Content 10/10: You've got a good number of layouts started. And I like how you have them organized too. Plus, the two that aren't Harry Potter are good too. Gives your site a bit of a change but not too much. I like how you use a number of stylesheets and it looks like you made your own stylesheet too.

langaliciousxlaysSite Name 10/10: [langaliciousxlays] It's cute and tells what you offer
First Impression 7/10: The glitters are spread all over the place and try to use only one update glitter. Also, the background picture is cute but it really should be in one of the bottom corners. And try using an ad-remover for the ad at the top of the screen. Also, hiding the search bar does wonders for a site.
Content 10/10: You have a lot for being open for a while. Keep it up!
Popularity 5/10: You really ought to advertise more. My suggestion is to apply to directory sites and such as well as join some blogrings if you haven't already. Also, try getting sister sites.
Organization 8/10: Things were organized as far as I could tell. Good job! Not many sites are organized very well. Try using scroll bars though.
Grammar/Spelling 5/10: Some of the spelling and grammar was hard to follow. Make sure your grammar is good because as a service site, you're held to higher standards than a regular site.
Updates 2/10: I found the updates alright but you really should update at least twice a week if you can. Also, if you're going to go on long spurts of being gone from xanga, call a hiatus.
Links 10/10: All your links work fine. Great!
Personality 10/10: I can definately tell it's your site. You've used a lot to personalize your page. Good job!
Creativity/Originality 8/10: It's really creatively laid out and you've done a good job making it your own. Good job! The icons and quotes really do add to it.
Bonus +2: Two points for the quotes and icons you added to your update.
Total: 77/100 C
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only major suggestions is to organize your site with scroll bars and get rid of the ad as well as the search bar. That and start advertising on other people's sites so you get more visitors. Otherwise, keep it up!

First Impression 10/10: It looks good and you have things well organized and everything is right there. Good job!
Content 10/10: You have a lot of layouts and I like how you have links to older layouts that are on another site. Same with the graphics. You really do have a lot for being open a year. One thing that you should do is make sure you have at least two of each stylesheet. I noticed that one or two stylesheets only had one layout.

Links 10/10: All your links work well. Great job! ^_^
Personality 10/10: It's full of stuff that says that the site is yours which is good. Most sites don't have that kind of stuff. Great job!
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Some of the stylesheets are the same ones I've seen almost everywhere but you do have quite a few new stylesheets which is good. Also the graphics are very original and some of them are really creative and the "help" one with the military man made me laugh.
Bonus +2: Reviews and Gifts, but that's all the extra that I found.
Total: 98/100 A
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only suggestion is to double check your grammer and it's a shame that you have so many jockers. I guess that being popular means that you have jockers. It looks like you're doing really well and that they're just a small annoyance. Keep it up!

buttons_eat_ur_faceSite Name 10/10: [buttons_eat_ur_face] Very original, a little weird but very original.
First Impression 10/10: It's not entirely simple but it's very creative. The background isn't too busy and the colors go really well. It looks really nice and isn't hard to follow. Good job! ^_^
Content 10/10: You seem to have a lot of buttons. And it seems like you put work into what you make which is always good. It looks like you only have three pick-ups right now but I know I've seen that area full of buttons so I'm guessing people have been picking them up.
Popularity 10/10: From what I can tell, you're very popular. I think you've been open for about a month and a half longer than my layout site and it seems like you've been busy and I've rarely seen buttons not made by you.
Organization 10/10: You're very organized. Everything was very easy to find.
Grammar/Spelling 10/10: I couldn't find any grammar or spelling mistakes. Good job! ^_^
Updates 10/10: You update once every few days and I'm guessing you're in college so I can understand the not having time (I'm starting in two weeks) so I'll give you full credit because each time you update, you get a lot done.
Links 10/10: All your links work really well. Great! Very easy to manuver around too!
Personality 6/10: I couldn't really find much personality other than in your updates, the "currently listening" and your record that you have. I'd say give it a spice more personality to the writings and such otherwise it'll look like a strict business unless that's what you're going for and if so, then you're doing fine.
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very creative and original. I like sites like this because they're not the same mundane stuff over and over. ^_^
Bonus +5: Gifts, Reviews, FAQ. Great having those. Also, your own button is really easy to read and very cute.
Total: 101/100 A+
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: Your site is very well organized and it looks like you know what you are doing as to running a service site. The only thing I could suggest is a little more personality to your site to make people see that you're more friendly than it makes you show. Right now, it makes you look as if you're all business and if that's what you want to have, then you're doing great.

