Reviewed: no idea Site URL: tutorials.delinquente.org I was tempted to name this review “how not to do a tutorial site”, but I don’t want to break with tradition. On one hand my super spider-sense says that I’m about to commit a major faux pas by reviewing you because you’re only 13, but hey — if… read full entry »
(note: bear with the layout, I’m just bored & fiddling..) ..because my patience is getting shorter and I cannot seem to find any decent websites or blogs of late. Starting from least annoying, moving on to most annoying (obviously). 5. You have nothing worth coming back for. Such an obvious answer. The issue here is… read full entry »
Reviewed: Sarah Site URL: 3till7.net I’m having difficulty starting this review. Most reviews I start off with a quick summary of my first impression of a website — it’s hard to do that when you’ve been visiting a website for years. Your new layout is not my favourite. I think the swirly zigzag pattern is… read full entry »
Take a quick look at a handful of teen tutorial websites and you will notice a recurring trend: code is distributed through a multitude of <textarea>s. While these are often coloured, in an attempt at creating some sort of consistent colour scheme, it is rare that the site owner has made an effort to resize… read full entry »
For the first time in about a year, I’ve had a new review done by Rhiannon of PetShopGirl’s Reviews. Have a read, it’s good! Feel free to expand on any ideas that have been suggested. I wouldn’t mind some suggestions for other reviewers/reviewing websites too — it’s been ages since I’ve had site reviews done…. read full entry »
OUTSPOKEN-kate.com is a typical teenage personal website. Small text — barely different in colour from the background, mangled iframes given extreme heights to try and prevent extra scrollbars, indistinguishable links and the insane assumption that being able to scrape together a website gives you the right and/or ability to publish shitty tutorials. Before we even… read full entry »
Reviewed: Sami Site URL: sami.sophistichiq.com First impression: too much text. I like reading websites — they’re quite interesting — I don’t like being chucked in at the deep end though. An introduction should be a few sentences maximum, preferably with a few keywords nicely highlighted for me to pick up as I scan. If these… read full entry »
The last time I mentioned Micro Mart on my blog was when I was ranting about their habit of “educating” their readers with a poor standard of coding. My letter, as predicted by the majority of us, was not published or replied to. It did help me get that ‘moment’ off my chest though, heh…. read full entry »
For a long time now I’ve wanted to make some sort of consistent image for jemjabella.co.uk. A logo or type of branding that is instantly recognisable — much like the Coca-Cola™ bottles or the Nike ‘tick’. The problem with this is finding something that fits the site, that I actually like, and that I can… read full entry »
It’s that time again — I’m dishing out another pants award. This time it’s phpeasystep.com which, according to their meta description, will “Teach you step-by-step with easy simple php code”. Simple is the right word — completely basic, with no attempt at security what-so-ever, leaving anybody who uses some of the tutorials at great risk… read full entry »
