Whoa. Sorry it's been so long. I guess this site is on a hiatus, so I'm closing reviews and won't be updating for a while. I don't know when I'll start updating again, but the hiatus is starting today.

7-4-09
Happy 4th of July!!!!
Sorry I didn't review anyone or update, I've been busy the last couple of days. I don't know when I'll be able to review some one. Pretty soon, I'm going to train with my horse, I hope. So I'll have to go on hiatus then.

7-1-09
Sorry I haven't updated or opened reviews yet, I got busy in real life. Reviews are now open, though, and I'm going to try to get a review done today. Thanks for your patience! Also, I now view in FF too!

6-27-09
Ok, I'm coming home tomorrow, so I'll open reviews then.

6-26-09
Change of plans, I'm not coming back until tomorrow or the next day, so reviews are still closed.
I got another vote at Leaves Of Carnivals, I need 15 more to catch up with first place, so keep voting, and thanks for your support!

6-25-09
I made a few more buttons and a few of my requested ones were finished!
I'm also thinking about creating a button and pixel site. I'm still learning how to make them both, but I think it would be fun!
Later
Looks like I've got a couple of fans! I have 6 votes at Leaves Of Carnivals!

6-24-09
Thanks, stargirl_269 for the new banner!

6-23-09
Ok, I neomailed all the affies, directories, pretty much everyone with my link/button and asked them to change it. I'm updating the awards now, and am also changing the grading system so that it's out of 100.

6-22-09
Wow, it's been a while. Still on vacation, I'm going home on Friday. Anyways, I'm going to change the site name as soon as I come up with something, it will still be island themed, just a more original name. If you have any suggestions, neomail me!
Oh, and reviews are going to be closed until I get back.
(Later)
Ok, I decided to change the site name to Sky Breezes. If you linked to me in any way, please change your button. For now there is only one link back button, but I am requesting and making more.

6-17-09
Ugh, waiting list is getting longer, I'll do a review now.

6-16-09
Alright, I'm going to re-open reviews today and try to get at least one review done. Thanks for being so patient everyone!

6-15-09
Sorry I didn't update, I'm still on vacation. But I did add a few affies!

6-12-09
Island Reviews was reviewed by Aerodynamic! It scored a 79.5/100 or 79.5%.

6-11-09
I'm going on a two week vacation tomorrow, and probably won't be on much. I'll try, but for the time being, reviews are closed.

6-10-09
Island Reviews was reviewed by Charmer, 49/100.:( I've been fixing everything up and most likely will be asking for a re-review.

Last night, when I put up the last update, I didn't realize how late it was. So I'm going to do one now, and if I have time, I'll do another tomorrow. So sorry to everyone who's been waiting!

On hiatus from 7-20-09 to whenever.

Welcome, guest, to Sky Breeze!!! This review site was created by starry_snow63, Megan(me), on May 22, 2009. From May 22, 2009 - June 22, 2009, Sky Breeze was known as Island Reviews.
It is currently not under construction.
Here are the rules to be reviewed:

1. I view in IE and FF. If your site only looks right in a different browser, please tell me.

2. I will review any site on Neopets. No guilds.

3. Remember, this is only my opinion, don't take it to heart.

4. If I review your site, you must put my link/button some where.

5. Only take an award if I gave you a rating high enough.

6. If you don't like your rating, you may request to be reviewed again the following month.

7. My horse's name is Houdini, because he can open gates.

Hopeless Thoughts(re-review)

First Look (6/10) - Much better! I like the banner, but I think it would look better if it was centered, along with everything else. You have a welcome message now, good job! Speaking of which, in your welcome message, you should put a break between 'want one' and the form, and between the form and the 'neomail me' button. That way it's not all crammed together. Also, on your 'neomail me' button, you didn't get rid of the linked image border. If you don't know how to get rid of it, go here.

Content (8/10) - Only two things. Like I said, I think everything should be centered. The only other thing is that you don't have many graphics.

