Appearance and Color Scheming - (Out of 20)
First off, I must say I really like your website's banner. It's a very nice banner. It's colorful and it's eye catchy. You could do a bit more with the color scheme though. Your website is pretty plain. It's mainly black and white right now. That doesn't look very good, it reminds me of reading a newspaper. I personally feel it's the 21st century, color scheming has changed greatly. Most websites are just plain black text and white background anymore. Don't get me wrong, I like that you have added some blue into the website for part of the background. That's nice. I think the color scheme would look great with more blue. Make the website a bit more colorful! With your website's color scheme the way it is, it becomes boring to look at after a while. If you want people to come back to your website, you don't want them to be bored by the color scheme.

Page Layout and Content Organization - (Out of 20)
To be honest, I am not much of a fan of the layout. I think you could improve it. For example, in the layout, you have two menu bars. I think you could tone it down to one menu bar. I think you should add "Community" to the bottom menu bar. I think "Disclaimer" and "Privacy Policy" could go in the footer. I think the RSS, Email, and social networks menu items could have their own side table, right above "Around the Web." This would make the layout not as overwhelming. Now looking at your content organization, it's pretty nice. All the content is organized well. Everything seems to be in the right place. All the content on the main page is a bit too much though. I don't think you need so much on the main page. It makes the website look cluttered.

Quality of Content - (Out of 20)
Overall, I must say, the quality of the content is excellent. You have done a great job at this. All the content is interesting so far and if you continue to keep the content interesting, you will have readers continuously. I love the content. It looks like every single article is unique, original, and interesting. There is a little something for everyone. For example, you have "The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden" and then "20 Things Worth Knowing About Beer." The quality of the content is great as it varies, that's really attractive to readers. The only thing I notice is the spelling and grammar I see in some of your articles. There are a few mistakes here and there. That puts down the content quality a bit.

Navigation and Graphics - (Out of 20)
Your navigation is alright. There's nothing to it really. The navigation is simple, yet effective. I feel you may have a bit too much in the navigation menu though. It may make navigating the website a bit slower. I think maybe adding drop-down menus could improve this. So, instead of having the menu filled with the different article categories, you could roll you mouse over a menu item that says "Categories" and then you will see a drop-down list of all the different article categories. Also, some menu items are a bit harder to understand. So, it would be cool to have a description or something when you roll over a menu item with your mouse. For example, I don't know what "NSFW" is, so I could roll my mouse over it than a description will come up explaining it.
There's not much to the graphics. I don't see very many graphics. The banner is nice. The favicon matches the banner, which is good. They flow together. I like how you have used graphics all throughout the website. You have graphics in a lot of your articles. It's always good to have a visual. Advertisements are a bit overwhelming though. I see a lot of advertisement graphics. I don't feel you need that many advertisements. I think you could remove one or two of them.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
You seem to have done a great job with your spelling and grammar for the most part. I don't see any mistakes on the header, the footer, or the menu. That's good. I do see an occasional spelling or grammar error in your articles though. For example, in the Brazen Brides article, you say "Your wedding day is something you will cherish for rest of your life." You need to add the word "the" between the words "for" and "rest." In that same article, you say "This the most memorable day for the groom and especially for the brides." You need to add the word "is" in between "this" and "the." Next, in the Polaroid Eyewear Can Save You From Slapping article, you start the article with "Its." In that case, it should be "It's." In the last sentence of that article, you have "it ts always a good idea to have your glasses." "it ts" should be "It is," or "It's." I am sure there are spelling and grammar errors on other articles as well. You need to proofread your articles before you publish them, use spell check, or maybe even have a friend proofread your articles to have another set of eyes read them. Do whatever you can to cut down on these spelling and grammar errors.
