theme: gallery
Boy is this an ugly layout. The yams are cut off, there is a bottom bar, totally disorganized! I thought it was a Chibi-Usa shrine. The updates text is too small, the cliques thing is tiny and unreadbale. the font colour is painful. no duh you don't own the characters, that's what copyright means. you're repeating yourself.
No thumbnails?? I can't stang galleries with text links. the layout doesn't fit my screen at all. those aren't manga, that's doujinshi. StarS? it's just Stars. Henshin mean transformation in Japanese, not English. The transformed mars pics are repeated. Yeah, Eternal Sailor Star Neptune is wrong, only Usagi is Eternal. hair blowing michi leads to michi smiling. I am detecting a pattern. that last image leads to the first image. hotaru with saturn in bg is a doujinshi cover.
Surprisingly, the images are all very good quality. I appreciate quality over quantity. please don't put 'images' after every name, because that's obvious. About This Site is also VERY obvious, except for the last bit. yeah, don't let us reviewers get ya down!
About The Creater-put the imood thing on it's own line. you are 13 but look 16. do i need to know that? Everything is bunched together making it more likely for me to skip over it.
I've never liked just random link buttons, put a short description after each one. hey, we're up there! finally, someone linked us for our services.
Past Layouts should be put on hold until you have a new layout.
Now this is really, really stupid. there are no links in the credits, just a list. that is SO wrong.
anyway. this was a good little site. not spectacular though. I've seen all of these images before, except for two. how boring. get a better layout, more pics, and never use a drop down menu ever again.
¤ I use 1024 x 768, but, pardon my French, this layout sucks. Since you have recommended such a large res. why do you use a size 1 font? That is reserved for sub headings, use 2 or 3 for body text. Also some of your elements overlap. The graphics are somewhat lacking.
¤ Yikes, you menu is over-crowded. Also drop down menus have fallen into the mundane catagory. Try something original like dhtml/ dynamic menus or a table with a hover effect?
¤ Thought this was a Chibi Usa site cause of the title, guess not. Some of your galleries are very small.
¤ Your menu is rather haphazard, some menus are in all caps and others aren't. No offense but if you 13 I doubt you look like your 16, it is actually quite easy to pick out freshman from sophmores and your not even in highschool yet; unless you have a picture for evidence, I wouldn't make blind statements.
¤ You ought to merge your 'about' and 'sitey' sections since they only have two levels to them.
¤ In general there's not much up yet (I don't know if you plan to add more or not). Since you plan to focus on pics you should link the sites in your credits, since basically all you are doing is saving pics to your cpu and uploading them.
Main- At first glance I thought this was a Chibiusa shrine, but looking down the menu I can see this is a gallery site. Okay, no problem. The pictures of Chibimoon and Chibiusa seem to be a little choppy, perhaps use an image editor to fade out the edges a bit. Oddly, your counter seems to be *underneath* the "View my Guestbook" link, perhaps try putting it on a separate line. *sighs* Another drop-down menu... I really don't like these, because I can't see all of the links in one glance, plus it requires me to click more than once. Regular text links are best.
Usagi Tsukino Images- All of the image links work.
Chibi Usa Images- All of the links work.
Ami Mizuno Images- All of the links work.
Rei Hino Images- You've got the same image twice, the one of Super Sailor Mars at the end of her transformation. It's the first and last image.
Makoto Kino Images- All of the links work.
Minako Aino Images- All of the links work.
Haruka Tenou Images- All of the links work.
Michiru Kaiou Images- Sailorneptune's final form doesn't have a special name, she's probably still known as Super Sailor Neptune, even though she has a different fuku. The fifth and last images are the same image.
Setsuna Meiou Images- All of the links work.
Hotaru Tomoe Images- The third image is not an official SM image, because it's from a doujinshi. You might want to note that.
This Page- Just a simple page outlining where everything is.
The Creator- Info on the webmistress. I had a feeling you were a Chibiusa fan ^_~.
Links- The button links look nice. *grins* I like I Review's button ^_~.
Link Me- The buttons and banner are fine, but it would be nice if you put the address of your page on this page so that people know where to link to, and even code for using the buttons/banner would be nice.
Awards I've Won- All the links to the award images work.
Past Layouts- Just has a description of the current layout, since this is your first. It seems to have the same info as was on the This Site page, but I guess that's because it's your first layout. o_o
Contact- Why not put your MSN messenger name instead of putting "same as email"? Do you mean the first part of the address or the entire thing?