Grammar/Spelling (3/5) - 'am currantly taking request...' Should be, 'am currently taking requests...' Also, you really need to start using the shift key, it makes it look neater.

Neatness (7/10) - Well, it's pretty neat, but that is mostly because it's small. If these are pick ups,(which I'm pretty sure they are) you should put a navigation for the people picking up their graphics. And you should add normal navigation to get around the page.

Affies (0/5) - You only have one affie and they didn't link to your site.

Updates (0/5) - You don't have any updates, which you really should. Otherwise people might think that your site isn't being run anymore.

Extra/Other (4/5) - You don't really have anything extra... But still, most sites don't, but a lot are starting to, so only one point off.

Link Back Buttons (2/5) - You only have one and you don't have it up as an example. Plus, that whole section is messy, there's a button in the middle of a sentence.

Overall (7.5/10) - Well, you definately have improved, but you still have some of the same problems, plus I see new ones. I'm sure Hopeless Thoughts could be a great graphics site with some more work!

Total Score: 37.5/65

Sorry, you didn't win an award.:(

Very Well Named

First Look (8/10) - The first thing I see is the brightly colored background that blends in with the banner. Since they both are the same color, I don't quite notice the banner as easily, plus the background is a little distracting. Also, I'd suggest putting the introduction at the top.

Content (7/10) - The Untaken Pet Names were very good, but in the Female names section you forgot to put a break between the first and second names. On the username section next to the name Gozyn, you forgot to take the border of the heart next to it. On the Gallery Names page I would put navigation to the other pages. And on the Positions page you need to get rid of the border on the neomail button. But you have a lot of great, creative names!

Grammar/Spelling (3.5/5) - On the usernames page the link to the gallery page is spelled Gallary, when it should be Gallery. On the gallery page, 'You will warned and then reported!' Should be, 'You will be warned...

Neatness (9/10) - Everything's fine, just make sure to put navigation on the Gallery Names page.

Affies (5/5) - You have a ton of affies and even top affies! Good job!

Updates (5/5) - You update pretty often, that's good!

Extra/Other (5/5) - Most well named sites are just for pets, so that's great that you do more.

Link Back Buttons (5/5) - Different buttons on each page, all matching your layout.

Overall (7/10) - I would probably come to your site again for pet names, and I did like those gallery names. All the things that I took points off of was for little things, fix them and you could get a perfect score!

Total Score: 54.5/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Cali Reviews

First Look (6/10) – When I first look at your site, I see the over used layout from sunnyneo and no introduction, just straight to the reviews. There are plenty of premade site layouts that people on Neopets kindly made, try using one of those. I also see a blank header on the side that just says Header.

Content (3/10) – You only have one review, and you only put the scores for each category of grading. You didn't list why they got that score (like I'm doing now), so they don't know what they need to do to improve the site. Plus, you didn't even say what the total score was, you just made the award. And to make it even worse, you added wrong. It's out of 100, and the scores that the site got add up to 52, which would make it 52%, not 93%. At the bottom, you have 'Awards:' then 'Contact Me' and nothing in between. One last thing, on the side where it says 'form,' first I don't know if that's to get reviewed or to be an affie, and second, what does the number of avatars have to do with either?

Grammar/Spelling (3/5) - …clicking the envalope – envalope should be envelope
On your only button, Revews should be Reviews.

Neatness (6/10) – Your site is pretty neat, but maybe put the awards somewhere else, and make it a little clearer who the review is for. And on the award, some words are centered and others aren't, try to make it all the same.

Affies (4/5) – You don't have any affies, and you're not in any directories, but your site is new, so I'll only take off one point.

Updates (4/5) – You don't have any updates, but again, your site is new, so only one point off.

Extra/Other (4/5) – You don't have anything extra, but most sites don't. Try to get a counter though, a lot of people have those, and they're really cool.

Link Back Buttons (3/5) – You only have one, and it has a typo. At least it's 88x31.