nightoftheliving_imagesSite Name 10/10: [nightoftheliving_images] Very cute and unique and tells what you offer. Good job! ^_^
First Impression 10/10: Very good first impression and your site loaded pretty quick for a graphics site. It only took a few minutes and some sites I've been to have taken at least ten.
Content 10/10: You have quite a few of all the topics that you have your graphics categorized in. Plus, they're all really original and I haven't seen many of these before. Good job!
Popularity 10/10: You are extremely popular for only being open three months. I'd expect you to have been open for about 6 or more with the amount of subscribers you have.
Organization 8/10: Everything is very organized. I am a little confused about the review at the top above everything on the right side. Otherwise, it's very well organized.
Grammar/Spelling 7/10: I did notice that you rarely capitalize things on your site when not in the FAQ. You really should capitalize and double check grammer before posting.
Updates 5/10: I only see one update (the last updated one) and it says you've been open for about three months. You really should have an update box just so people know that you're active on your site.
Links 8/10: All your links seem fine except for a few icons at the end that exceeded their bandwith. My suggestion to you on that is upload them under a different name to break the links that people have used.
Personality 8/10: The picture is good because it shows you with sparklers but the only other thing that makes the site yours is the FAQ.
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very creatively designed and very original. I like how you say where your graphics and fonts come from. Good job! ^_^
Bonus +2: Bonus points for the amazing amount of subscribers in such a short amount of time.
Total: 88/100 B
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only suggestion is to fix the icons at the bottom of some of the boxes and to get a small blurb about yourself up somewhere on your site as well as get an update box going. Otherwise, you're doing fine!

horrormovieromance_xlaysxSite Name 5/10: [horrormovieromance_xlaysx] The name is extremely long and very easy to forget. Plus, you don't really have that many layouts from horror movies or many romances. Also, it says nothing about offering graphics and icons.
First Impression 10/10: I really like how the main site looks. The summer layout works really well and who doesn't love Charlie Brown?
Content 8/10: You have an amazing amount of icons and graphics but the layout number is really low. You need more layouts than you need icons or graphics.
Popularity 6/10: You're not very popular even if you did shut down for a year almost. You really need to advertise yourself more and get more affiliates.
Organization 10/10: Very organized. Good job!
Grammar/Spelling 6/10: I found quite a few grammar and punctuations as well as capitalization mistakes. As a service site, you need to have very few to no mistakes like this.
Updates 4/10: I only see two updates. It says that you re-opened on the 6th of this month. You really should have all the updates from everytime you did something since then.
Links 8/10: Almost all of the links work fine. A few icons weren't linked right and I kept getting an X even when I tried to refresh the image.
Personality 10/10: You've got the box about yourself and the site stats which is good. Shows that the site is yours.
Creativity/Originality 6/10: It's a very original site but some of the stylesheets are either really close to each other or they've been used before countless times. I could only find two stylsheets that I haven't seen before.
Bonus +3: I like how you set goals for your site. That's really the only way to get popular.
Total: 76/100 C
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My suggestion is to get more layouts made and make your stylesheets a little different so people see them and think of your site rather than just another stylesheet that's been used to death. Also, work on getting advertised more. Plenty of sites offer a Site Of The Week spot and would be more than willing to feature you. Also, get involved with as many directories as you can. It seems like you're off to a good start. If you keep it open during the school year, you probably will get a lot more subscribers.

