The Galactic Files
November 14, 2009 First Thought I first see a site with a boring layout, yet I really would like to stay and look around. :) 9/10 Work Layout Your layout is pretty boring..nothing really special. The banner is cool, but it doesn't have the name of your site on it. Also, it's a little confusing: Your site has a white scrollbar. It's pretty hard to scroll down with it. The space images beside your text really spice it up though! :) 18/20 Work Content Your guide is pretty helpful and is perfect for a new site owner. Great job! 30/30 Spelling and Grammer No errors! Great! 10/10 Organization It would be nice if you have some type of navigation for each phrase. Some people like to skip phrases that they already know about. Also, it would be great if you had a "To the top" link after each phrase. It would make it easier to go to the top. Other then that, it's pretty organized. :) 9/10 Updates You don't really need an updates section in your guide, but it would be nice to know what has been updated lately. 3/5 Title of Work An interesting and original name. Great! 5/5 Orginality I love the cool agent theme! Pretty unique! XD +1 bonus point for having a theme! 6/5 Workly First, you might want to put your reviews, affies, listings, etc, apart from each other. It's hard to know which sites are your affies and what sites you are listed at. *whispers* Cavity is closed... *cough* Anyways, you have one link button. It's great, since it was made by TGB, but only one. Try to get at least two or three buttons, just for more variety. :) Only two points taken off, since I couldn't tell who your affies were, etc. 3/5 Total Points: 93/100 or 93%, an A! Pick up an award below!
Seabreeze Analysis
November 11, 2009 First Thought First, I see a site with a very boring layout. A banner doesn't invite me, the background is a bit too bright, and I don't feel welcomed. 5/10 Work Layout Hmmm..your two columned layout was better than this. As I mentioned above, this layout doesn't have a banner and is very plain and boring. Also, there isn't a form of navigation. You have a lot of content within your site, so you might need some nvaigation later on. So much blue! Sure, when you think "ocean", the colors are automatically blue. However, there's more. Think of the colors of the coral reef; pink, orange, purple, the green sea-grass, etc. If you get a banner, try to have colors that reflect the banner. Lastly, the background really stands out. A soft blue would be a bit easy on the eyes. 10/20 Work Content Where are your old reviews? You know, the past reviews with the past layout? If I didn't know better, I'd say you only reviewed three sites. If you accidently deleted your old reviews, you might want to put a note, so people will know that you've reviewed more than three sites. Anyways, your reviews are pretty good. I love the idea of a visual review! *is jealous* I just have one question: In all of your reviews, you have the button to the site being reviewed, and two links: visit and owner. Why would you need the visit link if you can click the button above? Doesn't really make sense to me. XD 26/30 Spelling and Grammer No errors! Great! 10/10 Organization Let's see...When you review more sites, you might want to put all of your reviews in a giant scroll box, just to make some room. Of course, sort the visual reviews from the written reviews. The rules section is very cluttered. Try to align your rules to the left. It'd be cuter if you had little sea shells as your bullets. ^___^ 8/10 Updates It took me a while to find your updates section. Sadly, you do the daily update. It's really hard to grade those, since I can't see your past updates. :/ 3/5 Title of Work Seabreeze Analysis...an original name. :) 5/5 Orginality Nothing is really original. The names of your headers are unique, since they're water related. There are many water-related pixels out there, so you could jazz your site up that way. 2/5 Workly You have a couple of nice, high quality, affies; which is good. :) The buttons are good, you're listed at a couple of sites, and you have many awards. (Reviewers Inc. is closed by the way). 5/5 Total Points: 74/100 or 74%, a C. Your site did not win an award. Sorry! Come back for a re-review anytime! Note: I have been told that the review wasn't fair, and I admit: it isn't fair. I missed out on some little parts in the site. Re-review coming soon!