Overall (5/10) – Cali Reviews isn't the best site in the world, but if you really put some work into it, I'm sure it could turn into a great site! Right now it has a lot of problems, but most can be easily fixed. To get more people to review, try advertising on the boards.

Total Score: 38/65

Sorry, you didn't win an award. :(

Lovelade Directory

First Look (8/10) - The first thing I see is the banner that says, 'Lovelade Directory.' That makes me think of a link directory, but when I scroll down you start talking about mutant pets. I'd suggest changing that to make it a little more clear. Other than that, it's pretty nice, but add a welcome message maybe.

Content (7/10) - You've got a lot to look at, but maybe add links for the avatars, and get a welcome message. Also, your lab ray pricing is off. First, each piece isn't worth 50k, and second, even if they were worth that much, it wouldn't add up to 1.1 mil. Try this guide for pricings.

Grammar/Spelling (4.5/5) - You forgot to put spaces between a couple of sentences, but I'm just being nit picky, so I won't take any points off for that. But in the Random Event and Updates section, you didn't capitalize an I. Once again, nit picky.

Neatness (9/10) - Your site is pretty neat, but under the Potion List, I'd put the name either under or next to the picture, not a combination of both.

Affies (3/5) - You have a lot of affies, but four don't have you listed as one.

Updates (3/5) - You only have one update, and you didn't put the date for it.

Extra/Other (5/5) - You have a counter, and that counts!

Link Back Buttons (4/5) - You have a fair amount of buttons, but only two 88x31 ones. Maybe add a few more of those since people usually won't add you if it's not that size.

Overall (7/10) - Your site is a nice place for people who don't know how to get mutant pets. I personally probably won't come back, but that's only because I already know the methods. Just make sure to fix up those mistakes! Total Score: 60.5/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Dixie's Complete
Color Guide

First look (10/10) - The first thing I notice is the banner which tells me exactly what your site is about, and the nicely matching colors.

Content (10/10) - You have listed every way to paint your pet, along with the prices. I'm sure that took a while, good job!

Grammar/Spelling (5/5) - I didn't find any mistakes, good job!

Neatness (9/10) - Everything's pretty neat. The only thing that I'd suggest is to make it so that the entire name of the item goes above the picture and the price below, or something like that.

Affies (4/5) - You have a very good amount of affies, but a couple times you forgot to put a break between them.

Updates (5/5) - All of your updates are kept track of nicely.

Extra/Other (5/5) - You have a counter and a key, both nice things to have.

Link Back Buttons (4/5) - You only have one button, and should have more of a variety. There are lots of sites out there who could make one for you, if you don't know how.

Overall (8/10) - I would definitely][ come back to Dixie's Complete Color Guide for my own use, I hate trying to figure out the price of a pb with all the false inflation. Just fix up those few little things, and you could probably get a perfect score!

Total Score: 60/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Flying Faerie
Buttons

Hello!

First Look (9/10) - The first thing I notice is the matching banner and background. Then I notice the big text on everything else, which makes it, well, go on for a while longer than it needs to be.

Content (6/10) - Well, you only have four button bases, and don't have any examples of what you can make. You should also add a waiting list.

Grammar/Spelling (4/5) - Want a costom button? - Want a custom button?

Neatness (10/10) - Your site is pretty neat and easy to get around, especially since it's so small. And the layout matches nicely.

Affies (3/5) - You have only two, and one didn't put your link up.

Updates (5/5) - You don't update too often, but not months a part, and you do keep track, so that's good.

Extra/Other (5/5) - You have a tips section, which I've never seen before, so that's definately extra!

Link Back Buttons (3/5) - You only have one button and you have a button site, so you'd expect more than that. But it does match!

Overall (7/10) - Overall, your site's not too bad. There are a few things you need to do to improve it, but it's not too bad!

