serenity greviews review

[r/n; as much as I might know you, I will say my opinion about this site because you asked me for it. if you disagree with me, that sort of sucks, and this is
your site. you don't have to follow my advice. give credit to me by reposting this or linking me.]
image: 7.5/10
i like it, it's really simple with the title on clearly, but it still matches well. The title and pretty much the entire image is the slightest bit grainy, probably
because of saving a big picture on a jpg. maybe because your whole layout is really simple, the image looks unfinished. maybe blending more things into it or using brushes.
layout: 5.5/10
like I said before, it's really simple, so it just seems unfinished. the right bar has a scroll bar under it, and it's not pretty. The only thing that goes over it is the link you have on the bottom. I don't think you have CSS, so the headers for welcome, blog, and the dates are really dull. I wouldn't suggest having 'blog' over that column, because it's not entirely neccessary and it just sort of sticks out for no reason. but I don't blame you for not having anything fancy; blogspot is almost impossible to code by yourself, and you did a pretty good job at it anyway. Use blogskins.com, it helps a tonn, and if you just add minor changes to the coding and add your own image, it makes it a lot more interesting.
color: 3/5
The brown default text matches pretty well, but since everything's like that, it's wayy boring. The cbox doesn't match. it sounds really picky, but skyblue+green+brown+white is not good, just like if someone shoved all of those colors onto one poster in stripes. maybe a purplish-blue to match with the poster? Also, the link color is sort of... just dull. I thought it was default purple link color, but it's just the color you chose. For the links, try something like a block navigation bar or something to differentiate from just plain links.
text: 7.5/10
I hate to repeat myself, but it's still just boring. the headers are bolded and underlined, so it's just nothing really special. I like the font, trebuchet ms, since it's not arial or verdana, but it's a little too big and it makes the site look amature. usually an 11 or 10 pt is good.
organization: 10/10
Everything is pretty organized, with good explanations to everything and walkthroughs. the only thing i say is on the 'graphic review?' page, use the same bullet points instead of both and +.
creativity: 10/10
This site's entire idea is really new and creative. haha. love it how you made your own worddd. it's catchyyy man.
requesting: 10/10
all clear, it's really simple and way easy to use, and you cut right to the point on how you want it.
etc [music players, videos, widgets, tutorials, other crap]: 5/5
I like your tutorials and walkthroughs for everything. Those pages are actually really useful:D
activity: 5/5
you're really good at keeping new updates every few days, unlike me [ehh.] it really encourages people that you're really dedicated and want to help them, and it makes them feel like you know them. even though you said you don't advertise and do affiliates, you still do really well with being known:3
communication: 5/5
you respond really quick on other cboxes and on your own cbox:3 you also had a 'contact' box, so that's always good to have.
overall: 78.5/95
hope this helps youu! i really liked your content and ideas and everything, just the layout had brought the score down. keep it up:)