heartxoquotesSite Name 10/10: [heartxoquotes] Very catchy. I really like it. ^_^
First Impression 10/10: It really looks like you put time into your site and you have side modules which not many quote sites have. Plus, your navigation links are right there and I didn't have to look for it. Plus, the colors go really well and are very welcoming and make me think of fruity drinks with your icons and after this, I think I'm gonna go make myself something to drink. ^_^
Content 10/10: Very nice quotes. I really like them. You have a variety too which is good. Plus you have at least 15 quotes in each update.
Popularity 10/10: Very good start on the subscribers and almost all of the posts have 20 comments or more. Good job on that. Keep advertising and you could become really popular.
Organization 10/10: Very well organized.
Grammar/Spelling 8/10: I only found a few puncutation errors. Good job.
Updates 8/10: You update every few days or so. I'd update every other day to get more popular but don't let the lapse exceed three days if you're trying to become popular.
Links 10/10: All the links work. Good for you. ^_^
Personality 10/10: You have a side module about yourself and you add a little bit of spice to the updates. Keep it up! ^_^
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very creative and I love how you put a few icons in each update.
Bonus +5: Reviews, sisters, and a poll. Nice.
Total: 101/100 A+
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only suggestion is to try updating a little bit more and just double check your work for punctuation errors and you're good to go! Keep up the good work!

wonderland_musicSite Name 10/10: [wonderland_music] Very creative. Makes me think of winter and you have music in your name. Good job! ^_^
First Impression 10/10: I absolutely love the background! It's very original and cute! I also love how everything is right there and you don't have to go searching for it.
Content 8/10: You have quite a bit for being open for only three months. I'd get a little bit more since I noticed that on some you have quite a few but on others, you don't.
Popularity 10/10: Very nice amount of subscriptions for being open three months.
Organization 10/10: Very organized. Good job! ^_^
Grammar/Spelling 9/10: Didn't find any grammer or spelling mistakes with the exception of very rare capitalization.
Updates 5/10: The only update that I saw was the part where you said that codes were fixed to a certain point. I'd try putting up an updates space just to say what is going on with the site. ^_^
Links 10/10: All that I tried worked. Good job! ^_^
Personality 7/10: I really only see personality in the sister sites area. You do seem like a nice person but I wouldn't know your name if you hadn't put it on the application.
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very original background and not many people have a FAQ anymore. Love how you used imeem for your own personal song too. And the pixels are cute too.
Bonus +5: Creative way of doing the sister sites, counter, FAQ, reviews, links to your other sites
Total: 94/100 A
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: I'd suggest only to put up a module with a little information about you like you have on your quotes site as well as get a few more songs under the ones that don't have as many. Oh and the update module as well. It'll help people know what all you've been doing on your site. Good luck and keep it up!

directory_catastropheSite Name 10/10: [directory_catastrophe] The name is cute, original and tells what you offer. Good job. ^_^
First Impression 4/10: The first impression should be a good one but your site is literally covered in mulitcolor polka dots and the font is very hard to see without higlighting. Also the search bar is very annoying. The site links are easy to read though (with the exception of buttons_eat_ur_face)
Content 8/10: You have a few for being open a week. You really should advertise more.
Popularity 8/10: Again, not too popular and it doesn't seem like people apply very often. Join more blogrings and go ask people if they would like to be featured. And make sure there are links visible from your other sites so people know about it. ^_^
Organization 9/10: The site is very organized (minus the affiliates which scroll EXTREMELY fast).
Grammar/Spelling 10/10: I didn't really find any big mistakes. Good job.
Updates 2/10: I don't see any updates. You really shoud keep updates and update everyday even if it's just to say that you put up a new site or something. I will give you two points for the update that you do have.
Links 10/10: All the links are working. Good job! ^_^
Personality 4/10: The only bit of personality to make it different is the crazy colors and the crazy picture to match. Try putting up some stuff about yourself. ^_^
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very original layout for the site. And the scrolling affiliates is very original.
Bonus +2: I'll give you two bonus for a very interesting look to your site. I'll admit I haven't seen this kind of multicolor yet.
Total: 75/100 C
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My advice to you is to get rid of the dots on the actual blog part where the writing is. If you want it behind that part, that'd probably be best. Also, try to update everyday even if it is just a sentence when you log in. Join a few more blogrings and advertise a little more. Other than that, you're off to a good start.

