   Hi Chein! I doubt this is going to be a long review, it might help you out though.

   So, first off – the design. There is a difference between boring and simple. This design comes under the latter. It has a great personal feel to it, which is good because this is your personal website after all! I like the photograph of you (top right corner) in particular. The paper clip is a nice touch too.

   I’m not a big fan of the vertical website name, it might be better at the top of the page. It’s something else that enables this design to be more unique and personal, though.

   I don’t like the uppercase thing going on, it doesn’t quite look right to me. The hover on hyperlinks needs to be a little more defined; it’s quite hard to differentiate at the moment.

   The index page is good, giving a nice impression of you and your website (as do the other pages). I love The Sims, high five! You have an interesting life, quite different to what I’m used to.

   The ‘contact’ and ‘links’ pages are to the point. The contact form is again quite unique, nice one.

   I hope this has been beneficial to you, please consider the fact that it's the first review that I have done. You’ve got a nice little website going on here. It would be great to see some more content, some photographs perhaps.

   NOTE: You can see my rating criteria here.

   LAYOUT - 1 star

   I really enjoy the portfolio theme you have going. The random picture underneath the paper clip is also really neat. The only thing that throws me off a bit is that some headings are bold and some aren't. What's up with that?

   CONTENT - half a star

   It's hard to rate it, because it's almost non-existent. You say you are utilizing your space, but I disagree. This is a great start, but you definitely need to flesh it out a bit more. It took me less than five minutes to read everything on your site. If you never add anything, why should I come back to your site some other time? Yeah, I probably won't.

   EXCERPTS - half a star

   I always believe that I've the mental age of a child, simply because I still act like one. I squeal with joy whenever I see cute soft toys and would even beg, yes, beg, my mother to let me buy it. My mental age fluctuates depending on the situation I'm facing.

   This little anecdote is kind of interesting. It's one of the rare spots where you reveal anything of any interest about yourself, which is what a site that is dedicated to yourself should do. "Gripping" certainly isn't a word I'd use to describe this passage, though - or anything else on the site.

   UNIQUENESS - half a star.

   I really like the theme and the photo randomizer. Also, I've never seen anything like your comment form. It's adorable! I might be stealing that.

   BONUS! - nada

   I'm a content-oriented kinda guy, and frankly, there wasn't any to keep my interest. Sorry.

   GRAND TOTAL: 2.5 stars

   Your theme is really neat, but sadly, there's really nothing else there. Unless you add some content regularly, you can't really expect anyone to come back to your site in a week or two. I know I won't.

   I like the simplicity of your site, it's clean and organized. The tans and whites are a good, pleasing color scheme, however a light variation of pinks or blue will be a nice touch of color. Other than that the layout is nicely done, it's not drop dead gorgeous but it is comely.

   It was a smart idea to place overview of yourself on the site, it acts like a summary of what your site is about and gets people interested. Good thinking and once again it is neat and organized.

   Onto the Persona section (good choice of word)! Hey, everyone is a kid of heart! I like how you incorporated a short bio of yourself to really establish who you are. It includes goals, hobbies, family and personality traits, but it would be interesting to get a better feel of who you are by throwing in some fun life stories. I really do not know, I do not visit personal pages to often aside from facebook.

   Now, the about site section. It's short and sweet to the point. One thing I learned from some people is that they hate long history pages but your's is perfect. Yay, a story! Must people stumble on a site name but your's just came out from your mind.

   The contact page form design is excellent, I haven't seen anything like that before. As well, links are well organized.

   Your site is short and sweet along with it being very organized. However it is a little bit too short! Through in some more you in there by showing bits of work that you done or an occasional story.

   It was a pleasure!

   First Impression
   very calm, clean, and simple design, i like that :)

   I enjoy reading "Persona", I you should write more since it's all about you. I'm very impressed that you have a lot of skills ! ;)

   "About site" - ah, ezyrewards user :)
   I personally don't have any problem with this page, but I think maybe you could add something?