Tiffy's Pixels
November 11, 2009 First Thought I see a color scheme that is blue, blue, gray, and purple. In the banner, there are several different colors (in the little house). A good color scheme is maybe pink, blue, brown, and green. Try using those colors around your site. :3 Other than that, Tiffy's Pixels had a pretty good first thought. :) 9/10 Work Layout The banner is cute, but it clashes with the background. It has little blue stripes on it, while the background is plaid. Either the banner should have a plain blue background or the background should be plain blue. Also, the banner at the top doesn't really align with your layout. Only a little bit of the banner is hanging off, so it's not a big deal. Next, the layout is, well, okay. On my computer, the main column doesn't seem to end (no bottom). It's probably just my computer. XP 18/20 Work Content Your pixels are pretty good. The slorgs are adorable! ^___^ The resources are okay, but you need more! Everyone seems to be looking for high quality resources these days. 28/30 Spelling and Grammer No errors! Great! 10/10 Organization Everything is organized, since everything is in it's own little section. Great! 10/10 Updates The longest time you've gone without updating is about three days. Not bad at all! 5/5 Title of Work Tiffy's Pixels..not an original name. It's just your name in front of the word pixels. Easy to understand, though. 3/5 Orginality Nothing is really that original. Every pixel sites seems to pixel hearts, slorgs, popsicles, ice cream, apples, candy, and balloons. Try to add your own flare to your pixles. Maybe pixel something unique; like a computer or something. The sky's the limit to pixeling! 3/5 Workly You have a bunch of link buttons to choose from, some pixel affies, non-pixel affies, etc. Here's a little tip: At the reviewed by section, it'd be good to put the score that you made at each review. Some people like to know the grades. :3 4/5 Total Points: 90/100 or 90%, a B! Pick up an award below!
In This Moment
November 8, 2009 First Thought First, the color scheme is calm and cool. Pretty easy on the eyes, but a little boring. Try bringing out the soft red, blue, and maybe even purple that are in your banner. The banner looks pretty good, but it doesn't really align with the width of your layout. I'm probably really picky right now, but it looks weird how your columns have a gray border, but your banner has a black border. 9/10 Work Layout Cool, you made the layout. ^_^ As I mentioned before, the banner doesn't really align with your layout. It's a bit boring, just the color scheme, but I like it. 18/20 Work Content Your buttons are awesome! The button for Emily's CSS is amazing! I've seen some of the button borders before; but borders eight, twelve, fourteen are pretty unique. Also, your buttons are becoming pretty popular too. ^__^ 29/30 Spelling and Grammer No errors! Great! 10/10 Organization Once again, I'm probably picky, but your sitely section should be in your sidebar, the updates should be under the navigation, and the rules should be in the main column. Also, when you make more buttons, you should put the pickups in a scroll box, to make some space. Other than that, your site is pretty organized. However, if you do leave your sitely information in the main column (which is no problem), it would be good to put the scores of your reviews. Just have a little roll-over code, so people can view your scores. :) 9/10 Updates The longest time you've gone without updating is about three days. Not bad at all! 5/5 Title of Work In This Moment is an interesting name that fits your site. :) 5/5 Orginality Your buttons are unique and original! As I mentioned in the content section, try to make some unique button borders of your own; the sky's the limit. ^__^ 4/5 Workly Your link buttons are great, since you made them. I also love your Kimmi doll. Wow, those are popular these days. ^__^ You have a bunch of affies, you're listed at a bunch of sites, and over 5 sites have reviewed you. Great job! 5/5 Total Points: 94/100 or 94%, an A! Grab an award below!