catastrophic_quotesSite Name 10/10: [catastrophic_quotes] Very cute and tells what you offer. ^_^
First Impression 6/10: I have only a few complaints. Number one, the scroll bar shouldn't be all white. It's very confusing and the white font is a little hard to read. Otherwise, it looks good. The colors aren't my style but they do look good together.
Content 10/10: You have a LOT of quotes and it look like you take your site very seriously when it comes to quotes. Good job!
Popularity 10/10: I think you could probably get more subs but 702 is a really good number to have for being open since 2005.
Organization 10/10: Very well organized. ^_^
Grammar/Spelling 10/10: Didn't find any. Just a suggestion to make the words at the beginning of a sentence capitalized.
Updates 10/10: You update almost every day until the lapse where you explained that you were grounded (I know the feeling so I'm not going to take points off)
Links 10/10: All of them work. ^_^
Personality 7/10: Not much personality to the site. I like your updates at the top and besides the picture, there's not much.
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very creative and original. The picture at the bottom adds spice to it and I love how the quotes are different not the same generic quotes that everyone uses.
Bonus +2: I'll give you a few bonus for the picture.
Total: 95/100 A
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only suggestions is to get a more colorful layout but most importantly to make the scrollbar more than one color. At least put a border around it and make the arrow visible. Also, change the font spacing on the white text so it's more readable. Other than that, you're doing good. Keep it up!

firstclass_materialSite Name 9/10: [firstclass_material] it tells that you offer really good stuff but not exactly banners and title signs. Very original and cute.
First Impression 8/10: The colors are a little bland but it looks like you put some time into organizing everything and making the banners. I'd say put a little more color into it like change the color on the title signs.
Content 10/10: Very good stuff. I like the choices for the title signs. Very cute stuff too! ^_^
Popularity 10/10: I'm guessing you have over 100 subscriptions and that's really good for only being open since June 6. Good job!
Organization 10/10: Very organized. I could find everything easily.
Grammar/Spelling 10/10: Didn't see any grammer or spelling mistakes. Good job! ^_^
Updates 10/10: I only see the hiatus sign but I know you update at least every day if not every other day so I'll give you full points.
Links 10/10: All of them work beautifully.
Personality 10/10: I love the box where you tell about yourself. Very few people have that anymore. And I love the song you have on top. I haven't seen that on a xanga before. Props for that!
Creativity/Originality 10/10: Very creative and I haven't found many other banner sites that are the same mixture as you. That have as good of stuff.
Bonus +5: The birthdays, the linked material, VIPs, your button, etc.
Total: 103/100 A+
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: My only suggestion is to spice up the color a little. Either make the title signs another color or make the background another color/ pattern. Otherwise, you're doing fine! Oh and it's a shame there aren't any May birthdays. All the other ones I noticed had quite a few. I guess May isn't a popular birthday month. Good job!

