11/08/09- One new affiliate, Moonsong Reviews. I plan on making a new layout. Probably going to stick with the same colors or stick with using flowers here and there. Requests will stayed closed. I want to get some graphics up on Dark Light. Check out my blog for what's going on in my life. Sometimes life just gets in the way with my sites.
11/06/09- Hehe. It's been a while since I've updated, huh? ^^; Sorry about that. Requests are still closed. I am, however, taking appraisals on Rave. So if you want an overall view of your site, check that out. I don't know when I'll open requests up again. Right now I just don't have the mental capacity to do full, in-depth reviews. Anywho! Sitely! One new affiliate, Shibuya Station. 10/22/09- One new affiliate, Eclipsed. 10/22/09- Finished the last of the reviews and added an Achievements section. 10/21/09- Did four reviews. I'm slowly getting them done! XD 10/18/09- Did one review. I plan on doing another later today. 10/16/09- I know I promised at least three reviews done by the end of the week and I am sorry that I could only get one. I have a terrible headache and I just cannot seem to focus. DX 10/13/09- One new affiliate, Aura. I plan on having at least three reviews done by the end of the week. We'll see how that goes.
10/10/09- Yet again I've had to change my layout! GRR!! I really liked the old one, too. *pout* Anywho, I have things to add to Eternal Mayhem, but they will have to wait until I get Dark Light and Rave going again.

09/30/09- Okay! No more partying this week! I have to get these reviews done! Expect an affie clean up soon. Added Exhilarating* to the waiting list. I going be a bit more selective with my affiliates on all my sites, so not everyone will be accepted.
09/28/09- Added Somersault to the waiting list. I'm really, really tired right now. I chilled with two of my best friends today and we basically rotated from partying, laughing, and playing WiiFit. So, yeah. I'm terrible tired. So no reviews are gonna be done today. Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't party so much... But I love to rave, so yeah. That's probably never gonna stop. XD 09/26/09- Did one review. 09/25/09- Made a few changes to the layout. I think it looks much better this way. No more scrolling through the whole site, just click on the navigation!

09/18/09-Yeah!!!! After nine long days I'm finally able to update EM!!! Thanks a million to my lovely guild member, Sakura, for finding Weapon's site! Thanks to Weapon for posting how to fix the "glitch" issue!! If you are still having trouble, check out the site!!
09/09/09- I know requests have only been open for a few days, but I've already gotten six! It takes time to review each and every site. So request will be closing again soon.

Final Destination Designs
First Impression: 15/15 Love your layout!! I really like to pops of color in "Final Destination" at the top of the page. It attracts the visitors attention well.
Layout: 20/20 You made it by yourself and your skills are simply amazing! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I did not see any spelling errors or grammatical errors. Good job! ^_^ Neatness: 10/10 Nicely done! Everything is where it is should be. All of your links work and it is super easy to get around the site. Colors: 10/10 Each page of the site hosts the color gray, but there are pops of color all around that make everything brighter. Your colors work very well. Quality: 20/20 Your lookups are amazing!! They are all of high quality and very attractive. I can tell you worked very hard on these lookups. Your link buttons are great, too! They are colorful and will attract the attention of others. Updates: 10/10 You update almost everyday and your updates are informative. You post about new affies, reviews, layouts, and even give a heads up when problems occur. Way to keep your visitors posted. Site Name: 5/5 Love the name. I'll admit, I thought of the movie, Final Destination when I first saw it, but the reasoning behind the name is great. Side Notes: Your affiliates page is very organized. I like that. Plus your layouts do attract my attention. I may use one in the future. Keep up the good work!! ^^
Total Score: 100/100
Ace
First Impression: 15/15 Very nice first impression! I love were the update blog is and I love how it looks. I also love the little bit about yourself. Everything is nice and neat.
Layout: 20/20 Lovely layout! And it's all made by you!! ^_^ Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I saw no problems!! Good job!! Neatness: 8/10 Your "Blank Banners" and "Blank Blends" links don't work. Other than that, everything is where is should be and it's easy to navigate. Colors: 10/10 Mostly gray, with some black and white, but there are pops of color here and there. And the top image is colorful. The colors work very well and everything is easy on the eyes. Quality: 20/20 I love your lookups. They are very well done. Your effort shows in your graphics. Although a majority of your link buttons are from other sites, the ones you did make are fantastic!! Updates: 10/10 Nice work on the updates. You update frequently and keep your visitors posted. Site Name: 5/5 Short and sweet! Not to mention original! Side Notes: Get those two links fixed. It'll make it easier to navigate. Keep up the good work!!
Total Score: 98/100
The Faerie Fountain
First Impression: 15/15 Nice layout. Nice choice of color. The top image is wonderful!
Layout: 20/20 Lovely. You didn't make it, but I won't take off for that(since I can't make layouts myself). Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect!! I saw nothing wrong! Neatness: 5/10 Everything is nice and organized until I get to the bottom where your affies and such are. I think it would look better if they too were in the table with everything else. Your links work fine. Colors: 10/10 The colors of the site match the faerie theme well. Quality: 15/20 I can tell you put a lot of effort into organizing everything. But it looks like you got lazy at the end where your affies are. Updates: 8/10 Your updates are informative, but you don't update frequently. It looks like you update every now and then. Site Name: 5/5 Nice name. The Faerie Fountain could be the name of many different faerie themed sites. You don't know what it's about until you check it out. I like that. It keeps people guessing and gets them curious to find out what your site is all about. Good choice! Side Notes: Fix the sections at the bottom. And update a bit more. Other than that, you have a wonderful site. Keep it up! ^_~ Total Score: 88/100 Eye of the Faerie
Now called Secret Observer.
First Impression: 15/15 Good first impression! Everything is eye appealing and very organized.
Layout: 20/20 Love your layout. You didn't make it, but that's alright. No points deducted for that. You left credit, good job! The background image is very subtle, but without it, the layout would look too blah. Spelling/Grammar: 5/10 There are some problems with your spelling and grammar. For example, "They would secretly disguise as a neopian, just like us and just guide them throughout neopia. This site will help you neopians, find the places and links you will need!" should be "They would secretly disguise themselves as a neopian, just like us and just guide us throughout neopia. This site will help you neopians find the places and links you will need!" There are other places that need to be revised. I suggest you go back and check your spelling and grammar. Also, use the right form of a word. "Its" should be It's. Neatness: 9/10 Everything is very organized. Plus everything is in its proper place. My only concern is that I have to scroll back up to get to the navigation after I click on a link. I suggest adding a "Back to Top" or "Back to Navigation" link. Colors: 10/10 The colors of your site are splendid!! They all work together. Plus you have plently of awards and buttons to brighten up the place!! Quality: 16/20 It must have took you a while to put all those links in their proper places, and not to mention organize the sidebars. The only thing I have a problem with is your spelling/grammar. It seems you like you became lazy when it came to that. Updates: 10/10 You've been open for almost two weeks now and you have been updating ever since. You update on just about everything that matters. Good job! Site Name: 5/5 Nice name. Now, when I first read Eye of the Faerie I thought of the song Eye of the Tiger. XD But now that I know the reasoning behind the name, I really like it. Side Notes: Add some links to get back to the navigation. That'll help make the site easier to navigate. Revise your spelling/grammar. Other than those two things, you're doing a wonderful job at running a directory! ^.^
Total Score: 90/100
Reach the Sky
Now called Carnival Revisione.
First Impression: 15/15 Marvelous first impression!! I really like the background of the layout and the Poogle image.
Layout: 20/20 Premade, but good choice in layout! Plus you left credit to where you got the layout. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I saw nothing wrong! Fantastic!! Neatness: 8/10 Everything is very neat!! Your links work, but I suggest adding a "Back to Navigation" or "Back to Top" link at the end of very linked section. It's makes it easier to return to your navigation, which is very cool by the way, then having to srcoll back to the top of the page. Colors: 9/10 Very pink. I'm not a huge fan of the color pink. Your site does look nice, but I think maybe a few pastel colors would help add more color. Maybe a bit more of that lovely teal or maybe a soft blue. Quality: 19/20 Excellent!! Not only did you work hard, but you came up with a new "event" all on your own!! Props to you!! My only issue are your link buttons. Maybe a few more that are more appealing. People like a variety. You don't have to get all button happy like me *pokes 22 buttons*, but one or two more would be nice. One point deducted for that. Updates: 10/10 Good job updating!! Frequent and informative! Plus your getting the word out about your entries at Green Light and Golden Neopia. Site Name: 5/5 Lovely name. Original and simple. Side Notes: Add a link to get back to your navigation. Make a few more link buttons. And add a bit more color. I love your site, nonetheless. Maybe I'll enter some day. It looks like a lot of fun. Total Score: 96/100 Lauren's Reviews
Now called Push the Button.
First Impression: 10/15 An okay first impression. I don't care much for the top image and the font colors don't match your layout.
Layout: 10/20 Not to fond of the layout. It looks the same as the layout for your other site, Reach The Sky. The font colors don't work with your layout because of the gray background. Try pulling colors from the top image. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No errors what so ever! Marvelous! Neatness: 10/10 Very well organized! All of your links work and it's easy to get around the site. Colors: 5/10 Like I said before, your colors don't work. Pull colors from your top image and maybe add a simple background or texture. Quality: 20/20 You are very through with your reviews. You hit on every point and give great suggestions. Updates: 10/10 You update quite a lot. Nicely done! Site Name: 0/5 Very unoriginal and boring. Side Notes: Try eye-dropping colors from your top image for your fonts. Maybe a new name. Something more creative. But that's only a suggestion. It doesn't have to be taken.

