First Impression

"Oooo, nice site. It will be worth my while to look around here." The layout is lovely, simple and clean. She has properly credited resources, and even links to reviewers. <3 It's obvious she can code and use her image editor well, so I am excited to look at her content. And, she updates often.

Navigation

The navigation is on the sidebar with large, easy to read links. There is a link to the main page [blog], the owner's profile [the joker], content [junk], domain, reviews, and hosting. The content opens to another easy-to-navigate page.

Header

I really like this image. It's simple, a black and white picture with a "Pleasantville" effect to the Joker's mouth, which is a really nice touch. It's got several brushes and textures that give it a grungy look, which match the Joker's appearance. There are text accents off to the right that look very nice, with the site's name and the name of the layout theme clearly seen in uppercase Times New Roman.

Coding

The coding is simple, but still great. The font [Georgia, I believe] is easy to read, and even though the same font is used for everything, she uses different text effects that make it look interesting. The colors match the header [except the bold color, but it's a pale yellow that looks nice with the colors.] The alignment tends to change once you leave the blog, but I know she was having alignment problems earlier, and it's really not that annoying.

Content

Articles
I prefer not to review these, but she has book reviews, fiction, and world issues.

Graphics

HTML Tutorials

Summary

The site is the start of a really good site. I say the start of because there's really not much visitor content [aside from a lot of tutorials, which are only helpful for so long], but what she does have is wonderful. I know it's probably meant to be more of a personal blog site, though.
Sugesstions

  • More visitor content!
  • Make larger blends.
  • Get rid of the Freewebs tutorials.
