Aethetics: The color scheme could be nice, but I just don't think it's put together properly, so it just turned out badly. I can't read the text in your header section because it doesn't contrast enough with the background color and it's too small. The color of the font against your horizontal menu doesn't contrast enough, and while it's not a difficult to read as your header text, I still kind of have to squint. I think your header information section is too busy as well. Maybe you should enlarge your picture, make the "about you" section in your header a bit large and add some padding for goodness sakes! Your text is pushed up against the border. Maybe you should also consider shortening up your menu and make it the same width as the content because it's currently looking like it wants to expand across the whole page, but there's about a 10 pixel gap on either side.
Content:
I like your blog, it tells a lot about you. Not just the things you like but the things you don't like (like coding CSS with the semi-colon thing, HAD THAT PROBLEM hated it!), it's very personal.About This is very informative but I notice, once again, no margins around pictures. You should add that, it makes your site appear much neater.
Site: This section should, most likely, have one main page. That way I am not just clicking a link to a page that has more links (when it's not really "supposed" to). So, I click on the "history" and I see a lot of information, there are also quite a few run-on sentences as well. Your credits section should be more descriptive, let people know HOW these individuals helped you out. Your "hosting" section is a bit of a mess but I think your rules are within reason and it's really great that you offer free hosting. :) I honestly must say that I liked your past layouts better, just by looking at your screen shots.
Visitor: Oh you have tutorials! Basic HTML? You shouldn't have that in your tutorials, people can find that ANYWHERE! Not to mention you have your code in textareas, try just using the
codetag.You have inline frame tutorials? Most people are trying to get away from inline frames because they are useless. You can do the same thing with a div and not have to load a whole separate page.
Honestly, all of your HTML tutorials are "Basic HTML" and really not only look a mess but are completely pointless.
Your Photoshop tutorials are all way too simple, most people know how to do these things already. Image maps, by the way, are outdated and don't work in most (portable) browsers. You're also suggesting (in your blending tutorial) that people should use celebrity images, which is a copyright infringement.
Your MISC tutorials are really short and useless as well. Your Javascript pop-up tutorial is okay, but it's not really a tutorial, it's just a piece of code. The back and forward links, not tutorials, just bits code and pointless. All browsers already come with those features. Same for you PHP Include code.
I didn't go through your Wordpress tutorials word for word or code by code, but they seem reasonably reliable and could definitely prove useful to some. Wordpress can be a handful to mediocre coders.
Your icons mostly consist of celebrity or copyright images, I would take those particular icons down. Your icon textures on the other hand feature some LOVELY textures.. I hope you've made them all or at least gotten permission to redistribute them. Your large textures could be very useful as well. Very nice!
Your layouts, none of them are to my taste and just by looking, you've broken some rules missy!

I took the liberty of reading colorfilter.net's terms of use, I honestly hope you have asked permission to create these layouts with these particular patterns because, while you are giving credit, you are redistributing the pattern.
* You may not redistribute them anywhere online or offline.
* You may not edit, alter, or recreate them into your own resources to be offered anywhere online or offline. This means no turning them into brushes, patterns, or other texures and then distributing them elsewhere as your own.
* Never claim them as your own.I just thought you should know because it could get you into some trouble.. or at least cause a mild form of embarassment.
THE PROGRAMS ARE NOT YOURS TO DISTIRBUTE!
I gave your site 1.5 stars because visually it's a mess and there is hardly any "original" content here. Even your tutorials don't seem as though you put a lot of effort into them (with the exception of the Wordpress tutorials)

Well the first thing I saw was green. Then I realized that page was loading pretty slowly and my connection is usually faster. After the site loaded, I saw a picture of what I predict is you. Next to the picture was some bold/italicize text. The text where your 'about me' on the front page is barely readable with the dark background and black text. Also, the first thing I saw was that the 'host' and 'affiliates' buttons didn't go along with the whole layout. Another thing is, I don't know why you have two affiliates section, so I suggest you change it all into one section.
About Me Page:
Upon clicking the 'About Me' page, I saw that your site takes a while for me to load on every page. On this page, I like that you put a little summary of yourself in list format, and then went in depth. I like this page.
Site Page:
This page is self explanatory. It's organized and easy to navigate. Although, I don't see a point to the disclaimer where it talks about videos and mp3s. Whether or not the files on uploaded onto your database is strictly your business in my opinion.
Visitor's Page:
I like how neat this site is. Everything is easy to find and can be self explained. The tutorials are also easy to follow and I know how hard that must be to do.
Overall Conclusion:
The pages were extremely slow loading. I don't think it's my internet connection because all the other pages i visit seem to load in the same pace. The front page doesn't appeal to me. I think that you should find a place to put your site name. (I suggest somewhere on the side where your background is). You should also fix the coding because on the bottom of every page, there's that 'Rewind| mirotic-love.org Powered By Wordpress| Forward' thing and I think it should be centered, smaller (the bar), and readable.Using Firefox on Windows | Report This?

Thanks for the review :) The site loads slow on my computer too so I'm glad someone told me otherwise I would have thought it was my connection, lol.
Adding the site name is currently what I'm going to do and hoe it doesn't mess things up for me, lol.
I like having my site neat so thank you for noticing ^^ and I've changed the footer to have Wordpress Plugins instead of Rewind|blahblahblah|Forward...![[img: avatar]](/avatars/Liz.png)

Even though this is a simple layout why not have your site name some where? The color scheme looks nice except for the bright blue one the "affiliates" and "hostee" links. Yayy for valid css and wordpress(: The rewind/fastforward links are a little unnecessary though because people use their browser buttons. Overall it looks good text is a good size.Coding
Ahhh you have 57 errors but that can be easily fixed. In xhtml sometimes one error can mess up the order in which tags are supposed to be called (called parsing) and fixing that will fix all your errors. So I see you have to close your meta tags in your header with "/>" well if the code tags decide to workk:( Some other minor mistakes but nothing huge.Pages
About Me
You listen to Korean music? That's really intresting do you speak it fluently?Site
History- A very well written history of your site and about how you came about your site name.
All the other pages don't really need reviewing."Visitors" or Resources
Tutorials- An iframe tutorial?! Iframes are highly invalid:( Ermm window open and close? Ohh you mean "pop ups".
Layouts- Don't have iframe layouts available "div" ones are great.
Icons- Ahh are these stock photos or copyrighted images? If they are copyrighted are you aware that it's illegal to use these? Take them down immediately.
Programs- If you don't "claim" them why are they on your site. You should take this page down.
Reads- These are interesting. Maybe have an article on an introduction to some basic Korean or something that engages the visitor.Overall
Good site. With a new layout with your site name on it and cleaning up your coding you'd improve a ton(: Just get rid of your copyrighted images and add some interesting articles. With some fixing here and there I'm sure your site could improve a lot.Using Firefox on Windows | Report This?
Ladytee's Response:
Thank you for the review :) With this layout, I'm still acting little stuffs here and there but I have no idea just where I should add the site name without it making the layout look 'tacky'
As for the bright blue, I'll make it darker so it doesn't take attention away from the layout...
I'm currently fixing the HTML errors as I type.I do listen to Korean music but can't speak the language fluently, I'm learning though but it's so hard, lol.
Some of the Icons are stocks images but the ones that are not, I'll take them down :) I'll also take down the 'Programs'
The Introduction to Basic Korean is a great idea...I've been thinking of some Articles to add, thank you very much.
This review was very useful...Thank you for taking your time to help me :)