Now called Elegance.
First Impression: 12/15 I like it, but you keep using the same layout for each site. I understand if you like it, but you could edit it a little to make it look a bit different. Nice top image and matching background.
Layout: 15/20 Again, premade and the same layout as on your two other sites. But atleast the colors match your top image on this one. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Again, no mistakes!! ^_^ Neatness: 9/10 Neat as ever. As I said for Reach The Sky, try adding a "Back to Top" or "Back to Navigation" link. No one likes to scroll. Colors: 10/10 Colors match perfectly and work well!! Quality: 20/20 Organized and well put together!! Plus several lovely link buttons!! Updates: 10/10 Again, frequent and imformative! Well done! Site Name: 0/5 Another boring, unoriginal name. Side Notes: Add a link back to navigation and maybe a new name. But overall, a great directory! Total Score: 86/100 Green Light
Now closed. :(
First Impression: 5/15 O_O Wow... really bright green. It hurts my eyes. The site is monochromatic. Your top image is too busy, the faded words on it are too much. It's cute that the song playing says the site's name in it, but it's awfully annoying.
Layout: 10/20 Premade and not the best layout I've seen. I like the fact that it's all one table, but the colors are too bright. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No problems. Good work! Neatness: 5/10 Everything just drags on and on. Try adding scrollbars to the really long sections. Colors: 0/10 They lime green is blinding. I know your site is called Green Light, but too much lime green can hurt one's eyes. Quality: 20/20 You did work hard to put the site together, I can tell. And your link buttons are great! Updates: 10/10 Wonderful job updating! Full points for frequency and information! Site Name: 5/5 Definately original! Short and sweet! Side Notes: Maybe try shades of green in stead of everything be lime green. Make it easier on the eyes. Add scrollbars to the extremely long sections. Total Score: 65/100 Thunskyre

Layout: 20/20 Again, fantastic!! I love Paramore! And your last layout featuring Flyleaf was also stunning. ^_^ And it was made by you! Good work! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Prefect! I love your little farewell, if you will, Peace * Love * Rock and Roll. Very cute! Neatness: 10/10 Everything is where it should be. Your links all work and you have a well put together layout.

I really like your icons and textures. Your blends are amazing, as well. I love your Family Force 5 and Lacey(Sorrow) blends. Updates: 7/10 There are gaps in your updates. I suggest updating more frequently. But all of your updates are informative. Site Name: 5/5 Love the name!! Nice choice!! ^^ Side Notes: Update a bit more.

Layout: 20/20 Nice layout. I love how the colors were pulled from the Island Krawk. Everything matches prefectly. Even the Neopets banner at the top matches the layout!! Premade, but good! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I saw nothing wrong. Good job! Neatness: 9/10 Very neat and tidy. All of your links work prefectly and it's easy to find everything. My only is issue is that you should have a way back to navigation other than scrolling back to the top of the page. Colors: 10/10 Love the colors!!! Quality: 20/20 You worked hard, it shows. Nice work collecting links for the directory! Plus you have wonderful link buttons!! Updates: 10/10 Thurough and frequent! Full points for keeping your visitors posted!! Site Name: 5/5 Great name!

Shine Aqua Illusions
First Impression: 13/15 I like the Sailor Mercury theme. I love Sailor Moon! Nice shades of blue and the star background is cute. The layout looks a little messed up on IE. I only review in IE, it's all I have. Your tables are stretched in IE because of the scrollbars.
Layout: 18/20 You edited the base coding, but you did leave credit. Nice edit. I took two points off because it looks a little messed up in IE. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single thing wrong. Good work! Neatness: 10/10 Well organized. Your effort shows. Colors: 10/10 Even though the layout is mainly blue to match Sailor Mercury's theme, you use a lot of different shades of blue. Quality: 20/20 I can tell you work hard. Your reviews are very detailed and your awards are stunning. Your banner and button requests are equally as stunning. Updates: 10/10 For the most part, pretty consistent. Informative and frequent. You have a few breaks , but I understand. Life just gets hectic for a while. Site Name: 3/5 I like the name, but the "Reviews" part could be dropped. I think it would sound better if it was just Shine Aqua Illusions, or even just Shine Aqua. Side Notes: If you can, try making your site compatible with IE. If you can't that's fine. Other than that, you have an amazing site. ^_^

Square One
First Impression: 10/15 It's a nice layout, but I think it needs more color. When I first looked at it, I thought your site looked at little dull. It is a neat layout, just not a very attractive one.
Layout: 20/20 You made this layout on your own and I respect that. Anyone who can make their own layouts are highly respected by me. But like I said it isn't very appealing. I'm not taking off points twice for that. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Marvelous! Not a single mistake! Neatness: 10/10 Everything is extremely neat! Super easy to navigate and easy to find what you're looking for. All of your links work, not a single one is broken. A very well put together layout! Colors: 8/10 Not much color, but the colors you did use work well together. I took two points off because there wasn't enough color. I'm not saying your site has to be a rainbow. I'm just saying a few more colors would be nice, something to catch the eye with. Quality: 18/20 Everything is absolutely gorgeous! Your layouts are of high quality and your effort shows. Your icons are cute! Especially the Pudding one. And the *Epileptic Seizure* one is so amazing that it almost made me have a seizure! XD I took two points off because of your link buttons. I think they could be a bit more exciting. They don't have to have flashing text or glittering images. Just a bit more creativity. Some nice textures would work well for a few button bases. Maybe some abstract images. A bit more variety would be good. Now, you don't have to get button happy and make 22 buttons like I did. At least four would be good. Updates: 10/10 You are very consistent with your updates and they are very thorough. Site Name: 5/5 I really like the name. It's short and simple. Good choice! Side Notes: Whenever you make a new layout for the site, try adding a bit more color. The style of the current layout is awesome, the colors not so much. Make a few more link buttons. Remember, you have to appeal to all your visitors. So try thinking like them when making them.

Rainbow Buttons
First Impression: 15/15 Awesome first impression! Very colorful! I love the top image.
Layout: 20/20 Premade, but a custom. Good choice on getting a custom made! Lovely layout. It really suits the site. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I didn't see a single mistake. Good work! Neatness: 0/10 It's a mess! The site needs navigation. Add some form of navigation to one of the side bars. Clicking beats scrolling by a mile. Get rid of the sideways scroll bar on you pickups section. To do that, make the "cols" part of the code smaller. Use a smaller number. Get rid of the borders around linked images. And where the button bases are add a scrollbar. It'll help keep that longer section more organized. And add a scroll bar to the your ordering section where the forms are. Always try to keep long sections short. Colors: 10/10 Full points! The colors are gorgeous! Quality: 20/20 Your button bases are awesome! Very good! Your requested buttons are great! Plus your own link back is stunning! Updates: 10/10 Good work on the updates! Site Name: 3/5 Not very original. Adding "Buttons" to it automatically tells people what the site is. I think a more creative name would make people more curious and want to check out your site. Side Notes: Get the site organized! An unorganized site is not pleasant.

Quality: 20/20 I have always loved your graphics! And I have seen you develop new skills. Your layouts are stunning, especially your Sephy one. And I see you now make blogs. Those are also marvelous! Your link backs are great! Plus there is a variety! My favorite graphics would have to be the following:
Updates: 10/10 You keep your visitors posted! Frequent and informative. Well done! Your update on April 10th was a very important one that people should read. You were right to make the request form harsher. If they cannot follow your rules, they should not be granted a request. This goes for all sites! If they have rules, follow them!! Site Name: 5/5 Love the name! It's very….magical. It sounds like it belongs in a video game or something. Side Notes: Keep up the good work, Kitty!

A re-review. Formerly known as Lauren's Reviews.
First Impression: 15/15 Great first impression! I love the top image! Nice layout!
Layout: 20/20 You got the base coding from another site and edited it. Nice edit! I really like it. You left credit, which is also good. But go ahead and credit yourself for the edit. You did a good job and people should know that it was also your work. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single error. Good work! Neatness: 5/10 It's neat and organized, but I think you should add a navigation section to the sidebar. Visitors would much rather click then scroll to get get around. And if you add a navigation, add "back to navigation" links so people won't have to scroll back to the top of the page. Your layout is very well put together and the links you have up work just fine. In your review section, some of the reviews don't have a header with the site name in it. It looks sloppy when some do and some don't. You should fix that. Colors: 10/10 I really like the colors. Not too bright and not too many. Quality: 18/20 Your link backs are great! I really love the second one. I can tell you took the time to really put together this layout. Your effort also shows in your reviews. You are very detailed with your reviews. Again, the headers. Get that fixed. Updates: 10/10 Frequent and not over-detailed. Good work! Site Name: 5/5 Simple and beautiful! I really love the new name! Side Notes: Get those headers fixed and add some navigation. Other than that, wonderful site! You did much better this time around!

Top of the Island

First Impression: 15/15 Nice first impression. I really like the panels at the top of the page, very cute!
Layout: 20/20 A custom, but you requested right! Everything is perfect! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect! Nothing wrong! Neatness: 5/10 Nice and neat. My only concern is that you do not have a form of navigation. Your site has many sections which should have an easy way to get to them. Add some page anchors to the site to create a navigation system. And remember to add "back to navigation" links. Colors: 10/10 All the colors match well. Very island-like. The colors remind me of the sand on a beach and the waves. Quality: 20/20 An original site. There a handful of sites out there with the same purpose as yours, but you made it your own by making into a game, like Survivor. It looks like you took the time to do this right. All of you hard work shows. Lovely link backs. The one you made is cute and the ones you requested are great. Plus that gift button is adorable. Updates: 10/10 Up update nearly every day and they are always informative. Good job keeping your visitors posted. Site Name: 5/5 I like the name. Very original. It gets people wondering just what kind of site it is, so they click on it. Side Notes: Add some navigation. It would really help. You have a great site! I'm glad it put my site up on the Confession Booth. The comments I get are very important. Feedback in general is very important. Keep up the good work!

