First Impression: I'm greeted by a serene layout that calms me, but the background is plain. Maybe make it a pale shade of blue? 14/15
Layout/Organization: Your site's theme is lovely. As I mentioned above, the layout is soothing – although the background is a simple, boring shade of white. Try a color that matches with the color scheme. The text boxes are a bit bright - use a shade of blue that's slightly paler. I love the colors you used – but the blue used when you hover over the navigation is a bit dark. Lighten it up a bit. Finally, I think you should have a link on the navigation to your welcome page. Either that, or make your "Back to the Florist" button a bit more noticeable. I had trouble redirecting back to your welcome page until I discovered that pixel. 16/20
Content: Your buttons have certainly improved since you first started your site. The older ones don't look the best, but your newer ones look nice. Your site is a perfect example of how practice makes perfect. I love the buttons you made for Amnesia and Hush. The idea of naming your button borders after flowers is very original. You have a nice selection of button bases as well. I like how you can "grab" button bases – that idea is very creative. Your icons look great – although some of the text on them is a bit too small. 30/30
Sitely: Ooh, you have a sister site! All your affies are high – quality, and you have a good number of them. You're listed at many directories, and you've been reviewed at quite a few sites. All your link backs look great – and I'm happy to see you have made all of them. My only complaint is of the counter – the border used on it doesn't cover the entire background image. That's not very major though – so I won't take off any points for that. 20/20
Spelling/Grammar: At first glance, I didn't see any errors. However, when I looked a bit deeper into your site, I found some minor capitalization and punctuation mistakes. For example - This concept sprung into my head one day and I thought, let's put it into action! should be This concept sprung into my head one day and I thought, "Let's put it into action!" There are a small amount of capitalization errors – try going through your entire site and clearing any mistakes. However, I couldn't find any spelling errors, and all your sentences made sense. 4/5
Originality: The Florist – I love the theme and idea. Heh, I think I've seen too many button request sites. Your buttons do look pretty nice though, so I won't take points off for that. Many of your ideas are creative and original. 10/10
Final Thoughts: Your site has the potential to be a great one – keep at it! There's room for improvement, but your site has definitely progressed since it first began. I suggest going through and cleaning up the minor grammar errors and layout. Overall, though, your site is lovely. I'm sure I'll be returning to your site soon!
Total: 94/100 – a 94%. Great job, Sophia! Go claim your award under the "awards" section!

First Impression: Your site appears to be very detailed and in – depth, and I'm provoked to look on. The beautiful banner certainly caught my eye. You may want to make your welcome message a bit more descriptive. 15/15
Layout/Organization: The banner is absolutely gorgeous – Cass really has outdone herself! Your layout is very organized and looks pretty nice. It's easy to navigate. Maybe tone down the background just a bit – it's a tad bright. Also, the red on your italics clashes with the color scheme. The "news" box isn't aligned that well, although it could be my browser. It's a bit of a pain to scroll through all your items. Finally, the "Landmarks" section doesn't fit what the category holds that well. I can see how it ties in with the content in that section, but it seems slightly misleading. 17/20
Content: Your guide is extremely helpful and informative. I remember when you first started your guide – it's definitely improved since then. You may want to include a little map of Faerieland to show where the Plushie can be found. I do like how you include "avvie item" and "wearable" next to some of the items. Otherwise, great job! Keep adding more items to your guide! 30/30
Sitely: Your affies certainly matches the quality of your site, although you don't have too many. Good quality affiliates aren't too easy to find these days though. You're listed in quite a lot of directories. You are a frequent updater, and most of your link backs look great. I don't see a counter though – "Poogle" boingdragon to get your own. 19/20
Spelling/Grammar: Nope, no mistakes as far as I can see. Good job! 5/5
Originality: Hush – simple, but doesn't exactly relate to the site. Your guide is very creative – it sprung up not too long after the debut of the Plushie. I haven't really seen many guides on the Discarded Grundo Plushie, so extra points for that. 9/10
Final Thoughts: Your site is very useful, and it's a great resource to all Neopians. I really don't see any major problems – keep up the good work!
Total: 95/100 – a 95%! Great job! Go pick up your award!

Nov. 17th, 2009

First Impression: The clever pirate theme and attention – grabbing banner certainly caught my eye. ;) You seem to have listed a great number of sites, and I'm tempted to look further into your directory. 15/15
Layout/Organization: The layout is very spiffy and neat, and you organized your site very well. It's very easy to navigate, and the pirate theme is very original. The colors come together nicely. I can easily find what I'm looking for – well done! 20/20
Content: Your directory has a large number of sites listed. You provide a featured site and even include a "newest sailor". It's obvious you try hard to maintain your site - you check broken links often and even ask others if they want their site listed. Effort shines throughout your directory. I really can't think of anything to suggest– it's perfect the way it is. Keep up the good work, and continue listing sites! 30/30
Sitely: All your affies are high – quality, and you seem to have a good number of them. You're listed in many directories, and you update daily. All your link backs look great – you have quite a lot of spiffy buttons to choose from! 20/20
Spelling/Grammar: You are a very literate person – I couldn't find any mistakes. You refrain from overusing smileys, and hardly used any chatspeak. Great job! 5/5
Originality: Soroptimist Directory. I love its inspiration – it fits your site perfectly. Although I've seen many directories, yours is definitely one of the best out there. The number of sites you have listed certainly sets you apart from other directories. 10/10
Final Thoughts: To be honest, I couldn't find anything needing improvement with your directory. You try hard to maintain it, and it shows. I've always loved your site, and I even have it bookmarked. Keep up the great work, Cass! I've added two extra points, just because your directory is so helpful and awesome. ^^