Total Score: 52/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Damaged

First Look (9/10) - The first thing I notice is the title and navigation. I love the navigation at the top, so if I already knew what I'm looking for, it's right there. But when I noticed the dark, black title, I also noticed the pink headers. Pink and black go together, I'm just not sure if pink goes with the title, Damaged.

Content (9/10) - 79 links is a pretty good amount, just try to fill in some of those empty categories!

Grammar/Spelling (4/5) - It's very unlikely if I will though. - unlikely that I will
I affie also added... - I'm not sure if you're doing Roman numerals or not, but I think it's supposed to 1 affie added.

Neatness (10/10) - Very neat, I can get around the page easily, and I know what I'm reading.

Affies (4/5) - Well, 6 affies isn't too bad, but one didn't link to your site.

Updates (5/5) - You update often and keep track of them nicely.

Extra/Other (5/5) - You have a counter, that's always good, and you also have one of those things that say how many people are currently veiwing your page.(You know, those things that hate me)

Link Back Buttons (4/5) - You have a variety of buttons that are 88x31, but the rainbow one doesn't match too well.

Overall (8/10) - I liked Damaged, and would probably come back every now-and-then. Just check your affies, and try to fill in those empty categories!

Total Score: 58/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Rainbow Buttons

First look (10/10) - I love it!!! The first thing I see is the nicely matching layout and the introduction, which are both great ups.

Content(10/10) - You have a lot of button bases, which is great!(I'll probably use one for this site) You also have all the things required for requests, and a lot more.

Grammar/Spelling (5/5) - I read just about everything- I didn't read all of the updates though, there are a lot- and there were no mistakes that I saw. Good job!

Neatness (10/10) - WOW. Your site is sooo neat. I have no problem getting around, or figuring out what I'm reading. I don't think even my site is that neat.

Affies (3/5) - You have a nice amount of affies, but a few don't have you as one or have closed their site. So make sure to check for that!

Updates (5/5) - You update often, and keep track of them neatly.

Extra/Other (5/5) - You have a counter and show what directories you're listed in, a lot of people do have those, but it is something extra.

Link Back Buttons (5/5) - You have a decent amount of buttons that all match your site.

Overall (10/10) - Rainbow Buttons is a great site! I will probably come back often, and even request a button. It's a very well organized and neat site. Good job on it!

Total Score: 63/65

Congrats! You won an award!

Hopeless Thoughts

Hopeless Thoughts

First look (5/10) - The first thing I notice is the sparkly background, which is a little distracting. The other thing I notice at first glance is that it's hard to find the site name. Later, I noticed it's by the first picture. Maybe try putting at the top of the page in big text.

Content (5/10) – Well, you only have three graphics, and I can't tell which HTML goes to which picture. Try putting the HTML bellow the picture that it goes to. But the graphics aren't bad, so you've got that. And you don't have an introduction or welcome message.

Grammar/Spelling (5/5) – Well, you don't have much text, but out of the text you do have, nothing's spelled wrong.

Neatness (4/10) – The first thing I want to know when I go to your page is what I'm looking at. Like I said earlier, there's no introduction, so I'm not sure what your site is about. You don't have much of a layout, but the background matches, just a little sparkly. Also, I don't notice the title of the page right away either, and I can't figure out what HTML goes to what picture.

Affies (1/5) – It looks like you have one affie, but I couldn't easily guess that because it doesn't say anything, there's just a button on a page.

Updates (4/5) – You don't have any updates, but since your account is so young, I'm assuming you just made this page. But as your site gets bigger, make sure to add updates!

Extra/Other (5/5) – You don't really have anything extra, but most sites don't, so you won't lose any points.

Link Back Buttons (1/5) – You don't have any link back buttons, so not many people will find your site. But I'll give you one point since your site is new, and you may be working on one. If you don't know how to make one, go here to have someone make you one.

Overall (6/10) – Well, your site isn't the best right now, but if you fixed a few things, and added more graphics, Hopeless Thoughts could go a long ways. Keep trying, and good luck!