Unknown Graphics
First Impression: 15/15 Very colorful!! I really love the Rukia image. Bleach is one of my favorite animes. Plus I really love the song!! Awesome first impression!!
Layout: 20/20 A custom layout requested at another site. You requested well! I really like the layout. And it's great that you left the credit. Spelling/Grammar: 5/10 There are some parts of your site that don't make any sense at all. Ex: The site has everything you need to make guilds,lookups,etc. to look even more better,but that everything doesn't come with guild,shop,petpage,or lookup layouts. and Most graphics won't be like requested. What are you trying to say? Not only is that a run-on sentence, it also does not make any sense. You over use the abbreviation "etc." a lot. It is repetitive and unnecessary. You don't even put spaces after your punctuation marks! Everything runs together! Fix that! Neatness: 0/10 The site isn't very neat. One, organize your affiliates section. Put all the text links in a single column. Don't separate them with asterisks. And add your link buttons in size order, since they are not all the same size. Or resize them to a standard size, like 88x31 or 88x33. Another thing that bothers me is the sideways scrollbar on your div boxes. Resize your images in these div boxes until the scrollbar goes away. And if it's text that is casing the div to scroll sideways add a break tag. Your site also needs navigation. You have several sections and scrolling to them is boring. Add navigation and "back to navigation" links to make getting around easier. Colors: 10/10 Again, very colorful!! I really like the colors!! It's eye-catching!
Quality: 20/20 You work hard on your graphics. They are beautiful!! Plus you have a good amount of content. I really like the following graphics:
The stampers are adorable and original!! I've never seen anything like that before!! Updates: 8/10 You update a lot, but there aren't very many. I don't know when you opened the site, so I don't know if that's all the updates you have or if you delete them after a while. Site Name: 2/5 I'm not a huge fan of the name. Kind of plain and unoriginal. Side Notes: Add navigation. It'll make things much easier. Also clean this site up. Organize your affie section and revise all of your text. If you don't know how to resize images, neomail me. I do look forward to seeing more banners and band images from you. Total Score: 80/100 Pixel Buffet
Now closed. :(
First Impression: 10/15 So much pink! I really do not like the color pink, so I wasn't very attracted to your layout. Plus I'm not a fan of the blog-style layout. The layout is neat, I'll admit and the navigation is cool.
Layout: 10/20 A premade edited by you. Not the best choice in layout. I'm not too fond of it. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single thing wrong! Wonderful!! Neatness: 10/10 Very neat!! I really like how everything is so organized! Your navigation is a bit messy. Your links stretch out of the limits of your blog. To fix this, either make the blog longer or change "Links Back & Listed Under" to "Links" or "Linkage". Colors: 0/10 Too much pink! Quality: 10/20 Your pixels are nice, but not wonderful. You have the basic idea of what pixeling is, but you still need some more practice. Keep working at it. Try shading. It helps make the pixels look more realistic. One way to practice is to redo your existing pixels. Like your tomato for example. Try redoing it. Make about four shades of red: a deep shade for the outline, a lighter shade but still dark for shadows, a middle tone for the body, and a light red for the highlight. Choose the direction the light is coming from and color in the pixel accordingly. And for the leaves on the tomato, just use a light shade of green to add highlights. You are off to a good start. All you have to do is perfect your skills. Updates: 10/10 Frequent updates. Good job! Site Name: 3/5 Cute name, but not very original. There are tons of Pixel sites out there with the word "pixel" in it's name. Side Notes: Get the navigation fixed, it looks sloppy. And maybe add some more color to your layout. Several colors work with pink. Blue, purple, green, brown, black, and grey. Just choose one or two. Other than that, you have a cute site. Keep working hard and practicing. Total Score: 63/100 Thunderstruck Lookups
First Impression: 7/15 Not a very good first impression. The fact that the banner doesn't go all the way across bothers me. Your side column looks a little sloppy. The top of it doesn't come all the way to the top of the table. Your banner and background are very cheerful, but the song is very depressing. A more upbeat song would help make the site more inviting. Or a song that better matches the layout.
Layout: 20/20 You made this layout on your own and I like that. It is very colorful and very cute. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No problems in this area. Good job!! Neatness: 5/10 Everything is where it should be. What bothers me and led me to deduct five points was the fact that you added navigation to the sections in your sidebar. Things in a sidebar don't get page anchors added to them. Only add page anchors to the sections in the main content are of the site, where all the lookups are. Also move the "back to the top" links outside of the div. This way people won't have to scroll through the entire box just to get to the link. Colors: 10/10 Nice and colorful and everything matches. Full points!! Quality: 20/20 Your lookups are simply divine! I really like your Three Days Grace lookup. Your link buttons are cute and attractive, but try making a few more with the new site name on it. Updates: 10/10 Nice job updating. Consistent and informative. Site Name: 5/5 Very cute name. Way better than Erika's Lookups. Side Notes: Another thing that bothered me was the CSS of the site. Your b/i/u is very distracting. Make the i/u the same size as the rest of the text and change the colors to make them stand out. For example, make the italics a light blue and the underline pale orange. Make your bolds a bit smaller and change the color, too. Maybe pink or purple. A very nice site with really cute lookups. Keep up the good work and fix a few problems.

Layout: 20/20 Very nice layout. I can only imagine how long it took you to put it together. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect! Not a single error!! Neatness: 7/10 Everything is where is should be. My only concern is that you do not have and "return to navigation" links. You have a lot of content on your site. Adding some links back to navigation at the end of each section will help your visitors get around the site. Colors: 10/10 I love the colors!! They all work perfectly, even the gray! Quality: 20/20 There are tons of links and even more text! Everything looks fantastic! I'm sure you worked hard on you site! Updates: 0/10 It looks like you've been dead for a while. But before that, you updated frequently. Update more often, or at least post why you've been gone. Site Name: 5/5 I really like this name.

Inu-Graphics
First Impression: 0/15 Oh wow. O_O It's really pink. I'm not a huge fan of the color pink. It doesn't look very organized. Overall, it doesn't attract me at all.
Layout: 0/20 You already know that I don't like the color pink. But I also don't like the banner. It's a cute picture of Inu-Yasha and Kagome, but it's too big and a bit blurry. Maybe redo the banner and make it smaller. And save it as a .png image. That way it won't turn out blurry. Plus try using a better font for the site name. It's a bit hard to read. Spelling/Grammar: 8/10 There a few things that need to be fixed. First, in your "Welcome"section, "Fma"should be changed to "FMA". All capital letters. And in the sentence, "Now if your ever on the wall of shame you will be found in a whole lot of trouble with the neopets team", "your"should be changed to "you're"and "the neopets team"should be either "The Neopets Team"or "TNT". Other than those few things, everything else is fine. Neatness: 0/10 The site isn't very organized. For one, your text and scrollbars don't fit in there blog areas. They hang out the edges a bit. Next, your "Welcome"section could be cleaned up a bit. Just add a few paragraph breaks to separate paragraphs and buttons and everything should look better. Same thing for your link backs and banners. Paragraph breaks make everything neater. Plus normal break tags will do the trick, too. Since your banners are pretty big, make the section they're in bigger. That way it won't scroll sideways. And also remember to make banners that don't exceed the width of your div boxes. If they do, just shrink them with a width code. Add a section for you link backs and reviews. It'll make it easier for people to find your link backs and scores if you do. In your "Affies"section, some of the buttons have that ugly blue link border around it. To get rid of that border, just add border="0"to the image tag. Colors: 0/10 Again, I don't like pink. And this is a very strong shade of pink. Also, the sky blue text is hard to see against it. Quality: 15/20 Your icons are gorgeous! But your banners need work. They look like you just found them on Google and added text to them. Try adding effects to them, like blurring the edges or tinting. If you don't have an image editing program, you can download GIMP. It's free and effective. I used it to make this sites banner and the rose glitter in the "Welcome"section. If you don't want to download that, just edit your images with the image editor on Photobucket. I use that, too. Updates: 0/10 You don't have an "Updates" section. =( You really should add one to your site. By updating, people will know that you are alive and so is your site. Site Name: 5/5 Original and catchy! Good job choosing a name! Side Notes: Your graphics don't link back to your site. That is a major no-no! All your graphics must link back! It doesn't matter if they have your name on them. People will still claim them as their own. Linking back is one way of having "proof", if you will, that you made those graphics. Organize the site and change up the colors. Pink and blue definitely work, but you have to find the right shades first. Total Score: 28/100 Buttercup Banners
First Impression: 15/15 Very pink, but offset by white. Good first impression. I like the background. It's not boring like other stripe backgrounds. The layout is nice and neat. Good job!
Layout: 20/20 So I like this layout. The CSS is pretty good, too. A premade, but a good choice. The layout is fully appealing and it's easy on the eyes. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Nice! Not a single mistake! Neatness: 7/10 Everything is in the right place and the site is pretty organized. I took of one point for not having a navigation system. No one likes to scroll through a whole page to find what they are looking for. Why not add page anchors to create a navigation system. And adding "back to navigation" links at the end of each section will help the navigation system. I took one point off for the sideways scrolling div boxes in your sidebar. To fix that, just make the text areas in your div boxes smaller. To do so, just make the cols number smaller. That should fix the div boxes. And I took off one more point for you "Affies" section. The affie form looks out of place in the div box. And the marquee is fine, but don't put it in a div box where no one can see it unless they scroll through it. If you want your affies in a div box, take out the marquee code. Colors: 10/10 I don't like the color pink *points to the darkness of Eternal Mayhem*, but adding white to it offsets it. It's a nice balance and I like it. Quality: 15/20 You make lovely banners! But your link backs could use some work. They aren't as gorgeous as you banners. You should put as much time and effort into your link backs as you do your banners. A good button attracts more attention. Updates: 5/10 You just added your "Updates" section. And your site has been open since April. I can't really give you credit for it, but I can give you five points for having one. Site Name: 2/5 It's an alright name. It's kind of boring with the words "banners" in it. Nothing about the name makes me want to immediately check out the site. Side Notes: Add navigation. Work on some more link backs. Ones that will make people say, "WOW!" Keep up the good work. Try getting your site listed on a few directories. That'll help spread the word of you site! Total Score: 84/100 Tastymint Links
First Impression: 15/15 Very nice first impression. I'm not a huge Selena Gomez fan, I think she's alright. But the banner is pretty awesome. I like the background. The colors are nice. It looks like a very neat layout.
Layout: 20/20 Okay. It's a premade, but you did edit the CSS to make it more your own! Good job! Plus you made that banner! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I saw no errors. Good work! Neatness: 8/10 Nice and neat. Your links work, all but your "back to top" links. They don't take you back to the top of the page. Get that fixed. A navigation system is nothing if the "back to top" link doesn't work. Other than that, the site is organized and easy to navigate. Colors: 10/10 Nicely done. I like the "berry" tones. Very welcoming and attractive. Quality: 20/20 You've got a good amount of links on your directory. Keep up the good work! Updates: 10/10 You update a lot and your posts are detailed and informative. Good job keeping your viewers informed! Site Name: 4/5 I like the name. But I don't like the "Links" part. I think dropping the word "links" and just calling the site Tastymint would sound better. Side Notes: As for your sidebar, I have no clue why it keeps going. But, if you want to remove your background to see if that fixes the problem, you can and you don't have to be stuck with a white background. Just use this code, {body bgcolor=#HEX CODE HERE} (change those to triangle brackets), before your style tags. You can have a solid background of any color you choose. Just find the hex code and plug it in!