   The "Links" and "Contact" page is nicely done, have no problem with those all, and I love the form, it's beautiful

   Overall
   The design is very simple and clean, I love the random photos on every page, your content is all organized, I enjoy browsing your site. My suggestion is just to write more about you, you and you ;)

   Give you 4/5

   wow i really like your site! nice job! very simple, a quality that I LOVE with sites! it's not plain at all because it has perfect accents and details such as the background. I love the contact form box! very creative and deffinately adds to the detailed the design of the site. I think it is a great personal site! lots of information about yourself that interesting to read! i must say you have quite a lot of skills aquired througout the years! haha my only suggestions for the site would be the text on the right side of your layout with your URL. I think it's arial? or something similar, but I'm not a fan. It's kind of distracting and I don't really know why. it could be that it just stands out too much since its white and everything else is cream or the font is too plain. I'm not sure but maybe try experimenting with different types? Overall very good site!

   Uhh alright, for some reason maybe it’s my computer but the image site looks different from the site image I see but whatever. I’m not so crazy about having the top of the site be your site name in a vertical position. The site names not that interesting but it does grab some attention to some extent for me that is. As I scroll down, I see an image of a cute girl which I’m guessing is you; no one puts random pictures of cute little girls on their site unless they mean business. It’s a small design and it looks to be cluttered at the top when there’s more room to expand your line-heights to. I don’t like how the titles kind of look like their merging into the text under them. Just weird I’d say, no blocks, dividers, nothing to really separate text here. So it looks messy like you were in a rush or something. The first page basically has the About the site and the updates for the site complete. This is odd because normally the index page leads to the blogs or entries. Persona is you which is a beautiful link to be under. There’s a lot of info about you. I’m not really that interested in you, but more in the site. I feel like you’re kind of repeating yourself but mixing the words around here and there to make it look like more content. The About site page looks very similar to the front index page. Your link back is a huge banner, most sites aren’t going to link that big of a banner anytime soon, make smaller sizes for more linkers. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what kind of site I was on, it was person I got that feeling but still when I left, I was unsatisfied which makes me wonder if I want to return at all, the font is commonly used and so is the size and color, the colors of the design make me sleepy, it’s not really creative so I’m not sure why you put it up for reviewing. Normally personal sites aren’t hard to grade, but it really depends on the person that posts their personal sites for reviewing, that a dangerous step. Still you have guts so I hope you don’t mind if I give you a 2 out of 5.

   First Impression:
   Clean design, nice pleasing colors. The font at the bottom is a bit hard to read, I think it would be better if the trees in the background were a bit lighter. Navigation is easy to find and use.

   Front page:
   Since it’s a personal site about you it has all the necessary information. Only thing I’m missing is your age, but that might be just my freak obsession of knowing the age of the owner of the site :p

   Persona:
   Ok, your age is listed here, I’d personally like it on the front page still, but that’s me. You have interesting information about yourself here, and it’s well written. Since it’s a site about you, I think you could maybe have even more information here. Maybe some sub-pages with more in-depth information about you. (And wow, you know a lot of languages!)

   Site:
   All necessary information. As I understand this is a fairly “new” site, at least a new re-opening, and I assume previous layouts will be listed here when that time comes. I really like viewing previous versions and layouts of sites I visit.

   Contact:
   Maybe make your twitter and last.fm usernames as links to your profiles? The form is kinda low contrast, I would make it the same color as the font.

   Chien's Response:

   Whoops! My original draft of my "Who is this madwoman?" section still had my age intact, but when I C&P'ed it over, I missed out that!

   There's too much about me that I'd say, and that's why I left it for later since I've a lot to edit over and over again so that things would connect @_@

   I've lost all my screenshots of previous versions since I'm on a new computer :( I'd probably have to dig up from all my archives and that would take a long time D: Designs as old as four years old would come into the picture :P

   Ahh yes, I forgot to link them too. *headdesk*

   *goes off to edit all the things mentioned*