Credits- Okay, here's my turn to rant. You've made a small gallery using images from other people's sites. You've got the names of their sites listed, but not their links. Why? I know some of them are in the links section but you should have their links on the credits page as well. Personally, I don't see the point in making a gallery site using other people's images. It's unoriginal and pointless.
In closing- Your site doesn't have any major errors, but to me it's a boring site. Try something original. I noticed on the This Site and Past Layouts pages you mentioned that you started this site because your old one was getting bad reviews. Did you try to take the advice of those reviewers? I don't know what that site was about, but to me it's pointless to have a gallery site if they aren't your own images. I noticed that you like Chibiusa, why not make a Chibiusa shrine? There sure aren't enough of those, since alot of the good ones have died. *goes hunting for your other sites* I found your other sites, and I don't see why you couldn't concentrate your energies on these.

*cracks knuckles* Heeeeeere we go! Okay, the image of Rini is too far right! Even hitting F11 doesnt help much! Move it! Next, the text reading **Pink Stardust** is too compact and very fuzzy, spread it out more horizontally, better looking! The counter does NOT need that many zeroes! You also should try http://www.thecounter.com for a much better design! Im not one for Times New Roman, but meh! The text for 'Last Updated..' should be moved more right and the text is way too small! The guestbook images are over top of the counter, and should be moved downwards. Everything looks like it was just thrown on the page! There is absolutely no alignment! >.< By the way, not one for menu bars...
-->
You shouldnt have the cliques and webrings placed in a pop up, cause, like I thought, you didnt have it so that the links pop up into a blank page, meaning, Im stuck in the pop up [just as bad as being stuck in frames] and I cant scroll down! Never a good thing!
-->
Oh yay! This is guna be a short review! I cant go anywhere cept for the Webrings and Cliques, Guestbook and Updates! The damn menu bar wont let me go anywhere! Fix it! But for now, I have no where to go, SO.... *stamps a big fat 'X' on Pink Stardust* Come back when you actually have something please!
*muah* Sending you her love,
*** Diana
Chibiusa layout ... yay. Just the thing I needed to do on my first day of grade 11. Review! I need to do something aside from describing myself and my beliefs on life and death.
Layout- Actually looks pretty good, desipe being Chibiusa. I know the original image is Chibiusa & Chibimoon leanign against a window/mirror. There's one of Sailormoon that I've seen, too, but it's not a side image. More like on an angle... I'm babbling.
Pink text on a black background works-- something I've done a few tiems, despite my absolute hatred of the colour pink. Guestbook buttons are overlaping the counter.
Image Galleries, the links are the senshi primary color. That's cool, but not really original.
Usagi - Six Images. Cute Usagi-chan as the side image. She's got the Eternal broach, which means it's my season... hey, I never knew she had a pocket on her shirt. Some of those images are one's I've never seen before. Niiiice.
Chibiusa - Five pictures. Somewhat serious picture of Chibiusa and Diana as side picture. Jesus, I despise Chibiusa, and yet I've managed to see most of these pictures of the spore before...
Ami - nine images. Ami-chan looks pretty in that picture. Again, mostly pictures I don't recognise. Excellent.
Rei - Six images. Looks like the one of Rei to the side was editted. Legs and skirt are choppy. First image and last image look the same.
Makoto - Eight images. Again, side image looks rough and uneven.
Minako - Side picture's pretty common. Six images. Dammnit, don't you have any bigger galleries? Some nice not often seen pictures of Minako, though. (Manga Venus w/Cresent moon is known as Sailor V, the false princess)
Haruka - The, probably, most overused picture of Haruka as the side image. Of course. Five images.
Michiru - Seven images. Nice side image. Not one I'm familiar with. Nor are the images in the gallery.
Setsuna - Six images. Yet again, a number of images I am not familair with, yet the side image is a very popular Setsuna image.
Hotaru - (Why is Hotaru last? Saturn-sama should come first... or after Koneko, whatever...) Six Images. traditional Hotaru Side image. There are very few images of Saturn that I have not seen (I'm obsessive...) You have now offical dropped that number of images by three.
The Abouts - Whoo! I'm finally out of images! It took me three days!! And I'm not going to do this part. I never do this part, anyways. Past Layouts - Yes, I skiped the stuff between Abouts & Past Layouts. What your point? "The first and current layout". Cute little saying to go with it. Okai! Aian is done with this one.