Colours of the Wind
First Impression: 10/15 The layout isn't centered. That bothers me. I'm not a fan of layouts that aren't centered. Your banner is too dark for the layout. The colors you chose are very nice, but the banner is too dull and dark. It makes the colors of the layout seem a bit dirty. So far the site looks organized. I will get into more detail later.
Layout: 15/20 Once again, it's off-center. It's a premade, but you did edit it. Good for you! And I see your banner is also premade. Try making your own banner. You might be surprised as to what you can do. All you need is an image editing program. MS Paint does a good job, but you can download GIMP for free. It's sort of like Photoshop and it's pretty good. But overall, you have a nice layout. Just center it and get a new banner. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I didn't find one thing wrong. Nice work. Neatness: 5/10 Okay. So you have an in-site navigation, but you don't have a way to get back to it. At the end of each section, add a "back to navigation" link. All of your links work just fine. The site looks a little messy when it comes to the div boxes. Some of the div boxes scroll horizontally. Horizontal scrollbars look bad. So, to fix that, all you have to do is shrink the images inside them. Shrink down the large images that cause them to scroll sideways to a suitable size. To shrink images, add a width code into the image search code. If you need help with this, feel free to neomail me. Another thing, remove the ugly blue border on some of the link backs and awards. To do that, add a border code to the image search code. Again, you can neomail me if you need help with that. Also remove any images that have been moved/deleted from the image hosting site. It just makes your site look unkempt. Colors: 10/10 Yep. I like these colors very much. ^^ Nice choice! Quality: 10/20 Well, you certainly do make a variety of graphics. You even have music codes and untaken names. These aren't graphics, but you certainly do have a lot. Now, I can't code a lookup(yet), but the ones you make surely are decent. I think if you add a little more effort and a few more details to the images, you could have even better lookups to offer all of Neopia. Same goes for your blogs. They have potential. I make blogs on my graphics site and the first few I made weren't all that great. But I learned to make them better. Instead of having a solid area where the text would go, I learned to make them transparent. If you took the time to learn, you could make some awesome blogs. You're signs are great. Simple and to the point, just like a sign should be. I switched to IE and tried to listen to your music codes and not a single one worked. =( Get that fixed. Having music codes that don't work is a no-no. The untaken names are lovely. Some of them are very catchy. Updates: 8/10 There are some gaps in your updates, but when you do update, you are informative. Nice job. Site Name: 5/5 I love the name! Pocahontas is one of my favorite Disney movies and "Colors of the Wind" is one my favorite songs in the movie. Side Notes: Add "back to navigation" links at the end of each section. Fix your music codes and shrink those images that are too large. Remove dead links and images. Basically do a site cleanup. You really do have a nice site, you just have to do a little maintenance on it. Try to add a little more "WOW!" to your graphics. And practice! Practice and use some new techniques. Practice makes perfect! Total Score: 73/100 Emily's Graphics
First Impression: 8/15 Your banner is way too big. My OCD does not like the fact that is doesn't like up with the rest of your layout. Resizing it or making the tables of your layout wider would help. I like the fact that the site is black, white and purple(those are my favorite colors) but I think you it could use a bit more color. Instead of using the same shade of purple, try using different shades.
Layout: 14/20 I love the fact that you made the layout on your own. I always admire those who can code their own layouts. I took five points off for the banner and tables not lining up and for the lack of color. Also, one point was taken away because of the headers. Your headers come right up to the bottom of the text. That makes the layout look squished and overcrowded. Adding a little space between the headers and text will help make the site look a little less cluttered. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Full points here!! Not a single mistake! Neatness: 5/10 Your site needs a form of navigation. Having to scroll through to find what you're looking for gets very annoying. Add page anchors to form a system of navigation and remember to add link returning to the navigation. Your "Links" section should be moved to the sidebar. It seems out of place in the main content area. Everything is where it belongs and all your links work. Colors: 7/10 Like I said, purple, black and white(well, silver, but white is close enough) are my favorite colors. But I still think you need more color in the layout. Play around with shades of purple. Try pink-purples and blue-purples. Quality: 10/20 You save a lot of you images in JPEG format. That's not good. Saving them in PNG format will help keep them "sharp" and not blurry at all. JPEG format tends to make images very blurry and unappealing. Your glitters need work. Practice more and try new programs. You can create awesome glitters with GIMP. It's a free program you can download. It works much like Photoshop. I use it and it really is a great program. I do like your blends. Those are very nice. Your color schemes are also very nice. Your link backs could use some work. Take the time to make super cute link backs. Spending ten to twenty minutes on one link back button will all be worth it in the end. Updates: 4/10 There aren't many updates and I don't know when you opened your site. Plus there are gaps in your updates. Not very consistant. Site Name: 0/5 Not original at all. It's a rather boring name. Side Notes: Add navigation to the site and practice. Practicing will help hone your skills as a graphics maker. I won't take any points off for this, but I will point it out. Your SOTM is kind of out of place on a graphics site. Why not turn that little section into a new site? Total Score: 58/100
Pet Adoptions
First Impression: 8/15 Ugh. Orange. -_- That is my least favorite color. It bothers me that your banner and navigation don't line up with the rest of your layout.
Layout: 10/20 I love that you made the layout on your own. But honestly, I'm really not attracted to it. Nothing about it makes me say "WOW!" or makes me want to stay. Fix the banner and navigation. Make it align with the rest of the layout. And use some more color. Gray is great color, but you have to use other colors to compliment it. Orange doesn't really work. Blues and greens do. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 There was a lot to read, but I didn't find any mistakes. You are, indeed, a grammar freak. Nice work. ~_^ Neatness: 9/10 Very neat! Everything is where it should be and all your links work! I took one point off for not having a "back to navigation" or "back to top" link. Those links are crucial parts of a navigations system. Add them! Colors: 0/10 I really don't like these colors. Orange and gray just don't work. :( Quality: 20/20 A very detailed, helpful guide. I love it! You put a lot of work into this, I can tell. I would definitely use your guide if I were to ever apply for a pet up for adoption or put one of my own angels up for adoption. Your link buttons are simple, yet attractive. Good job. Updates: 7/10 There are gaps and your site has not been open for very long. But your updates are detailed. Site Name: 0/5 Not a fan of the name. It's very boring and doesn't attract attention. Try coming up with something original. Side Notes: Fix the banner and add more color to the site. Add links returning to the navigation. Other than that, you have a lovely site. Keep up the good work! Get it listed on tons of directories and make more affiliates. I'm sure your guide will do well and help tons of Neopians. Total Score: 64/100
Royal Revolution
First Impression: 10/15 First of all, I like the banner. But I don't like that you saved it in JPEG format. Saving it in PNG format would have prevented it from being blurry. Also, I do not like the two shades of blue. The space to the right is a darker shade of blue. Use an eyedropper tool to eyedrop the lighter shade of blue to get the hex code. It is very unappealing too see two shades of the same color. It would look better if everything looked seamless.
Layout: 15/20 You made the layout all on your own. I love that! Again, the two shades of blue and the blurry banner. Five pointed deducted. It just makes your site look unprofessional. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect!! Not a single error!! Neatness: 9/10 Completely organized! I can tell you like things to be in order. Everything was exactly where is should be. I took away one point for not having a link back to navigation. Links returning to navigation are important parts of a navigation system. Colors: 10/10 Blue and gray. I like that combination. Very nice choice! Quality: 20/20 There is definitely a lot of content on your site. I can tell you worked hard and put a lot of effort into your site. Updates: 10/10 You update quite a lot and they are informative. Nice work! Site Name: 5/5 I love the name! It's very catchy! Side Notes: I won't take any points off for this, but while scrolling over the text on your site, I noticed a lot of it turns a shade or orange/coral like your links do. This may be because of an open hyperlink tag. Run through your coding and make sure all tags are closed. It starts right at the beginning of your site in the updates sections. Some parts of your sidebar do the same thing. Fix the two shades of blue and make them one. Add links returning to navigation. You really have a wonderful site. It just needs to be cleaned up with a maintenance check.

