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 »

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 »

Reviewed: Jane Site URL: acior.net Despite how common this design is at the moment, there’s nothing more wonderful than a beautifully done colour scheme with a perfectly complimentary decorative image to tie things in together – something you have managed to achieve. Your text is an adequate size for me to read, and you seem… read full entry »

As it’s break time, I was surfing the lib dem/aboutmyvote.co.uk site for information on postal votes, and I noticed an “xhtml” link at the bottom of aboutmyvote.co.uk. Potentially impressive, but somewhat disappointing. I clicked the link and the site does not validate. So, being the nosy busy body I am I sent an e-mail to… read full entry »

Reviewed: Anne Site URL: crash.happy-dagger.net Your site immediately reminded me of David Dickinson. You’ve probably never heard of him – but if you look him up on Google images, you should see that he’s a badly tanned, bright orange antiques specialist that unfortunately appears in lots of daytime television here in the UK. This is… read full entry »

Reviewed: Aneesah Site URL: aneesah.pixelled.com Firstly, my apologies for taking such a long time to get your review finished. Unfortunately, that is the woes of going on holiday not long after I open submissions. A slight error on my part, I think. I’ve said it time and time again – I love the integration of… read full entry »

Reviewed: Laurie Site URL: sledge.sevets.net I don’t really know what my first impression of your site is. On one hand, I see the lovely background colour – that shade of blue is one of my favourites – yet at the same time there’s a great big chunk of white space which I don’t “understand”, and… read full entry »

Reviewed: Katrina Site URL: bedazzled.twiskers.net I completed this review out of sheer frustration at the lack of quality people get away with in the “reviewing world”. Firstly, you’ve created main.php instead of index, but haven’t used a redirector to make main load as the index, which means after following your URL all I get is… read full entry »

I have always considered myself an observer. I watch everything — particularly people, because then I can attempt to interpret their behaviour and make little profiles in my head. I love to watch ‘weblog circles’. These are little circles of friends which all link to one another, and then someone in that circle links to… read full entry »

Let’s talk about elite cliques. No, I’m not talking about a good ol’ whinge because I haven’t been accepted (I haven’t tried recently), nor am I talking about the usual rant on how acting elite is bad (I love being elite). This is a rant/observation on cliques that think they’re elite when they’re not. At… read full entry »