First Impression: The layout appears organized, but the background image doesn't stretch to cover my entire screen. The colors match nicely, and the slogan is cute and clever. ^^ 14/15
Layout/Organization: I'll begin with the good parts. The layout is adorable, yet the background image doesn't cover the entire screen. I may be a bit picky about this, but the main scrollbox seems slightly larger than it should be. The scrollbar is sticking out of the table. There is no navigation to each of the categories. The sidebar should be wider. I can't see the links clearly – lighten the color up a bit. 13/20
Content: You have an acceptable number of sites listed – but there could be more. Here's a tip – try to find sites and ask if they'd like to be listed at your directory. Don't wait for others to come ask you – ask! Also, another suggestion is to have all your links open up in a new window. Add target="_blank" after the link. This way, others won't have to click the "back" button to return to your directory. 27/30
Sitely: First of all, you don't have an updates section. Every site should have an update box. In an update box, visitors will know when something major happens to your site, when you add a new affie, etc. Also, get a counter that shows how many visitors are online_ "Poogle" Whos Amung Us to get one.You don't have a lot of affies, although most of them are high – quality. You're listed in many sites – great job! Most of your link backs look nice. 17/20
Spelling/Grammar: I see several spelling mistakes and a few grammatical errors as well. To begin with, "Welcome to Starlight Directory daybirth!" should be "Welcome to Starlight Directory, daybirth!" "We moved over here because its IMPOSSIBLE for me to update my hissi page, if you would like to see why click here." should be "We moved over to Kaciama's petpage because I can't update my Hissi's page anymore. If you would like to see why, click here." On your rules, you spelled "please" "plz". Never use chatspeak on sites – it can be aggravating to visitors. Some of your rules don't have periods at the end. 2/5
Originality: Starlight Directory – simple yet sweet. It's a little boring though. I've seen many directories, and nothing about yours sets it apart from the rest of them. 7/10
Final Thoughts: Your site could use some improvements. Work on getting more sites listed, and improve your layout a bit. Do a spelling/grammar check. Remember to look through a visitor's perspective!
Total: 80/100, or an 80%. Good job! There's room for improvement, but your site has the potential to become a great one. Go pick up your award! ^-^

First Impression: The blue used on the tables and doesn't match with the banner. :( Your site appears in – depth though, and looks very professional. 12/15
Layout/Organization: The layout is very organized, yet it could use some work. First of all, the banner doesn't go with the blue on the table color. Try making the blue slightly darker. Your updates are difficult to read because of the background on the blog. Change the text to bold or simply make a div box. Put your affies/listed at into a scrollbox. The credit should come last, after all your affies, listed at, reviews, and awards. 15/20
Content: Your site is one of the best dailies sites I've ever seen. It's detailed, helpful, and very in – depth. I love how you give the answer to the Faerie Crossword and Daily Puzzle. Your site seems to be going great, keep up the good work! Only suggestion - have all your links open up in a new window. Add target="_blank" after your URL. 30/30
Sitely: Most of your link backs look nice. You're listed in quite a number of directories. You have a good number of affies, but not all of them are high quality. You also update very frequently. ^^ I don't see a counter anywhere – I suggest searching BoingDragon with your search engine. 17/20
Spelling/Grammar: I couldn't find any mistakes at all. Great job! 5/5
Originality: There aren't that many good dailies sites anymore. I'm pretty shocked – your content amazed me! The name of your site isn't the best, but then again I see many sites named ______ Screenies, ______ Graphics, etc. 10/10
Final Thoughts: I love your site! I haven't come across many good dailies sites anymore. I'd suggest cleaning up the layout a bit. Keep up the good work! I award you 2 extra points for great content. (:
Total: 91/100, or a 91%. Great job! Pick up your award!