Foods of Truth
First Impression: 5/15 Wow. That's a lot of color. O.O First of all, your banner text isn't centered. And you should have saved your images in PNG format. JPEG format tends to make things blurry. Your layout is too far off to the left. Try brining it more to the right.
Layout: 10/20 A premade. Not a very good choice in a premade. Again, the colors. There are just too many. It's distracting. I noticed as I scrolled down that the boxes get smaller and smaller and the orange border around it multiplies. That hurts my eyes. Try keeping the boxes the same size and make sure that the border doesn't multiply. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Good work!! Not a single thing wrong!! Neatness: 2/10 Well, everything is definitely where it should be. You have "back to top" links, but no actual form of in-site navigation. Add a system of navigation by using page anchors. Clicking beats scrolling! Ugh! I see those ugly borders around your images! Those make your site look unprofessional and unorganized! Remove those borders by adding a border code to the image code. Neomail me if you need help with that. At the top of your site in your "How to get a pixel" section, add a break tag right before the text area where the code is. Having it all lined up like that is sloppy. Your shrinking boxes and multiplying borders really do make your site look sloppy. Try fixing that. Colors: 0/10 Way to many colors! It's blinding. And the gray off to the side where the circles are just doesn't work. Trying narrowing your color choices down to maybe two or three. Quality: 15/20 Your graphics do have potential. Especially your pixels. I know I can't pixel Converse! I really love your Pacman pixels. ^^ They're really cute. Your Sorting Hat images are adorable. Practice with new techniques and different programs to make better graphics. You can download GIMP for free. I use that program. I made EM's banner with it. And you can make your pixels transparent with it. It works much like Photoshop and takes a bit of getting used to. But once you learn how to use it, you'll be able to make even better graphics! Your link buttons are indeed attractive! It's great that you requested them, but try making your own. Buttons aren't hard to make. You'll be surprised at what you can do. Updates: 10/10 You update quite a bit and they are informative. Good job! Site Name: 5/5 I love it! It's such a clever name! And very original! Side Notes: Add in-site navigation and practice more with your graphics. Try fixing those layout problems and narrow down your color scheme. You have a great site with lots of potential. Keep up the hard work! Total Score: 62/100 Initially You
First Impression: 10/15 Nice layout. It's pleasant and welcoming, but it's missing one very important thing. It needs a banner. Something to go across the top of your site with the site's name on it. Banners help attract your visitor's attention. I suggest getting one. I love the song you have playing on the site! So far the layout looks neat. We'll get more into neatness later.
Layout: 10/20 Alright, a premade. A good choice of a premade, as well. It is an appealing layout but it could use a bit more. Mess around with the CSS and make it more your own. Customize is as much as you can. If you don't know how anything about CSS, check out these awesome guides:
Spelling/Grammar: 5/10 I see you can spell quite fine. Why don't you use capital letters? Part of running a site is having good grammar. Using good grammar makes your site look professional. Without it, your site looks like a joke. Sorry if that's harsh, but that's what it seems like. Also, try to be as formal as possible. Some of your sentences are too casual. For example, July 25th 3009 is when i got the idea of making a button requesting site. This site is under going some maintenance so please be patient should be changed to something like this, On July 25th 3009, I got the idea to make a button request site. Initially you is under going some maintenance. Please be patient. Neatness: 10/10 Considering that your site is brand new and you don't have much content, the site is fairly organized. Once you start getting requests and filling them, your site's content will grow. That's when you should add a system of navigation to help get to those larger areas of the site filled with content. All your links work, lovely. The site is easy to navigate as of right now, but watch out when you start getting requests. Colors: 8/10 Very bright colors, but they all work together. I took two points off for the background. It's kind of blinding. Quality: 12/20 Well, you only have a few button templates. Over time, add more choices. Some creative and original. You have a few fonts, too. The fonts are blurry, so they are kind of hard to see. Save them as PNG images and try not to make them too big. You have two link backs and they aren't very attractive. You make buttons so your link backs must show how good you are. Make your link backs looks ten times better and show off your skills. Updates: 10/10 You don't have many updates because the site is brand new. So I can't really take of any points. But I can give you points for having an updates section and for posting even just a little bit. Site Name: 5/5 I absolutely love the name!! It's so cute! Side Notes: Your site has potential. Get in some requests. Go affie hunting and get it listed on a few directories. Get your site out there! That's the key to finding requests! Get a banner for your site and make some stunning link backs!! Total Score: 70/100 Sparks of Magic
First Impression: 15/15 Very nice first impression. I adore the banner! Very cute and very much attractive! At a glance, everything seems to be in order. More on organization later.
Layout: 20/20 Completely made by you! Wonderful! It's a very simple layout. I love that! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect! Not a single error!! Neatness: 8/10 The site is definitely organized. I found everything in exactly the right place. All of your link work wonderfully. And since the layout isn't very intricate, it's very well put together. I docked two points for not having a system of navigation. You have a lot of content on your site and I had to scroll through to find what I was looking for. Adding a system of navigation using page anchors will help. Remember to add a link back to the navigation. Clicking beats scrolling by a mile, remember that. Colors: 8/10 Okay, there is a bit of a blue overload. I like the color blue, but it's a bit blinding when it's everywhere. And the orange header is kind of hard to read against the blue. Maybe adding a white background to the orange header will help. Or using white for the text and orange for a border. Quality: 20/20 First of all, your buttons are fantastic! I love the different styles of animation! Next, your site banners. These are great! I really love how you blend the images together. On to the awards. You make lovely awards. Now for you SOTM. It's very original because it is a seven month long competition. And the elimination process is genius! Finally, your link buttons. All of your link button are attractive! Who would overlook such beautiful buttons? Updates: 5/10 Your site has been open for almost a month and there are only two updates? I'm guessing you delete your old updates. I suggest not doing that. Don't delete your old updates. Keep them up for a few months, maybe even a year! I keep all my updates on my graphics site up for a year and deleted them all on the site's anniversary. You do, however, update on only the essentials. That's good. No need to tell your visitors about things not related to the site. What good does it do them? Site Name: 5/5 Absolutely love the name! It's so catchy. Easy to remember. And very fun to say. XP Side Notes: Add a system of navigation to the site and keep all your old updates for a while before deleting them. Tone down the blue a smidge and try something a little different with the orange header. Other than that, you have a great site. Very resourceful and fun! Keep up the hard work! ^-^

Color Me Fun
First Impression: 15/15 Very nice! I love the layout! The panel-style with paint brushes is very fitting! Everything looks nice and neat at a glance.
Layout: 15/20 Again, I love it. It's a premade, but a good choice. I suggest playing around with the CSS and editing it to make it more your own. If you don't know much about CSS, don't worry. There are tons of helpful CSS guides out there. You just have to look for them. Neomail me if you want my recommendations on a few good guides. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single thing wrong. Excellent! Neatness: 8/10 Your site is incredibly neat! Everything is where it should be and it's all easy to find. I took two points of for the length of your Paint Brushes section. Put that in a div box that scrolls. It's way to long. Colors: 10/10 Nice, simple, clean colors. They all work together wonderfully and are easy on the eyes. Quality: 20/20 Your site is definitely helpful. I can tell that you put effort into putting it together. Updates: 0/10 Oh my! You don't have any updates! That's ten points lost! I know that your site is a guide, but you can still have an updates section. You can update when the prices go up or down on the paint brushes. Update on new affiliates, listings, and reviews. Update when you enter SOTM's. There is a lot you can update about. Site Name: 5/5 Love it! It's so fun! So cute! Side Notes: Add an updates section. Edit the layout a bit. Put the paint brushes in a scrolling div box. That's all I have to say. Keep up the good work! Total Score: 83/100 Everlasting Reviews
First Impression: 15/15 Very fresh and clean. I love the layout. Everything is so simple. I love how "Everlasting" and "Reviews" are two different colors. That's pretty cool. The layout looks very neat so far.
Layout: 15/20 Okay. So it's a premade. I like how it's divided into two columns, in a way. Since it is a premade I suggest you edit the CSS to make it more unique. If you don't know much about CSS, check out the "Tips" section. I have some great guides listed. Another thing, the solid pink background is nice, but maybe a striped background would be better. Just to add some interest to the site. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Perfect! I didn't catch any mistakes. Neatness: 10/10 You have one of the most organized sites I have ever seen! Your layout definitely does help keep it that way. You have a lot of content, but because the layout is put together so well, it's very easy to get to everything. There is no need for in-site navigation here. Every link works wonderfully. Colors: 7/10 I'm not a fan of the color pink, but it works on your site. Gray, pink and blue always seem to work together. My only issue is that everything is a bit to light. It makes everything look washed out and it gets quite blinding after a while. Quality: 19/20 You do a wonderful job. I've read through a few of your reviews and they are all helpful. You even make custom awards(like me)! The effort you put into the site shows. I took one point off for your link buttons. You have one that you made, which is adorable. Then you have one made by another site, which is also adorable. They are attractive, but I think you should make more. Give people a variety to choose from. Updates: 10/10 You update often and they are all site related. Nice work. Site Name: 5/5 Absolutely love the name! Usually I hate it when a site has "Reviews" or "Graphics" tagged on the end, but without "Reviews", the site name would be boring. You make that word work! Side Notes: Add a background. Not necessarily a striped background, but something with a pattern to add more interest. Add bolder colors to keep the site from looking washed out. Try editing the CSS a bit to make it more your own. Keep up the great work! You have a marvelous site!