Futago
November 7, 2009 First Thought I like the layout: Easy to navigate and the banner is cool. It's really hard to read the text in the boxes though. No, the text isn't too small, it's the color. The orange header in the suggestion box really stands out. Also, your links look like the underlined text. I spent five minutes clicking on underlined text, thinking it was a link. XD I really like how original your layout is. Instead of having the usually two columned layout, you changed it up to several different boxes. :) 9/10 Work Layout I love the texture of the layout; it looks like crinkled paper. :) The links at the top aren't centered in the little box; part of it hangs over. The colors around your site are just different shades of blue, some light purple, and purple text areas. In the banner image, there are millions of different colors that could be scattered around your site. Other than that, I love it. Oh, and one last thing: The Neopets banner at the top really ruins your layout. I'm not sure what the code is to remove it, but it's probably easy to find. 17/20 Work Content Your buttons are amazing, your user-lookups are awesome, and your resources are great. It's high quality and cute! ^___^ I love your stamps; so original! The icons are great, but some aren't. For example: The last icon in the Bleach section could use some work, along with the sixth icon in the Howl's Moving Castle section. The rest of your icons are great! However, you need some more in some other sections, like Ouran High School Host Club. I'm a huge OHSHC fan, by the way. :) 29/30 Spelling and Grammer In the resource section, you keep spelling pixel, pixle, about eight times. Other than that, I didn't see any other errors.10/10 Organization Everything is so organized in it's own little section.Great job! ^_^ 10/10 Updates The longest time you've gone without updating is about four days. Not bad! 5/5 Title of Work Interesting name; original and catchy. *chants* Futagooooo... 5/5 Orginality Let's see...The layout is original, the name is original, the content is original, everything is original! Great! 5/5 Workly Your buttons are awesome, all made by you, except for the button by The Goodie Box. You have many awards and have scored exceptionally at reviews. I love the little pictures you drew on your fanmail!5/5 Total Points: 95/100 or 95%, A+! Grab an award below! ^_^
Zeroed In
November 1, 2009 First Thought The first thing I see is an anime person with a weapon. You might want to be careful with that; some younger Neopets site owner people might freak out. ;) I like how everything is organized. It took me a little bit to figure out where the links were. XD Heheh. 8/10 Work Layout The layout is fine, but not for a directory. It looks like it should be the layout for a graphics site or something. Most directories these days have either two, three, or one columned layouts. It's easier to navigate around simple layouts. The colors around your site are a bit bland. Maybe add some more red and purple in your bold or links. The text at the top (Vampire Night), should probably be changed; it doesn't really make sense. The only thing that tells me the name of your site is that little header. 16/20 Work Content 134 sites listed. Hmm..compared to other sirectories across Neopets, that's a little bit below average. Also, instead of having a little squiggle (~) to the recommended sites, why not make it prettier and add, maybe a star pixel. It would make it stand out from the links. You should also list some more sites. Some directories ask people if they can list their site. That's actually a good idea; it can help you get more publicity. If you keep working on adding some links, your site will grow. 24/30 Spelling and Grammer No errors! Great! 10/10 Organization The top part of your site is pretty organized; yet the link section needs some help. As I mentioned before, your layout doesn't really work for a directory. I don't really like how the links are centered. It would look a lot nicer and more organized if you had the links aligned to the left. Of course, you couldn't view them, so that's also why the layout doesn't work. Other then that, it's pretty organized. Your affies, listed at, reviews/awards, etc, have their own cute little box. 8/10 Updates Ohemgee! *bounces* You update every day! :) 5/5 Title of Work Zeroed In..sounds cool. You want to "zero in" for a great site. 5/5 Orginality Hmm..nothing is really original. Your site doesn't really stand out from the other directories around. 3/5 Workly Your buttons are pretty cool. Most are animated though. You have a bunch of affies and you're listed at a bunch of sites. I've noticed that you don't have a counter. :( Counters are great, since you can show off how many page views you have. ;D Try getting one at boingdragom*dot*com for free. :) 4/5 Total Points: 83/100 or 83%, C+. Two points away from an award! Sorry! Come back anytime for a re-review.

