what sort of browsers that people browsing my site use I would have said “well, about 85% use Internet Explorer”; Mozilla/Firefox barely registered on my list. However, their time has certainly come – 40.2% of my visitors now use Firefox, and 0.9% Mozilla. That’s a combined total… read full entry »

Review of at-the-beginning.net

Reviewed: Sparky Site URL: at-the-beginning.net At The Beginning First thing I see is a big splodgy blue image. I’ve never seen the point of these trendy/grungy style images but people seem to be attracted to them so if you think this represents your site I have no objections. I do think, however, that the top… read full entry »

Review of sensorial.org/captious

Reviewed: Veve Site URL: sensorial.org/captious Subtle earthy tones are always a welcome colour scheme on a website because of the way they make a visitor (me in particular) feel mellow. This website is no exception. The green-coloured sidebar is too pronounced compared to the rest of the layout, but in general a relaxing overall look… read full entry »

Nostalgic Part 2

Even after you gals provided me with potential excuses yesterday, I still don’t understand the reasonings behind placing adverts on a personal site. For example — money.. if people can’t afford a domain or hosting in the first place, they shouldn’t be on the Internet. Why spend money you haven’t got, and then beg to… read full entry »

Nostalgic

Anyhow.. am I just being nostalgic and old-fashioned when I question web advertising and banners on personal web pages? Four or so years ago when I was a newbie “designer” without a domain name, I’d have killed to have found free hosting without a banner, because everyone knew that the ultimate in web design was… read full entry »