Button Bay
First Impression: 10/15 I like most of what I see. The background is nice. The headers are a bi boring. Try sprucing those up. Your banner is too pixely and that image is overdone. I've seen many sites featuring that Lutari lounging away on a tiny island.
Layout: 10/20 A premade from Exclusive. It's a nice layout, so good choice. Points were deducted for the CSS. Edit the layout's CSS and make it more interesting. It's kind of boring. Spelling/Grammar: 5/10 I found a few mistakes that need to be fixed. In your little introduction there are several problems that need your attention. First of all, capitalize the word "Guest". Second, capitalize the beginning of every sentence. Here and there I found sentences lacking punctuation go through and revise all the text on your site. Neatness: 8/10 For the most part, your site is pretty neat. My only suggestion is that you move your pickups section to the main area of the site. It makes your right sidebar look cluttered. Colors: 7/10 I like the colors, but they seem washed out. Use bolder, brighter colors and contrast with darker colors here and there. Quality: 18/20 You make wonderful buttons. You have great link buttons. I took away two points for not revising your site's text. Updates: 10/10 Nice job on your updates. You update frequently and you are very thorough. Site Name: 5/5 I actually like the name quite a lot. It's really fun to say. Side Notes: Revise your site! Have someone proof read it. Edit the CSS and make it more your own. Total Score: 73/100 The Goodie Box
First Impression: 10/15 I love the colors! Very calming. Nice banner. The little shine/sparkle/glare on it is a nice touch. The front page looks a little over crowded. It's all organized, but there is just too much stuff. And your site's layout scrolls sideways. That bothers me. I really dislike horizontal scrollbars. We'll get more into organization and layout later.
Layout: 18/20 Okay. The coding came from Kill The Lights, but you did edit it and credit Sra for the original coding. Good work! The CSS work is fantastic! Everything works well together., but your headers are too close to everything else. Like in your sidebar, the link back header is too close to the banner requests link. Just add a paragraph break after the end of each section to add a little space. This will help make the site look a little less cluttered. The horizontal scrollbar. If you could remove that somehow, that would be very helpful to your site. Horizontal scrollbars are just icky! Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I didn't catch a thing. Good job! Neatness: 8/10 Alright. Like I said before, the front page is overcrowded. I suggest moving some things around and maybe adding another section to the site. Move you affiliates, listings, reviews, and awards to a "sitely" section. This will free up space. If you want, you could keep your top affiliates on the front page. Also move your site history to a "sitely" section. That would fit better there. Move your "vote" section to right after your welcome message. Leave your link buttons, updates and credit on the front page in the side bar. You could even move the updates to the main content if you want. These are only suggestions, you don't have to take them if you don't want to. Moving on. Everything else looks organized. I went through ever last page. I clicked on every link, too. Every last one worked fine. Colors: 10/10 I adore the color scheme! Although it is monochromatic, it all works because of that! Very much appealing and welcoming. Nice choice in colors! Quality: 20/20 Wow. You do have a lot of content on your site. And so I looked at everything! Let's start with your resources, shall we? You offer many adorable pixel that I have seen used all around Neopia. This shows that your pixels are of good quality. Next. The page dividers! They are my favorite things on your site! I absolutely love them! I don't know how you make them, but however you do it, you do it well! The PNGs are cute, but add a few more and maybe some that are not neo-related. Aw. No brushes. And I so adore brushes. I can't wait to see what you add there! Onto the user lookups. I have seen these all around Neopia, too. You have a certain style and it's apparent. I don't even have to look for the credit when I see one of your layouts. I just know that you made it. It screams Stephanie! They are all very well made and coded perfectly. The buttons! This is what I know your site for. When I first heard of The Goodie Box, that's what I first saw on the site. Buttons. And gorgeous buttons at that! You have tons of bases to choose from! Most of which I have seen used by others with credit left to you. Again, another sign of a quality site. As for your requested buttons, those too are marvelous! You have great borders to choose from. You take time making your buttons. It's apparent in the buttons you have made. I looked at your button portfolio. Good golly gosh you have made a lot of buttons! How long has the site been open? Five months exactly as of today! And you've made over 400 buttons in five months?! Excellent work!! Well, I'm not done yet. There are still other things to cover. Your backgrounds are simple and fun. I love them! That's all I have to say about those. The color palettes are great. I like that you posted how you created them. The last thing you offer are banners. Again, I have seen many of you banner floating around Neopia. Yet again a sign of a quality site. You have a certain style with your banners as you do with your lookups. I can't really describe it, but I know when I see something that you made, it just screams Stephanie! Updates: 10/10 You update frequently and post enough too keep your visitors "in the know". Site Name: 5/5 It's a fun, cute name. Nice choice! Side Notes: I didn't take of any points for this, but I thought I should mention it. I know that there are many sites that are creating blogs and adding them. I think these things don't belong on sites. They should go on about me pages or on a petpage all of their own, like mine. If it isn't site related, it doesn't belong. Most people don't read blogs, so there really is no point in adding it to your site. Although, since I blog myself, I did read yours. I found it quite entertaining. I might just do that word search. Personally I think everyone should move their blogs to a separate petpage and we should all affiliate so we can read and comment on each other. XD Anywho, you have a great site that has certainly made Neopian fame. And congratulations! I believe you have received my longest, most detailed review ever! XD Keep up the good work, love!

First Impression: 14/15 Nice first impression. Everything looks good at a glance. I tooke away one point for the banner. It's a nice banner, but it's too wide. Either shrink it or make the layout wider.
Layout: 20/20 A custom. Nice. Haven't seen one of those in a while. It's a nice layout, simple and well put together. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Nice work! No mistakes!! Neatness: 9/10 Very neat! Good work!! I suggest centering everything in your sidebar. It'll make that part look better. And replace my link back in your affie section with a new one so the box doesn't scroll sideways. I had to move everything to tinypic. Colors: 10/10 Very pink! But I can't really say much about it since EM is currently a monochromatic bloodbath. XD I do love it, though. The colors match the pattern in the butterfly's wings perfectly! Quality: 14/20 You have potential. I like some of your drawings, like your Desert Draik and Maraquan Gelert. I could never draw those. XP Practice a bit more. And when you take pictures of them, make sure there is enough light in the room and don't use the flash on your camera. That will wash out the colors. Just do it in natural light. Try to prop the drawing up, so it's leaning against a wall or something. Open a window or go outside(when it's not windy) and take a picture of it in some really good lighting with as little shadows as possible. Get down to the pictures level so it's lined up perfectly with the camera. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I don't have a scanner, so I have to take very good pictures of my art before I can upload it onto deviantART. If you scan the images, use an image editing program like GIMP(which is free!) or Photo Shop to make the images sharper and clearer. Also erase any smudges or stray marks with the program. You can do that in MS Paint. For you digital drawings, you've got some potential there, too. Practice a bit more. Updates: 9/10 There are a few gaps here and there, but you do post long updates that are detailed. Nice work. Site Name: 3/5 Not too much liking the name. Since you do mostly drawings, I wouldn't call them graphics. I like the butterfly part. But drop the graphics part and try something else. A few suggestions: Butterfly Bliss, Butterfly Designs, Enchanted Butterfly. Side Notes: Practice! You've got talent! And I want to see you use it to it's full potential!! Try different poses, different styles of drawings, learn the anatomy of animals to get everything anatomically correct, try different styles of shading, whatever! Just try out as many new things as possible, even if it seems stupid. I promise you it will make you a better artist. I've done things I absolutely hate! But it all made my art better. And I'm thankful to those who pushed me into doing it. I created my own style of drawing, shading, and coloring. Now people recognize my stuff even when my signature isn't on it. You never know what you can do until you try. Total Score: 89/100 Lorna's Petpage Directory
First Impression: 13/15 I like the banner. Very cute. I don't like that the sidebar is green. Make that white. It's very distracting and kind of tacky. The headers are kind of boring and I don't like the font you used. Try a simple font like Leelawadee or Century Gothic. Other than that, a pretty decent first impression.
Layout: 10/20 A premade, but you did edit it and leave credit. I don't like the colors. Again, that green sidebar is highly distracting. It takes away from the main content. The shade of purple and green used clash. I know purple and green go together, but only certain shades. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Good work here! Neatness: 10/10 Very organized! I love it! I really love how you display your review scores. All your links work. The layout is put together nicely. Colors: 0/10 I'm not feeling these colors. Purple is my favorite color, but it just doesn't work with this shade of green. Maybe a more pastel shade of green in stead of a "minty" one. Quality: 16/20 Holy cow! You certainly have a lot of sites listed! And you've only been open for a few months. Nice work!! Points were taken away for your link buttons. They're nice, but not very attractive. Make a few that will attract someone's attention right off the bat! Updates: 9/10 There are some gaps, but for the most part you update well. Site Name: 0/5 Not very original. It really doesn't appeal to me. Try coming up with something creative. Side Notes: Change the side bar to white and try a different shade of green. Keep up the good work. You've got a good site and it's pretty popular. It just needs a little improvement, but what site doesn't. Even Eternal Mayhem isn't perfect, far from it actually. Total Score: 68/100 Lighthouse SOTM
First Impression: 5/15 Not a very good first impression. The background doesn't match the CSS at all. And it's a shame because that background is really cute, too. The site called Lighthouse. Make everything nautical. Use blues and white. There is too much white space at the bottom of your layout. Remove that so there is a nice border of white on all sides of the div box.
Layout: 10/20 I love the blog style layout. But like I said, the white space on the bottom has got to go. You made the layout yourself with the help of Square One, good job! The CSS is really boring and it doesn't match. The red clashes with the blue. Try using just different shades of blue and some white. Make the headers more interesting. They're really boring. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Nothing wrong here. Nice work. Neatness: 10/10 Very neat. Lovely! Everything is easy to find and all the links work. Colors: 0/10 Again, the red and blue just doesn't work. The red is very harsh on the eyes. Quality: 15/20 I see that you take your time with your site. That's good. I saw a few things that need to be fixed. On the homepage, remove the link border around your neomail link and get a new image. That one is too blurry. Your awards aren't the best. Awards are supposed to be pretty and over the top. Plus they are blurry. Save all your images in PNG format. Your counter image is also blurry. Nice link buttons. They're all pretty. Updates: 8/10 Your updates are short but to the point. Nice. There are a few gaps, but that's okay. Site Name: 4/5 I like the name, but I would suggest dropping "SOTM" from the name. Side Notes: Fix the layout and change the CSS. Move the updates section to after the homepage. It makes more sense there. Keep up the hard work. Your site has potential. Total Score: 67/100 Limelight
First Impression: 0/15 Not at all a good impression. I like black and dark layouts are great, but others really don't like them. The site it too dark. The banner isn't all that interesting and the background doesn't really work. There is a big gap between your sidebar and main content. There's just no color and it's all very boring.
Layout: 0/20 A premade that you edited. Really, the CSS is quite boring and there is an overabundance of gray. Use some colors and make the site brighter. When I think "Limelight" I think of something bright and cheerful. Plus the gap between your sidebar and main content is really annoying. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 You did good here. No mistakes. Neatness: 5/10 Everything is where is should be and all your links work. But there are a few things that need to be fixed. Move your credits section to the sidebar. It makes more sense there. And rearrange your navigation. Make it go in order of how things are placed on your site. And don't link to things in the sidebar. That's a bi no-no. There's no need for that. Navigation is only for things in the main content. Colors: 0/10 Dull. Very, very dull. Add color to give it some life. Quality: 10/20 There is potential in your graphics. Right now everything looks like it's been edited on Photobucket. Get a good image editing program if you can. GIMP is the program I use. I used it to make all my layouts, graphics, and link backs. It's free and works much like Photoshop. Put a little more effort into your graphics. Your link backs are requested. They're all pretty. I really love the lime one. But since you do make graphics, try making your own buttons. They're really not that hard to make. Updates: 10/10 You update often. Good job. There are small gaps and that's okay. Site Name: 5/5 I really love the name! Side Notes: Fix the gap in your layout and reorganize your navigation. Move your credits section to the sidebar. Work harder on your graphics. Also, to get people in your button contest, get the site out there. Make more affies and get it listed in more places. Total Score: 40/100 Buttoness
First Impression: 15/15 Lovely first impression! I love the layout. Very clean and simple. Not to mention quick loading! Very easy on the eyes and attractive. So far everything looks organized.
Layout: 20/20 Made completely by you! Wonderful! A very well made layout. I love that it is completely CSS. I cannot make awesome CSS layouts, they must be image based. So I respect you skills. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Didn't catch a thing! Great! Neatness: 10/10 Being a blog-style layout, everything is super neat! Everything is in the proper place and incredibly easy to find. No broken links or images. Nice work! Colors: 10/10 I adore these colors. The gray background is perfect, not too dark and not too light. The headers are all gorgeous and easy to read. Overall, the colors are pleasant and attractive. Quality: 19/20 Lovely buttons. You seem to have a certain style that shows through on your buttons, muck like how Stephanie at TGB does. When I see a button you made on another site, I know it's yours. It just says "Rebecca". I like that. It sets your buttons apart from everyone one elses. You have some awesome button borders. There aren't a lot, like on TGB or my site Dark Light. But the few that you do have a creative and fun. Each one stands out. Your animation styles are basic. Try coming up with a few creative ones. 127 buttons made. Wow. I've only made about 40 something on Dark Light. Looking at all the buttons you've made, I see major talent and skills. Now, button making isn't hard, but if I were new to it, I would have thought it was. You put so much detail and effort into your buttons. It gives the impression that button making is hard. Your link backs are simple and effective. Nicely done. Updates: 8/10 I see. You clear your updates every so often. That's all good, but I suggest keeping them all, then clearing them on the site's anniversary. That shows how dedicated you are to your site. If people see that you get on frequently to manage it, they will respect your efforts to run a good site. Now focusing on what you have posted, you do a good job at updating. Detailed and frequent. Good job. Site Name: 5/5 I LOVE IT! Buttoness! So cute! And yay for made up words! I make up words on a daily basis and seeing new ones just makes me giggle. A cute name for a cute site. Side Notes: Try some new animation styles if you have the time and consider keeping all your updates. Other than that, you have a marvelous site. Keep it up! ^^

