Site Name
First of all, congratulations on the domain.
I like this name better than your old site name. It has a very nice ring to it and it’s quite unique.
Coding and Validation
Your coding is valid.
Your CSS has 1 error.
I’m really impressed that you took the time to validate your site. Your coding also looks a lot neater and more organised!
The error in your CSS is caused by this:
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: url(http://destinedtofall.info/images/harryjuddbackground.jpg);
background-repeat: NO-REPEAT;
</style>
You're forgetting a } afterwards. Also, why is this styling embedded? There would be no problem putting it in your cSS.
Browser Compatibility & Usability
According to Browsershots.org your site looks fine in all browsers!
The font size is easy to read - standard Arial. Nice.
The navigation is clear and well spaced out. The smaller letter spacing in the regular links is something I haven't seen, but I think it could be a bit less squished; some of the words are hard to read when they're links.
Layout
I like it! It's centered, and it's a nice and neat horizontal layout.
You've used a nice textured background. It's quite unique how the image leads out from the top of the page. It's very creative and there's a good use of colour here.
The blending in the image is done well. It's a small image, and I like the style you use in your layouts.
Great job on the layout! The cSS matches well and uses colours from the image. It's a great layout.
Content
Site
You need a period after "Sianay".
no where should be nowhere
come, I'd should be come; I'd.
On your 'about Dani' page:
names should be name's
three time should be three times
them, it's should be them; it's
ok should be OK or okay.
On your advertising page:
asked for should be ask for
site, I should be site; I
theif should be thief.
On your affiliates page:
any way should be anyway
anyones should be anyone's
happens, that's should be happens; that's.
One of your points here doesn't start on the next line - perhaps you are forgetting a line break.
Buttons and credits are fine. Make more buttons though.
Hosting page has a few errors:
muct should be must
page, I should be page; I
straigth should be straight
limit, it should be limit; it.
Portfolio
"Copyright" would be better as "Copyrighted".
I like how you've used Lightbox for this. Very organised and orderly. I don't usually like it because it takes a long time to load though.
Your many subpages here are a bit annoying.
I won't go through your fanfiction again as I noticed that you have corrected those mistakes. Do be sure to spell-check things before publishing; that might help.
On your article on a successful website - definately should be definitely.
the sorts should be the sort.
Love this article!
The one on celebrity images is also great. On this page you have a few question marks as symbols - probably from the use of the pound sign - well, they appear near prices.
Resources
Well set out. It's nice that you put all these on one page because you don't have many.
Reviews
I obviously won't review this section. But it's good to see that you have improved on your coding and with your site organisation. You give good reviews, from what I have read.
Tutorials
Rather than using <textarea> for coding, use <code>. You can customise it with CSS by auding "code" as the selector.
On your absolute path tutorial, past should be paste.
Personally, I rather like the note that you made about using absolute path for PHP includes.
Contests
On the entries in Haloscan, it still reads your old site name.
Originality & Creativity
Your graphic skill is great, as I believe I mentioned last time.
Your site is definitely more original. Those articles really stood out. I'm glad you fixed up those tutorials too.
Organisation & Errors
Very, very well organised! Much better than last time, and you have done a good job having everything work in many browsers.
Overall Comment
Your site has definitely improved, Dani. I am pleased that you are now looking into and being serious about validating your site. It's very impressive!
Your site is also a lot more original and organised. I think you have made some excellent improvements.
There's really nothing to suggest; just to fix up those grammatical errors. Great work, and keep it up.
