Site Name
It’s so simple, quirky and easy to remember. Great job. I love the name ‘Geekish’ a lot. It reflects personality and I’ve always been jealous of people with .nu domains 
Layout
It definitely stands out. I really like the different colours used. Nice to see difference between the sidebar and content headers. Very easy on the eyes, and appears very user friendly.
The sidebar looks great! The navigation is bold and clear and stands out. The sidebar isn’t a whole mess of stuff. The tag cloud is particularly interesting, I’ve always been interested by these on people’s sites, and it adds that personal touch.
Your site is validated which is excellent! The CSS I can’t really complain about. You have two errors in it though (see here). They’re such tiny errors – you have accidentally placed two commas somewhere, and you have no value after a colon. Just fix those up and your CSS should be fine!
I’m not really liking the stripy background because it’s particularly striking but all in all it works well with everything else.
Your layout is perfect, well styled and unique. The font size is very comfortable, by the way.
Content
GEEK
No problems on this page, your introduction is straight to the point and well written. Looking through your Q&A, I’m hoping you don’t think my reviews are horrid (feel free to think that my site is horrid because I suck at graphics big time).
A minor problem I see here is that when I navigate on the next pages in your Q&A, the sidebar changes and I no longer see your ‘More about Me’ further links – I see your tag cloud again. Maybe you could look into fixing that.
I won’t be reviewing your other sites of course, but I noticed you had a picture of yourself on your pixel art site and think it would be nice to have one at Geekish.nu.
All your pets are so adorable. I loved reading about them. These sorts of pages I really quite like. I suggest putting them in alphabetical order by name for a bit more organisation unless you already have an order for them (in which case it would be best to specify that they’re ordered by age, or otherwise).
Your random facts are very interesting. I can do that to my tongue too . I think tow should be toe in your second last fact.
GOODIES
It’s lovely that this page is organised! And I really like how you have validated your free website template. I notice the comments now, and the smilies match your layout so well! 
I remember visiting your site before you had applied for a review, and I was impressed by the Quotish script.
You have such impressive skills, it’s no wonder your website review is written so well. I just had to read it, knowing your skills. I’ve actually got that website in queue so I’m thankful to you for pointing out the coding errors, but I’m a real grammar Nazi so I’ll be stuck there . I think you should offer reviews on your site because you have great coding skills.
You do mention Please refrain from contacting me and asking for a review, yet you have completed a requested one, so I’m not sure if you don’t mind doing them, or not.
I had to look up MX from your web host reviews because I was unsure of what that meant. But this page is really quite good because it lets people know of different hosts from your opinion. I also think it’s crazy that DreamHost doesn’t have a cPanel (I love them a lot).
DOMAIN
Haha this made me laugh. It definitely shows personality. I look up domain names for fun too. I didn’t know there was a website for anti-www! Thanks!
Excellent you have links to your reviewers and also credits!
LINKS
Well organised, no complaints here.
Originality
I’ve really seen nothing like your site. A great layout that stands out, an informative site but one that revolves around the owner.
Organisation/Errors
Everything was organised perfectly. I am just a little concerned with the way the sidebar changes while navigating through your Q&A. And quickly, fix up those two tiny errors in your CSS!
Overall comment
Hannah, your site really made a great first impression, and it’s definitely one I will remember. Your site is very unique and really stands out.
I don’t have many suggestions, but only that you should add a little more content – scripts, reviews, articles, the lot! Because currently you only have one thing in each section, if you see what I mean. What you have is great but I suggest adding some more.
I can see you’re a great writer, and I don’t know about your thoughts, but I think that if you offered reviews later on, that would really help people.
I was very pleased that your site was validated (apart from the tiny CSS errors), because usually I have to review sites with hundreds of errors.
Your site shows you have a lot of skill and like I said, your site is very impressive. I look forward to any articles you write in future and any visitor content you may wish to add!
