First Impression: (3/5) Design problems (at this point looks resolution based). Lack of centering or at least picking one side, nav bar just right a few pixels. Entry bar is interesting. Design is different than past (easier to navigate). Main image is…different. Things have changed since I’ve last been here (hurricane link is gone, which was misspelled, and you’ve changed alt tags). Overall it matches at least a little. Still wondering why there’s two images of you on the main page if it’s not a rotating image.

Errors/Cohesion: (1/10)
-Pick buttons or text links here or at the very least separate the Globe listing from all the text ones, it’s not cohesive.
-On your profile you have everything separated by a colon except for your ‘I am’ section which received a semi colon, pick one.
-Spell-check is your friend. It’s ‘especially’ and ‘won’t’ and ‘Jamaican’. And maybe Unitarian, not ‘Unitation’ ?. My mother would die if I had pictures like that up of myself.
-Um…Sometimes I wish I didn’t click links. I see pink dogs, for proof check this screen shot: pink dogs?
-If this is your current cast page, then link it that way off your nav bar.
-I’m starting to get freaked out by the backgrounds.
-You’ve got some strange stuff going on here with images showing up, screenshot here.
-Your cast page is…making me wonder if I really need it. There’s a lot of links everywhere and it’s gone from helpful to overwhelming and distracting. Also, why would I rate someone’s looks off of your cast page?
-First, if you’re going to test your own comments, delete them after you do. Second, that page is so not even readable. I had the hardest time and ended up squinting and highlighting. That shouldn’t be necessary.
-The template on your older page isn’t the same. Bummer.
-Overall, I think I visited every page, you need to work on cohesion like no other, and spell check everything please – everything.

Navigation: (8/10) Your nav bar is first shifted a little right (in all resolutions) so it doesn’t horizontally match up with your preview or entry box. Your link to the cast page links to what you tell me is the wrong one, and your “darkness” and “old glow” links tags are a little conspicuous. I’d stay with a little more obvious synonym. Other than that, same old hat, pretty nice (way better than before).

Layout: (32/50) Well this site is layout based, as you know, as well as one hell of a stickler for cohesion. So we’ll go with that…

I don’t like the entry preview. The theory of it is fine, odd but fine, but I don’t like the way the white boxes surround your image on all but one side. It just doesn’t suit the eye preferences.

As mentioned your navigation box is shifted right a few pixels.

I’m not even going to comment on the strange random backgrounds that keep peeking up. I was too overwhelmed by your code to go look up why but – eh.

The image is your choice completely. The one thing that does bother me is that there are two static pictures of you on the page. It just sends of an interesting image…I suppose. Either way they clash.

And lastly, the actual placement of the page. Here’s what it looks like in 1024x768 (now the standard). As you can see it’s not centered a little to the left and looks a little arbitrary. In my resolution (1280x1024) it looks a bit like this. Still to the left and a little oddly placed so. I’m much more of a fan of centering if you’re not having a template that’s taking up your entire page. Or at least picking some amount of space that’s appropriate.

The problem with your design is that your first eyeful (and what’s called single page design look) is completely of that image and a tiny bit of your entry (which doesn’t lend itself to being left justified). I’d just suggest centering it – that way it’ll look similar in all resolutions and in all browsers (except mozilla).

Also, for the record, I checked your page in MSN explorer, IE, and Mozilla/Opera.

Content: (16/25) I don’t believe in “best entries.” I think that everything you write should be art and love and you to the core. Is this you? If so, I’m worried. Quizzes to burning houses, to debt, to Jeremy, to true love? I’m having a hard time swallowing this all.

Work on having a point or write for yourself. And if you’re writing for yourself then you shouldn’t care what I have to say.

Also, spell-check, please.

I read a lot. And you have a lot to say. That’s cool and all but you really need to work on balancing purpose and presence and whether or not what you’re saying has any merit or is necessary.

Final Score: (60/100)