Emzee's Music Codes
First Impression: 10/15 Oh. Your site isn't centered. That saddens me. The animated background is a bit too much. It's very distracting. The site banner doesn't really fit with the dark theme of the site. Everything looks organized at a glance. The song playing on your site it kind of annoying and very depressing. Plus I already had Bring Me The Horizon blasting from my laptop, so that took me by surprise. I know your site is a for music, but you should still have a warning at the head of your site stating that there is music playing.
Layout: 15/20 Okay. I see, it's a premade that you edited. Okay. I like it, but I think it needs more color. But overall, you did a good job on editing. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No mistakes. Nice work. ^^ Neatness: 5/10 Everything is exactly where is should be but it bugs me to death that the song sections are so terribly long. Put each category in scroll boxes, that will help organize the site more. You can hardly see your navigation because of the background, move it to the body of the layout where it can be seen against the white. Colors: 5/10 Very colorless. How boring. Add some color. Black and white go with everything, so try adding just shades of one other color, like blue or red. Quality: 18/20 Some of your songs aren't working, like the ones I've requested, but I know from past experience that they do. You do have a lot of song listed and you even have clean versions. That's great! I love the pixels used to mark songs with explicit content and songs that are clean. Very cute and helpful. You have a good variety of link buttons, all of which are attractive and do their job well. Updates: 8/10 You haven't updated in a while. And I do see some gaps here and there, but for the most part, everything is pretty much good. You give the right information and enough of it. Site Name: 5/5 Not the most creative name in the world, but it nice. It's easy to say and kind of catchy. Side Notes: Move your navigation to the body and add some more color to the site. Update a bit more and maybe try getting a non-animated background. You've got a great site that I visit frequently and I'd love to have some songs that work, so try getting the codes that aren't working fixed. Total Score: 76/100 Landslide![]()
First Impression: 10/15 I just love your layout! It's dark but not too dark. There are some CSS issues that really bother me, but more on that later. I see some things that need to be fixed organization wise.
Layout: 15/20 Okay. A custom. A very good custom. It bugs me that the headers flow over the edges of your sidebars. Fix it so they don't do that. To me that looks sloppy. Another thing about the CSS that doesn't sit well with me are the header styles. I can hardly tell what headers are what. They all seem to have the same style. Bottom borders are wonderful, but not on every headers. Change them up so they're all distinct. Give one a solid background color and give another a cool side border. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No mistakes here. Good job! Neatness: 5/10 The site is kind of sloppy. Okay. We'll start from the top and work our way down. Again the headers, fix them. Next, center everything in your sidebars. It will look much neater. At the bottom of your right sidebar, it scrolls horizontally. That's a big no-no. Get rid of that. I see link borders around buttons that need to be removed. Do something special for your top affiliates. Just cropping their buttons doesn't look very nice nor is it really an incentive to be one of your top affiliates. You could use pixels or make custom buttons for them. Everything else seems pretty organized. Colors: 10/10 I love, love, love the colors! They're all very calming. They remind me of the nighttime right after the sun sets and the moon starts to rise. Quality: 18/20 You really have a lot of sites listed. Some sites though aren't or very good quality. I know it's great to have tons of sites listed in your directory, but what good does it do someone who's searching for a good site when there are so many low quality ones listed. You should be a bit stricter with what sites you list. Don't just accept everyone. Only accept good sites. Updates: 10/10 You update frequently. There are small gaps, but that's okay. Site Name: 5/5 Awesome name and the little slogan is catchy. Love it! Side Notes: Fix your CSS, center the content in your sidebars, remove the horizontal scroll bar in your right sidebar, and remove all link borders. Really, it's just some site maintenance that you need to do. Total Score: 78/100 Guild Stack
First Impression: 8/15 Hm.... looks kind of boring upon first entering the site. I like the fact that the layout is a blog-style layout, but it's too close to that Neopets bar. Add a paragraph tag right before it to add some space. The banner is cute, but too simple. The site needs something more attractive. The CSS is plain, spice it up some. Your headers are really dull, those need to be bolder. The background is....icky.... that shade of green just doesn't match. Maybe try something with a faint pattern. Everything looks organized so far.
Layout: 15/20 I'm assuming that the layout was made by you. I don't see a credits section to tell me who made the layout. Add a credits section, those are important. It's a simple layout, so the CSS needs to be super fancy to balance everything out. The second headers are too hard to read. Change them so they are easier to read. The green and blue clash. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 I didn't see anything that needs to be fixed. Nice. Neatness: 8/10 Very organized. My only issues are the updates section and navigation. I suggest switching the navigation with the updates. Put the updates in the body of the site and the navigation off to the side. Move your counter to somewhere else. It just doesn't look right at the head of the site. If you move your navigation to the side it'll make getting around much easier. Where you have it now doesn't work well. Leaving it in the body of the site means you'll have to add "back to top" links at the end of every section. Colors: 5/10 I'm not liking these colors every much. The background is too dull for that bright blue border. Blue and green can work together, but you just have to find the right shades and combinations. There is too much white and too much black. Tone it done some with gray or silver. Quality: 15/20 You've got a few guild listed but I suggest looking on the Guild boards for some good guilds and neomailing the owners asking if you can list them. You've got two good link backs and two not so good ones. If you're not great at making buttons, request a few from some good sites. Updates: 9/10 You update frequently. Great. They're simple and to the point. However, on the 19th of October, you updated when there was nothing new to the site. There's no need to post that if there's nothing going on. Site Name: 5/5 A cute name! I really love it. Side Notes: Spice up your CSS and rework the colors. I really suggest swapping your updates and navigation around. It really will make your site better. Get some more guilds listed. You've got a good site, it just needs some work. Total Score: 74/100 Paper Thin
First Impression: 15/15 My first thought was, "Wow. Such a cute site." I love the background and the banner. The heart in the welcome message is adorable. I love the colors and everything seems organized.
Layout: 20/20 Okay a premade from KTL. A good choice. It works well with your site. The headers are great and the navigation is so fun! I can't stop scrolling my mouse over it. XD Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single mistake. Good work! Neatness: 10/10 Extremely organized! Nothing's out of place and everything is where it should be. It's very easy to navigate through your site and you have "back to top" links! I absolutely love "back to top" links! All your links work fine. Colors: 10/10 These colors work very well for your site. It fits the theme well with the gray and white and the pops of color are just enough to keep if from looking dull. Quality: 15/20 You've got a lot of sites listed. Nice work. You've got a few low quality sites listed. That's not good. A directory is supposed to helpful. How helpful can your directory be if you've got low quality sites listed. I recommend being a little more picky with who you list. I know it's great to have tons of sites listed, but it's better to have good sites listed. Look at my site, Rave. I've only got just over 40 sites listed there, but they're all of good quality. I don't want to direct people to bad sites where they won't find what they're looking for. I want them to have a selection of the most elite to go to. Eventually I'll have more sites listed that are all of good quality. Updates: 10/10 You update frequently and they're sometimes detailed. Good work. Site Name: 5/5 A catchy name. I like it. It's easy to remember, who could forget it? Side Notes: I strongly suggest becoming harsher with who you list. It may drop your listings down by a lot, but it will provide others with better sites to go to.

