Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)

Your design is very nice and clean. It creates the atmosphere for your blog, clean and nice. A very good appearance, it give me everything in one page with out being messy or short. The important thing is the page loads fast too. 🙂

I noticed the tag box at the bottom isn't in the same container as the other two blocks at the bottom. That creates an inconsistency in your style and shouldn't be too hard to fix.

I am very glad to see your forum still follows the theme. Many people tack on a blog with any theme they like.

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)

There are no categories. Your blog would be a lot cleaner and easier to access desired ranks with categories. Something like "Bright Ranks" and "Glossy Ranks" they are generally-specific enough. That will help someone find ranks they want a lot easier.

The blog post layout is pretty good, I like that the terms are on each one however the first box on the blog post page doesn't make much sense. It shows images and then text. "Admin" "Forum Ranks" "Leave A comment". Not all of those are self explanatory. The images that you have next to them don't help much in this case, it took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at. Providing more information on that page would help.

Comments are pretty good, all of them are mostly "Thanks!" and things like that. It's good to see you are getting feedback on individual sets so you know how to shape your ranks in the future.

I think the forum should have a ForumRanks.net support forum. Like if someone is having issues downloading a pack they can post it. I also think more 'support-related' forums should be added in for people who don't exactly know how to add ranks into their forum.

Other than that, pretty good activity.

There is no content with your posts as I can see. All they are, is an image and a download. I believe more should be given like your inspiration for making them, what forums/color schemes they would look good on, ect.

You seem to be rolling out posts pretty swiftly. You release a new rank set pretty much once every week. There are long periods of down time, however, so if I were you, I'd make a goal to make a new set each week or each week and a half, just a suggestion.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)

Pretty much your whole blog as great grammar and spelling, I just noticed one issue on the Contribute page.
"Please fill in as much information as possible so we can give you the credit you deserve. In the “Additional Information” please give name to these ranks."

should be

"Please fill in as much information as possible so we can give you the credit you deserve. In the “Additional Information” please give a name to your ranks."
Otherwise, good job on spelling.

Just want to give you some feedback to your review on here.

Blog Layout and Categorization

My site has over 100 sets of ranks, if I were to categories them, it would have to fit in at least 10+ categories, and 1 category being "others". If you really think about it, it really makes no sense, since person can simply search any type of rank they want in the search box.

The Date, Admin, Forum Ranks, and Post a comment, comes default with the theme, it doesnt require a viewers attention, all it says, that it was posted on such date, it was posted by Admin, and its in Forum Ranks category and viewers have an option to post a comment.

Commenting Activity and Other Interactions

I actually do have a support forum, where people who need support can post in the Help and Suggestions section of the site, we also offer free custom rank buttons creation services, and rank modifications for those who dont know how to create forum ranks, or edit them, or want custom ones for their forum. We also have tutorials for people who want to learn on their own how to create these rank buttons.

Quality and Frequency of Posts

This blog, is not a typical blog for people to read, this is a database of forum ranks, where it is made simple, a preview of ranks and download button, a paragraph about the ranks and where the contributors inspiration came from would be a negative thing to add to the site.

- I gave the categories as an idea, not saying you have to do it.
- I looked at the support forum, it did not seem too rank specific.
- I was rating the quality of posts, not the quality of your ranks. I could care-less what the ranks looked like, I was looking for pure content, which I did not find.

Thanks!
