first impression
mark: 16/20
At first glance your site looks very inviting, I love the colour scheme and brushes you've used. The images are a bit blurry and not very good quality which is a shame. The headers are very original if a little too much. The CSS is very nice, easy to read and matches the layout well. The main blog section could be a bit bigger as there's quite a gap between that and the sidebar. But overall a very well made layout and CSS, great first impression.
content
mark: 33/40
The content page looks really good, I like how you've written a sentence or two under each link. The blinkies and pixels are very impressive and i'd love to see more. Likewise I love the bullets, all are made very well and in a range of colours. The icons are also made very well though there aren't that many. I think you should definitely make more as you're really talented at making them and have different pages for different sections, to make it look cleaner. The emoticon sets are really lovely, they're cute and original and I think you should ad a wider range of colours. The web icons are made to perfection and are a very useful resource. Again, more colours would be better. I'd like to see more colour schemes and i'd suggest putting some credit on them to stop thieves, but I like how you've done 4 colours instead of the usual three. The blends are also made well but I think they would look better if you didn't blend the images so close to each other and leave a little space inbetween? I also think by adding some textures and brushes that would take them to another level. I really like the wallpapers, you've obviously spent a lot of time on these and it shows, well done. You have a good range of fonts which will be very useful to others and the HTML and CSS tuts are done very well. I think you could definitely make more tutorials, not just on coding but graphic-related too. Lastly the facts and birthday wall are really nice fun editions to your website. The only thing i'd suggest with the facts is having larger spaces between each one to make them easier to read. Overall you have some great content, you're very talented, particularly at pixels & blinkies, and by adding more and developing the content you could have an extremely successful site.
blogs

You blog regularly and fully, talking about both your life and the site. You give readers a lot to comment about and sometimes add pictures too to make the blogs more interesting. No suggestions, keep blogging the way you blog (:
other pages
mark: 19/20
The section about you is organized really well and is very interesting and informative. I think it's a really good idea not to have everything crammed onto one page. I love the creative writing section, I think you're really good at writing and I love that you wanted to show that by putting some of your pieces onto the site. Likewise the site section is equally as organized and you have everything anyone would ever need to know and extras too. The presents are really cute and a lovely touch. The only suggestion i'd make would be to have different sized buttons to link back, perhaps some 100x35 ones? And the affiliates section doesn't seem to work, I think a broken link? Otherwise, perfect.

Other affiliates of yours are very happy with you, you comment regularly and run your website well. One affiliate also found you to be very mature and you deal with issues very well. Being an affiliate myself I can honestly say it's a pleasure visiting your site, I always find plenty to comment on and your comments as well are lovely to read. You are a great affiliate and a very successful webmistress.

You own a very successful site which you should be very proud of. You offer unique and well-made resources, each of which shows how much time and effort you have put into making them. I hope you keep developing and adding content to the site as I think you have a lot of potential and are a perfect webmistress. Well done (:
