You stroll down the walkway quietly. The night time peace was disturbed suddenly by a strong wind, forcing the fallen leaves from the maple tree. Blinded by the dozens of decayed leaves, you shut your eyes. As you open them, a gruff but kind looking pteri comes down from the tree and greets you warmly. He said but one sentence: Welcome to The Maple Tree.Updates:

I have to say that I'm not a big fan of your layout :( I've seen a lot worse, but I feel that the quality should be better. Consider getting a premade. I know lots of good premade sites, so feel free to ask me. I have some problems with your navigation. One, you don't actually have that type of "anchored petpage" that more professional layouts do, and two, I mistake the "future lookie" and other stuff for the actual navigation, like Takler's story and other stuff that the reader will care about. The image on the side isn't exactly the best quality either. However, all your links work terrificly :)
In your introduction, you don't have a header. Consider putting a header saying "welcome" or something of the sort :) When you put up ANY image that has a white background, consider making the white transparent. The white square doesn't clash nicely with your background. Your story is good, just add a space before the here when you link to the rest of the story. It's great how you show the future customization. Your about me is fine, I suppose and your art is great.
Overall, you had plenty of mistakes. There's lots of room for improvement. In some parts, I'm not sure if you were very thorough and in some parts, I got a little tired. I give you a 65%

layout: Your layout isn't BAD, but I think you should consider a different background. I believe that the background is the main problem. Above, where it says "Dance, like your life depends on it", the text is a little too simple. Try decorating it or removing it all together. Navigation is a little awkward. The only part I don't like is the spaces between each letter. Also, you need to center everything on EACH page. Everything is aligned to the left.
content: Like I said earlier, center all your text. Also consider decorating it. Now, I'm not saying make it bright orange with curly font :P, just change the font style. A simple calibri would be fine. Again, on other content like the story and the likes and dislikes, decorate the font a little. Also add an extra space between the story and the likes and dislikes on the dance page. For links and bolds, consider decorating that as well.
You seem to have fixed all your mistakes. Your content is excellent. You just need to work on your layout and the overall physical appearance. I give you a: 85%
