HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, ICU!(:

Welcome

That's right, when I say "I.C.U." I mean, I've seen your site. You're thinking, Wow. Uh... creepy much? The answer is, no... not really. I believe most site owners are happy to hear that people are viewing their site, so why should this be any different?

What is ICU exactly? Well, exactly, it is a site created by the Lovely Jayy that is a lose version of a review site. Basically, when Jayy get's bored she looks around at other people's sites to see who has really awesome sites out there. Believe it or not, I actually like looking at people's sites and viewing their content and blogs. Some may say that equals no life... and I would have to agree.

I got a neomail saying... yeah, you probably did get a neomail along the lines of "You've been spotted". I just wanted to let you know. You can read up more about it at the rules.

Rules

001. Kind words. No hate mail. No meaness.
002. If you don't want your review up, neomail me and let me know... since you got it without asking for it.
003. Remember that these are my personal opinions. Don't feel like your site isn't good enough or is the best ever solely because of what I say.
004. Take my suggestions or ditch them, whichever works best for you.
005. Linking? I'd appreciate it if you linked back to me if i spot your site, but I'm not requiring that you do. (I have however made cute little buttons for you to use if you so choose.)
006. If we're affies, you DO have to link back.
007. No stealing any content (including the layout) from this site unless you want to post your review on your site... in which case it isn't stealing, because I give you permission.
008. Don't take awards that aren't meant for you.
009. And definitely don't break any of the afformentioned rules or I'll have to report you and put you up on the wall of shame... and that's not fun for anyone.

Oh, and btw Did I mention that I would REALLY appreciate it if you linked back? That would be awesome!

F.A.Q.

Questions that I have been asked, so I will share the answers with all of you.

How do you go about spotting your sites? Like I said above, it's mostly random. I like to pick sites that have been updated recently though... if you haven't updated your site since April.... 2009... well, I don't want to waste my time giving the site a thorough run through when the owner has left neo. I usually look to see that it's been updated in the past week or 2. Also, what get's me to the site (besides seeing you on your affie's list) is a really awesome button.
Why did you stop rating sites? Because this site is about suggestions, not scores. I added the rating so that people would have something to post like they do with other review sites, but then I remembered that I'm NOT "other review sites". This isn't a contest, it's me helping... or at least attempting to =p
I was just about to change my site around, can you re-review me? Yeah... I guess so. You have to remember that I do this whenever I'm bored and am glancing around from site to site. I hate feeling forced to have to do anything. So it's not that I have a problem with looking at your new setup, I just don't like being forced to do it. (same reason why I don't take requests)
Can you make me a site layout like this? No. I only make layouts for my friends anyway... but no. I like having my layout like this... I think it's original. So why would I help you make my layout unoriginal?
So you say I should change this, can you give me specifics? It depends. I think mostly, though, you can figure out how to change something on your own... I don't own your site, I just make suggestions on it, and most of the time they're pretty thorough suggestions. You should be able to fill in the rest, but if I'm unclear, feel free to ask.
What are your pet peeves? I tend to harp on these things a lot when I am spotting a site. When viewing a site layout it bugs me when a) the page side scrolls or the text areas side scroll. b) there are borders around image links. c) the layout doesn't fit onto my page.
I don't like having my site reviewed... ok, whatever. If you want me to take down the review then you have to specifically tell me that, don't assume that just because you send me a neomail back saying "i don't get my site reviewed" that I will take it down. Please ask me, "Will you please take my review down". If you want to add more to it, that's fine... but that's all I need. If I don't get that, it's not coming down.
My site is still new... Yes, be that as it may, I still gave you suggestions on it. To me, it doesn't matter how old your site is. No matter what stage it's in (be it one day old or 1 year old) there are still changes that can happen and suggestions I can make. Just because I give you a list of things I would change does not mean I think you are incompetent or that I do not understand that your site is still new and that you are working on things, rather, it means that this is how I would personally make the site better. You might have been planning that already or not, I don't know. I simply give you my opinion.
Can you introduce me to Lauren? No.
Who's Lauren? One of my best friends. She helps me with a lot of my sites and life... haha.
Oh... well why not? Because she is awesome, and too cool for you. haha. jk. If you really WANTED me to, I could... but I don't see why you couldn't just neomail her yourself. Love you Laur(:
