Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)
I have to give it to you the background image is class, give that nice ocean blue floorboard effect to the theme. The appearance off the theme is nicely laid out, I would consider finding a better font to use and honestly I find that font drives readers away a lot, go for Sans Serif or Myriad Pro the two best basic fonts out there. The way you have stylized the forum ain't exactly great as there ain't no graphics and the main part of the style doesn't have a feeling to it. Getting someone to fulfill these would be 100% better for the sake of the site.

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)
Honestly there ain't much to moderate here as you seem to basically just bundle your posts all in the main page until they reach the next page/archive. Honestly without having a category section actually makes it look cooler and cleaner but you could try and split your posts up by adding tags to them such as [mental illness article] or [off-topic article], [me and my life article] and you get my rhythm. Adding these may help readers know what's what and give them some sort of clear picture in their head of what your discussion today. Also nice navigation bar layout but could have been more descriptive wise but I will explain more later on in the review. Overall you have done a good job.

Commenting Activity and Other Interactions - (Out of 20)
I saw someone contacted you about switching hosts - don't. If you feel comfortable with Hawk Host like Forum Promotion does because who knows what that host offers. Also I would feel quite mad about them contacting you like that out of the blue. Also comments weren't great you should get the blog out their more not caring about your illness because at the end of the day your Andy and we respect you for that. It is nice to see we can contact you and also you have a forum and a Twitter those are great interactions for members to chill and discuss.

Quality and Frequency of Posts - (Out of 20)
Your post's of a matter of fact are good length wise for a personal blog although you could go into better descriptions. Reading your post's were just amazing as you seem to control your illness quite well having all those disorders and having to take numerous amounts of medication each day but your one brave kid. You like to think big and your imagination and mind just run away together and your post's are so truthful and hurtful in a way to the lighter hearts but you deserve everything for your problems.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
I noticed a mistake on Where do see yourself in 5 years? where step 3, you opened a ( but did not close it. Also after blog post I see you put Andy.... with four full stops I think you should limit that unless theres a real good reason why you do it. Also this ain't spelling or grammar related but you could be doing with extending your about page because I would like to know more about you than your mental illness as you seem a great guy.