Updates
November 21: We have a new top affie: Fight for Finesse! Reviews are still closed, sadly. Today is Delete Some Affies day. I will only accept high quality affies. Please don't cry if I deleted you. I mailed the affies that I deleted. I think I forgot to mail some affies though. :/ November 15: Happy Birthday Neopets! November 14: Changed up the review form a bit. Now, your site has to be over 2 months old and you must put the secret word. Ooooo! I am looking for school related pixels to put around the site..maybe some pencils, notebooks, etc. :3 Update Top Affies too. Since Overlooked is a sister site, it doesn't really count as a top affie. :) November 13: Friday the 13th! :O Watch out for black cats and ladders people! Anyways, I'm being a bit, well, too tough on my reviews. Maybe that's why reviews are slower. *thinks* +1 site added to the waiting list. :) November 11-Later: That update below wasn't site related! :O Sorry! I reviewed Tiffy's Pixels and Seabreeze. Two new affies have joined the Get School'd family! Once again, I'm going through my affies. Those who haven't updated in a while or are low quality are gone! I might actually be closing affie requests later..Also, there are some low quality buttons in my affies section. I'll make a few gift buttons here and there. ^___^ Two sites are on review hold. One site has a layout that doesn't show up in my browser, and another accidently deleted it's coding. Reviews are open! November 11: No school! I added the anti-virus to my computer, and guess what? It's slower! *pouts* I'll have to use my slow laptop again..my sister is on my dad's desktop. November 10: Well..my dad ruined my computer. He accidently deleted the anti-virus system. So I'm stuck on the family computer. No school tomorrow! Anyways, I'll try to review today and tomorrow. I meant to close reviews yesterday, but I forgot. Forbidden City is removed from the waiting list. The owner asked to be reviewed later. No problemo! November 9, 2009: My dad took my computer for more memory..so I'm on his desktop. ^__^ Anyways, a couple of sites added to the waiting list, so reviews will be closed soon! I can't review, since it's on my computer, so I will tomorrow. November 8, 2009: One site added to the waiting list. :) Affie requests are open, if you have a high quality site. Get School'd reached over 3000 page views today! November 7, 2009-Later: Yes, I updated twice in one day. Okay, I'm bored. Reviewed Futago, so reviews are open for a little bit. Reviews will close when there are at least seven sites on the waiting list. I will try to review some sites tomorrow. :) Warning: I am deleting some low quality, non-active affies. If you were deleted, I'm sorry! November 7, 2009: Yay! New layout! It looks just like the first layout. You like? I love this layout 100% moe than the other one. The other layout was okay, but it was hard to update it. This layout is simple, but I love it. ^_^ As you can probably see, Get School'd is off it's little hiatus. Remember Cavity, my old directory? Well, it's coming back! Woohoo!

Saturday, November 21: Sings: Frosty the Snowman Long time no update, eh? My mom thinks I'm obsessed with Neopets..I'm only allowed to go on for an hour a day. I'm going to move this blog to another place, just to make some more space. Oh, and I want to announce something. You know how I'm called Kitty? There's another Kitty who owns an awesome review site too. Some people call me Star too. There's another Star who owns an awesome review site also. So, I want to be called..Adrienne. That's my name. I don't think there's another Adrienne that owns an awesome review site. However, you may still call me Kitty is it makes you happy. XD
Sunday, November 15: Sings: My Paper Heart: The A.A. Rejects Happy Birthday Neopets! ^____^ Get School'd is going on a little hiatus yet again. 
Saturday, November 14: Sings: One Time: Justin Bieber Nothing really new today. It's still early in the morning. I'm thinking of adding more to Get School'd, besides reviews. Maybe a Top Reviewers section. Or, and Offical Teacher Section (offical reviewers), like I had in Reviewers Inc. Hmmm..What do you think, guest? Anyways, I'm still working on my directory. When I get some buttons, I'll try to finish it. Now, back to Get School'd. I'm looking for some school related pixels to put around the site. For example, instead of posting a link that says, "Send it here!", it could be a pencil or whatever. Also, a class pet would be nice. Oh, and fanmail! *grins* I found the icon at Iconator-dotty-comm.
Friday, November 13: Sings: Don't Trust Me: 3OH!3 Yay! The blog is back! I'm not sure why the blog actually left. :/ School was okay today..We had to play Speed-ball during PE (physical education), and I had to play twice. I only stood there..Hmm, maybe that's why I'm not doing well in PE. *cough* Anyways, you know how I sometimes talk waaaaaaay to much about GS in the updates section? Well, too bad! XD *evil laughter* Today, I drew this awesome picture of an anime character in my book, Yotsuba&, volume 2. I saw a picture of it and decided to copy it. No, I didn't trace it..gosh. If my dumb camera works, I'll try to put the picture here!!! Yeah! Also, in reviews, I might be adding random bonus points! Yeah x2!