Maraquan Festival
First Impression: 10/15 So blue. It's overwhelming. The site needs a banner. It's too plain without a banner. The background is cute, I love the bubbles. Everything looks good so far.
Layout: 15/20 You made the layout. Great. Again, it's too blue. I think the tables should be white or a lighter shade of blue. The border should be darker to help it stand out more. And The CSS needs some work. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 No spelling or grammatical errors. Good. Neatness: 7/10 Everything is pretty much organized. I suggest putting your link backs, affies/listed at, and reviews in scroll boxes. There's just too much going on in the sidebar. And separate each line of credits with either break tags or paragraph breaks. Colors: 0/10 Not liking the overabundance of blue. Tone it down with some white or lighter shades of blue. Or try other colors. It's all very blinding after a while. Quality: 20/20 I love the pixel contest and banner contest. The button contest is great too. All seems to be doing well and I can tell you put a lot of effort into running everything. You have a good selection of link backs, all attractive and legible. Updates: 10/10 You update almost every day and you give good detail. Nice work keeping your visitors informed. Site Name: 5/5 Nice name. It's cute and fun. And it matches the site perfectly. Side Notes: Just organized your side bar a bit and change the colors. Other than that you have a wonderful site. Total Score: 73/100 Somersault![]()
First Impression: 15/15 Very nice first impression. The banner is gorgeous. All the colors match perfectly. I love the buttons going across the top for the navigation. Scrolling down, everything seems to be in order.
Layout: 20/20 Made by you and it's lovely. I love that it's split up on several pages. That makes everything load much faster and makes it much easier to get around. If I had that many pages to spare I'd do the same thing to Dark Light. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Didn't catch a thing. Nice work there. Neatness: 8/10 Clicking through every page I see that everything is wonderfully organized. The one thing that bothers me however was the lack of "back to top" links. You should add those to end of each section. Clicking is always better than scrolling. Colors: 10/10 I love the colors. I'm usually not a fan of neutrals, but they way you put them together just looks amazing. Everything matches your banner wonderfully. Quality: 20/20 Everything is marvelous! The competitions are well organized and thought out. Your requested graphics are awesome. And your link backs are incredible. Everything at Somersault is of the highest quality. Updates: 10/10 You don't skip a day, do you? Frequent and informative. Nicely done. Site Name: 5/5 At first I didn't really like the name, but after I kept saying it, it just seemed to click. It's cute. Side Notes: You've got a great site that has certainly racked up the hits and has become popular. Keep up the good work.

Exhilarating*
First Impression: 10/15 The site doesn't look very welcoming. The color scheme is great, but I think a banner would help make the site more inviting and add something pretty to look at. I like how the content off to the side is divided up into three boxes. Everything looks good so far.
Layout: 18/20 Made by you. Nice. I like the blog-style layout and I really love how the side content is divided into three sections. The CSS is a bit boring. Make it a little more interesting. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Nothing wrong here. Nicely done. Neatness: 10/10 Highly organized and easy to navigate. Since your navigation is off the side and you have a blog-style layout, there's always access to the navigation. All your links work and I love that you link back to all the sites you've made buttons for. Colors: 7/10 I like these colors, just don't love them. I've seen them used many times and it's just overdone. Quality: 20/20 Your request buttons are awesome. Some of the borders are really creative and they really stand out. I see you don't offer any options for your requesters. Maybe you should give them a choice in borders, or fonts at least. It'll help make their button more personal if they get to choose something specific. I do see that you ask for a specific image, that good. Your link backs are good and they serve their purpose well. Updates: 0/10 Only one daily update? I'm not a fan of those. It would be better if you kept all of your updates for a few months. I keep all of mine for a year then clear them all on the site's anniversary. Site Name: 5/5 A good name and the asterisk makes it even more unique. Side Notes: Offer some options to your requesters, get a banner, and keep all your old updates for a while. You've got yourself a good site, it just needs a few tweaks here and there. Total Score: 80/100 Soroptimist Directory
First Impression: 12/15 I like that the banner sort of blends in with the background but the layout is entirely too gray. It's very dull. I do like the gradient in the headers and scroll boxes. Everything looks organized as I scroll through.
Layout: 20/20 Completely made by you and you did an amazing job. I've always been a fan of your layouts. The CSS is great and like I said, I love the gradients in the scroll boxes and the headers. They're even in the navigation. That's just too cool. Overall, a very impressive layout. Spelling/Grammar: 10/10 Not a single thing wrong. You did good at keeping the site grammatically correct and spelling error free. Neatness: 10/10 Hm... how do I put this..... your directory is like a perfectly packed box of chocolates. It's so organized and easy to navigate. Colors: 5/10 I don't really like the colors. There's just too much gray. It makes everything seem washed out. But the pops of color do help a little. Quality: 10/20 Here is where directories start to lose points. Yes, you do have a lot of sites listed, but not all are good sites. And some have even closed down. Now, I know you don't have the time to check every link and that's okay. But maybe you shouldn't be so easy to list everyone. Directories are places where people go to find high quality sites to provide them with what they want. If you list sites that aren't any good, what good is it going to do your visitors? I know it's great having a lot of sites listed. I'd love to have that many on Rave. But having a list of only the elite will help not just your visitors, but your site. Updates: 5/10 Not that many updates. Although detailed, you should keep your older updates for a while before deleting them. Site Name: 5/5 To be honest, I never got the name of the site. Then I read your welcome message and understood it. And now I think it's one of the coolest names out there. Side Notes: Add some more color to the site and choose your listers a bit more carefully. Your site has definitely met Neopian fame and it's doing very well. Total Score: 77/100 TipsHere are some tips for anyone applying for a review or for anyone looking to improve their site. If you are applying for a review, checking out these tips and even using them will definitely help.
Get A CounterHaving a basic hit counter will show everyone just how popular your site is. You can get a free counter at Boingdragon(dot)com.Another type of counter is a "stalker" counter, as some like to call it. Basically it shows how many people are viewing your page at the same time. You can get a free "stalker" counter at Whos(dot)Amung(dot)Us. NavigationIf you site has a lot of content, make sure you have a system of navigation. Clicking your way through a site beats scrolling through it by a mile. And make sure to add links returning to navigation. I take off points for not having a system of navigation if a site has a lot of content. So learn how to make one.
To form a system of navigation, you use page anchors. To make page anchors you use these codes:

Have A Good LayoutA good layout is key to a successful site. The layout is what attracts your visitors and ultimately decides if they want to stay or move on to another site. You want them to stay and look around, right? Right! Then have a good, appealing layout!Making your own layout is the best way to go. People admire others who can code one. I know I sure do! Now, there are people who don't know how to code a layout. Well, you can learn. There are many helpful tutorials out there. You just have to look for them! I coded this layout on my own. But I had to learn how to do it from somewhere. So I turned to two amazing people with two amazing sites. Siddey of Siddey's CSS Help and Kitty of Coding Help by Kitty. Their guides are easy to follow and can help you learn to code.
Here are a few sites aimed to teach others CSS/HTML. Now, I have used these sites and I know from experience that these are good sites.
If you use one of the lovely guides be sure to credit them and say thank you for the help. Don't want to learn to code a layout? Or don't have the time? Then get a premade or request a custom. Now, on some review sites points are deducted for having a premade layout. I sometimes deduct points for having a premade. My advice to you is to choose your layout wisely. Editing it will also help. It shows that you tried to make it more your own. If you do edit the layout, leave credit to the person who made it! It's not your layout after you edit it! It still belongs to them! So credit them for the layout and credit yourself for the editing. Not all sites allow you to edit the layouts, so read the rules carefully! If you still aren't sure if you can edit them, neomail the owner and ask. Here are some sites with good quality premade layouts. I have used these sites and I believe they are good quality layouts. I don't know of any good sites where you can request a custom. So you'll have to so a hunt of your own if you wish to request one. Make Your Site CompatibleMost Neopians use Mozilla Firefox. Some still use Internet Explorer. And other use Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome. The two most popular browsers are Internet Explorer(IE) and Firefox(FF).Make sure your site looks and functions fine in most of these browsers. Now, it's okay if you don't have all these browsers. I only have Firefox and Internet Explorer. But there are many other people on Neopets that have these browsers. Go to the Help Boards and ask other people to check out your site. Ask them to click on the links and check the layout to make sure it all works. Ask for screenies if someone finds a problem so you can fix it. Having a browser friendly site is a good thing. Also, I see many people now have these cute pixel signs displaying their sites compatibility. A lot of people put these signs at the head of their site. I don't like that. Add it in your sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar, add it after your welcome message. MusicNow, I like it when a site has music on it. But most people don't.If you do happen to have music on your site, let people know. Post a warning somewhere in a sidebar, but not at the beginning of you site! Putting those things at the head of you site isn't welcoming. Add it to your sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar, add it after your welcome message. When posting a warning, also add how to stop the music. To stop a music code, simply press ESC on your keyboard. Be warned! By pressing ESC, you will also pause all animation on your site.
Link BordersThe evil link border! Ah!! *runs in circles screaming* These things are ugly! And they make your site look sloppy! They are easy to remove, so never fear! To remove these dreadful borders, put this code into the image tag.It should look like this when you put it in. If you need further help with this, feel free to neomail me. Shrinking ImagesIf you have images in a div box or if they are too large, they will make your div box scroll sideways or stretch your layout. That's not good! But there is a way to shrink them. Add this code to the image tag.It should look like this when you put it in. Play around with the pixel number until the image is small enough. You can also use the border code along with the width code in the same image tag. If you need further help with this, feel free to neomail me. Keep Your Visitors PostedLet people know your site is alive by adding an updates section. You don't have to update everyday, but every once in a while would be nice.Now, don't just update about anything. Keep them relevant to the site. Posting about your new haircut won't do your visitors any good. Posting about new graphics, reviews, changes to the site, ect. will help your visitors. Site NamesStarting a new site, but can't think of a name? Already have a site and need a new name? Well look here! Here I have a list of site names. Feel free to use them. All I ask is that you credit me. Neomail me if you decided to use one of the names so I can cross it off. It wouldn't be good if you took a name and didn't tell me. Some one else might choose that name and there would be two sites with the same name!If you'd like to add names to the list, neomail me. I'll be sure to credit you. If you see any names on here that are already taken, please neomail me. I cannot search all of Neopia to see if all of these names are available. I can only assume they are. I'll add more to the list over time.

Site PetThis is my lovely site pet. He has two older sisters and a younger brother. Hikaru is here to make sure you follow the rules and don't send hate mail. If you break the rules or send hate mail, Hikaru will come after you. I recommend adopting one of these cute critters, either to guard your site or just for fun. To do so, click here.