DejaVuCollagesSite Name 8/10: [dejavucollages] It's cute and original but doesn't say that you offer layouts, just collages. Some people may think you offer backgrounds.
First Impression 7/10: The black and pink go together really well but the shade of green you are using is almost too light. I like the marquee on the top right module though. Very cute. ^_^ Also, in some spots, the text overlaps itself making it very hard to read. I love the quote of the day too.
Content 10/10: You have a pretty good size content for only being open a few weeks. Good job!
Popularity 9/10: 13 subscribers for a few weeks? That's a good start. You really should get more though.
Organization 10/10: You're very organized. Good.
Grammar/Spelling 9/10: I didn't find any big mistakes and you don't tYpE LiKE DiS but you really should capitalize at the beginning of each sentence in the weblog part. You do that in your side modules but not in the actual blog.
Updates 10/10: I'm going to give you full credit on here, because I don't see any other updates. You really should keep updates for at least a month. Your update though does tell what to expect which is always good.
Links 5/10: Your sister site area isn't linked at all except for buttons. In the L & F, you can't just put www.xanga. You need to use the <a href="url to xanga here">name of xanga</a> instead. Also, double check the spelling on a few. ^_^
Personality 7/10: I can tell that you're friendly but try to describe yourself a little. Give a short blurb about who you are and what you like to do. Make it feel a little more welcoming.
Creativity/Originality 8/10: Your fades are original but try more than one font style. www.dafonts.com has quite a few good ones. You have more than one stylesheet which is good but all the collage ones have the same general look. Try to spice them up a little more. ^_^
Bonus +5: You have a special module for your subcription count and you have a "Protected by" module.
Total: 88/100 B
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: Try using a darker green instead of the bright green. Also, make sure you keep adding variety into your layouts and fades. For your button text, I'd advise using a text box. You can find one at any code site. My favorite is: Codes_4u_too. Fix those links using the code I gave you earlier and check your "thanks" in the last entry and make sure that it's not overlapping the rest of the text. I'd put the actual writing below the "thanks" part. Otherwise, you're doing a really good job getting started. Keep it up and you probably can become very popular.

T_R_layoutsSite Name 10/10: [T_R_layouts] Original and describes what you offer. Good job! ^_^
First Impression 10/10: I can tell you're a Harry Potter fan (so am I ^_^)
Content 9/10: You have a really good size content. Rese should probably put up a few more but Tina's layouts make up for her small number.
Popularity 10/10: A large amount for being open since September. Good job! Keep it up and you can probably get 500 subscriptions before you hit a year.
Organization 10/10: Very organized. Good job!
Grammar/Spelling 10/10: No mistakes that I could find. Good job!
Updates 8/10: You update every few days or so and I know the feeling of having a life outside xanga but try to update even if it's just a sentence every time you log in.
Links 10/10: All your links work perfectly.
Personality 8/10: The only bit of personality I see on here is when you are asking for no requests and the links to your personal sites. Make the site look more like it's yours by putting up a module that says what you like or don't like.
Creativity/Originality 8/10: Very creative layouts but try to get more stylesheets and on a few, remove the leftside modules, just to add variety.
Bonus +5: You have gifts, awards, a to-do list, credits, iTunes, etc. Plus, the pixels make it easy to see what layouts are new and such.
Total: 98/100 A
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: Your layouts need a little more variety but other than that, they're good. Also try to update a little bit more and you'll be fine.

peace_love_iC0NSSite Name 10/10: [peace_love_iC0NS] Cute and Original. Good job.
First Impression 8/10: The background is a little bland and so are the colors but it looks good other than that.
Content 10/10: You have A LOT for just opening today. I'm impressed.
Popularity 10/10: I'm going to give you these because you just opened today.
Organization 10/10: Very good organization. Everything is easy to find.
Grammar/Spelling 9/10: Capitalize words at the beginning of each sentence. Otherwise, it's good.
Updates 10/10: Again, I'm going to give you these because you just opened today. Keep your updates for about a month though so people can see past activity.
Links 10/10: All of them work fine. ^_^
Personality 7/10: It's a little dry as far as personality goes. I'd suggest putting up a few likes and dislikes just so people can know the basics. Plus, it makes you more approachable. ^_^
Creativity/Originality 9/10: Very creative. It's hard to be original with all these icon sites out there but you do a good job of putting them in creative categories and have really good icons. The polls and gossip are very cute and original too.
Bonus +3: You have a ton of icons on here. Very few icon sites have that many even after being online for about a month. Good job! Keep it up!
Total: 96/100 A
Comments/ Recommendations/ Suggestions: Get a more colorful layout and put a little blurb about yourself and also, on the scrollbar for the links to the icons, make the width a little smaller so it doesn't take up half the page for a few links that aren't even that long. Good job on setting it up, now, join a few blogrings and you'll be good to go.