First Impression: The banner is eye - catching, and the colors match well with it. It's a bit bright though. ;) 14/15
Layout/Organization: Overall, the layout seems very organized and neat. As I mentioned earlier, the banner is very attractive, but some may find it bright. The black on your layout clashes with the blue a bit. Some people prefer to have their updates in the sidebar (like me) but having it in the main column is acceptable. I'd also suggest making a separate section for requests, and not squeezing them into your welcome page. The blogs would be better off under "graphics". 17/20
Content: Your site has quite a lot to offer! Your userlookups are lovely. I love the Blue Xweetok one! You don't have too many petpages, but the ones you have up look really nice. ^^ The blogs are gorgeous, but try using different images. Most of your icons look decent. Your adoptables are pretty cute – work on adding more species. 29/30
Sitely: You only have one link back to offer, and it doesn't look that great. Try requesting a button from Buttoness, TGB, or In This Moment. You don't have too many affies, and some of them are low – quality. Try getting listed at more sites - Soroptimist Directory is a great directory. You don't update much – I understand real life is far more important than Neopets, but you should update each time you complete a request, add another affie, etc. 13/20
Spelling/Grammar: You are fairly literate, and I couldn't find many mistakes. The only thing that bugged me was this sentence – "Because sadly "STUDY FOR EXAMS" comes before Neopets." It should be "Sadly, studying for exams comes before Neopets." But that's just me being picky, so I won't take points off for that. You overuse smileys a bit. Smileys are fine in conversations, but shouldn't be used too often in sites and such. 4/5
Originality: Spark… simple, yet attention – grabbing. I also like how you incorporated "Sienetta's Premades" into the site name. Your userlookups are very original – I hardly ever see such high – quality premades these days. 10/10
Final Thoughts: Overall, your site is very nice. You may want to go through an affie sweep, get a few more link backs, and try to be a bit more active.
Total: 88/100. An 88%! Great job… go pick up your spiffy award! ^^

First Impression: Your layout appears to be organized, although it's a tad bit plain. Nothing strange pops out at me. 14/15
Layout/Organization: As I mentioned earlier, the layout is very organized. I also love the background. ^^ However, the layout in general is rather plain. Maybe incorporate your site's name into the background, since there isn't room for a banner? You also might want to provide a preview for your userlookups, so users won't have to try out all the codes trying to find what they want. 17/20
Content: I tried out the two lookups you currently have up. ^^ They both look great, although I think the brown used when you hover over the navigation on the Springtime one should be a little paler. Also, the navigation isn't aligned correctly. You don't have too many lookups, but that's fine as your site is still pretty new. Overall, though, they look pretty nice. Keep adding more! (: 27/30
Sitely: You have a good number of link backs, and all of them look very nice. You don't have too many affies, but most of them are high – quality sites. Also, try getting listed at other sites – The Faerie Compass is a great directory. Try getting a counter - "poogle" BoingDragon. 18/20
Spelling/Grammar: You are a very literate person, and I couldn't find any errors. Great job! 5/5
Originality: The Fantasy of Lapis Lazulli. It's a bit long and hard to remember. I've seen other premade sites, and yours isn't too different from the others. However, I don't really see any sites that take userlookup requests anymore, so extra points for that. ^^ 7/10
Final Thoughts: Your layouts are fantastic, and I think your site will be a hit! Keep adding more userlookups, and work on improving them!
Total: 89/100 – an 89%. Great work! Go pick up your award – you deserve it! ^^

First Impression: Your layout appears to be organized. The banner at the top matches well with the layout, but it's a little plain. The background is eye – catching but not distracting. I see a good number of adoptables. 15/15
Layout/Organization: Ah, two columned layouts! It makes everything look so much neater. And look – there's a navigation! However, the sidebar is a bit large. Stretch the main table a little. I like the color scheme, but you should include a little more green in it. I did notice that your request form is rather hard to find. The sidebar is also a bit disorganized. The updates should be after the navigation. Link backs should be placed under where the updates are supposed to go. THEN come to affies/listed and "My Sites". Because of your high number of affies, you should make a separate div box for listed ats. Updates should be in a scrollbox. Finally, your rules should be in a separate section. 14/20
Content: Your adoptables are absolutely adorable! I can tell you worked hard on them. You may want to make them transparent so that a white space doesn't show up behind the adoptable when you place them on a colored background. 29/30
Sitely: Some of your affies are not very high quality. I recommend limiting your affies to high quality sites in the future. A few of your link backs only say "Adoptables". Anyone using that link back would not know the name of the site. In addition, some of your link backs don't look that great.You should also add a counter. "Poogle" boingdragon to get your own. 16/20
Spelling/Grammar: There are a few minor mistakes. For example, under the rules you wrote As all of you know, no copying my adoptables.. Instead of that, you should put Please do not copy my adoptables or claim them as your own. A few of your updates are not capitalized. 3/5
Originality: The name isn't all that original. I've seen many sites with the name _______ Screenies, _______ Graphics, and such. Your adoptables are amazing and much more high quality than many I've seen, but you should add something to jazz it up a bit and make them stand out. 7/10
Final Thoughts: Your adoptables are cute, but the sidebar needs to be cleaned up a bit. Go through your site and fix any spelling/grammar errors. I'd also go through an affie sweep and clear the sites that aren't as high quality as yours.
Total: 84/100. That's an 84%. Good job! There's room for improvement, but you still earned a great score. Go pick up your award under the "awards" section.
