Your layout looks amazing at first glance and everything seems very organized. All of your colors match but I can't help but feeling that there needs to be a splash of color somewhere. Maybe try editing your BIUs (bolded/italicized/underlined text) into vibrant colors, but other than that the layout still looks great!

I like the way you organized your navigation. Everything is very neat and it is impossible to get lost on your site. Good work! *high fives*

Your layout is excellent- everything is neat and the colors all match. No squinting involved. One thing that you might want to fix is your updates section. It's really just a minor organization detail that caught my eye but the section doesn't really have a title, it just starts. It's an easy fix though, I'd just add the word "Updates" with a BIU effect and you're all good!

It definitely shows that you put a lot of hard work into your site. All of your pikies are very cute, one of my favorites is the Tetris one!
In your pixels section, I tried to hover over the pixels to see if they were transparent but it didn't work. I checked for this feature using Safari, it probably works in another browser but you may want to come up with another method so Safari users can also see which pixels are transparent.

I've gazed upon pixel and blinkie sites, but never have I looked at pixkies. It's a really original idea and your Tetris pixkie is the first of it's kind that I've seen.

From everything I've seen you are a literate human being. For all I know, you could be a brainless baboon and I wouldn't be able to tell.

Nothing looks stolen and you credited people that made link back buttons. All is good.

It seems like you do well to update often but I noticed that there seemed to be a gap in your updates. It's refreshing that your updates aren't plain and boring. No one likes to read through "added 2 pixels" over and over again. You did a great job connecting with the people that visit your site and giving information. You have a variety of link back buttons and affiliates. Besides the update gap, everything is awesome.

Your site is truly amazing. I enjoyed how you explained what "pixkies" are and how you incorporated a personality into your site. All of your content exudes quality but I'd really like to see you expand your selection. Just keep working hard and it will all come in time!

Potential - 10/10 points
Your site has a lot of potential. I've given you a few minor adjustments to consider but otherwise everything is already excellent! I would definitely come back for all my pixel/blinkie needs.

Outcome... 94/100! Good job, you qualify for an award! (:

At first glance I found your site somewhat mediocre. It didn't leave me extremely impressed nor totally discouraged. There didn't really seem to be a color scheme and the background got confusing but I liked how the tables kept everything organized.
There are two things I recommend that you can do to fix this problem. First, you can either keep your current background but find a larger version of it (at least 800x600) so it doesn't tile as much or you can change your background into a tileable image. A tileable image is an image that is meant to be repeated and tile. Therefore it tiles without creating sloppy lines where the image repeats. I decided to make you a Nightmare Before Christmas themed background image (I noticed you like the movie). They have Jack on them with a colored background that may brighten up your page a bit. (:

YES! You have page anchors! Page anchors are essential to a site as large as yours. *high fives*

Your layout is very organized but it's kind of overwhelming. One thing that you may need to work on is your color scheme. Along with the previous comments about the backgrounds under my "Impact" section, adding BIUs (bold/italics/underline text effects) and changing the color/style of your font could instantly transform your page! A good font that I use in some of my layouts is "Georgia". It's easy to read and adds variety to the typical page with "Times New Roman" font.
Here's the code for changing BIUs (just put this in between your style tags and edit!):

You have a TON of icons. Not only do you have a lot but you have a really good variety. There is no way someone could scrape up a site like yours in five minutes. Good job!

Novelty - 8/10 points
What separates your site from other icon sites is your personality. You've put your own personal stamp on your site- just from being there and reading what you had to say I felt like I already knew you. You seem like a very nice person but a site can't stand solely on personality. All your site needs is a layout boost with a little extra oomph and you'll be going places.

Barely any mistakes here! -thumbs up-
One thing I did notice was that you spelled "category" wrong (you have "catagory", I'm not taking any points off for this though because it's such a minor detail and I almost made the same mistake just now). The error is near the top under the section that says something like "The Current Contents of this Page are as Follows:". Tiny fix (; .

You have updates, affiliates, link back buttons and you're listed in directories, which is all great; however, you don't really have a variety of link back buttons. You have variety size wise but they are all the same theme. Plus you only have one of each size. Try getting some more link back buttons so you can give the people that use your page a greater variety to choose from.

Reflections - 7/10 points
You have a great site with a lot of icons but your layout can get overwhelming. Besides some points I've mentioned before, it may also be beneficial to put the contents of each category into DIVs (scroll boxes) so your page doesn't become too overwhelming.

Potential - 7/10 points
I think you've definitely got the potential to go far, you just need to work on presentation a bit! Play around with your layout and show off all you've got. Right now your layout distracts from all the beautiful icons your site has to offer. You've put a ton of work into your icons so make sure your layout does them justice!

Outcome... 83 / 100!
