So I put aside my chicken heart and begged for a site review. Web-Betty did not disappoint… except that she was so nice! I expected to get slammed, but she gave me a nice review that will be very helpful. Here’s what she said about my site:
1.) I need more visuals in my posts. Oh, you’re so right. When did I quit doing this? What is my password on stock.xchng again?
2.) Who am I? Oh, geez. You don’t really want to know, right? Ugh. I haven’t taken a good picture in years. Okay, I’m going to do this. Later.
3.) You are a total web dork. Yeah, okay, I thought the lolcats were funny when I first found them. And then when half my favorite good sites were completely taken over by the darkness which is the evil cheezburger universe, I was sorely annoyed. But I forgot it was even there. I never go there anymore out of protest. If POWM goes cheezy, I will just lose it. I made you your own lolcat here, which I am adding as a visual.
4.) Update your Twitter if you’re going to put it in your sidebar. Sigh. I’m so lazy. Why don’tcha ask Tina Fey why she hasn’t updated since last summer, eh? She is way funnier than me. 
Well, she probably doesn’t have it on her sidebar. Fair enough. I can’t decide if I love Twitter or loathe it, but I’ll work on making up my mind.
5.) Space issues in the sidebar. Yeah, I know! I never could figure that out so I just gave up. Okay, okay, I’ll go to my awesome theme people at Thesis and grovel for some help.
6.) Separate those recent posts at the bottom of the page. Huh, I never noticed these were weird looking. I’ll play with ‘em. I’m glad you like the navigation stuff – just today I realized I don’t have a search box, which annoyed me when I was trying to look up my own lyrics to the Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts song. Honestly I expected you to be all “what’s with your navigation, chica? I can’t find anything!” I’m totally keeping the no pages thing now.
7 1 again.) My posts are naked but recent posts have thumbnails. Oh, see, there’s that lazy thing again. That’s a plug in. 
I’m such a cheater, I know! This is really the same as #1, so just for you I’m going to try to go find a relevant image.
8 7.) Keep Comments Open Longer. I’m still totally full of myself that you wanted to comment on an old post! Woooowwwwww. I opened them up for 90 days. I shut them down for a while after I got web-meanied by one person who pretended to be lots of people (talk about your LOLs!) but I think she has moved on to greener pastures. Plus I blocked her IP. So comments are opened up again! Weeee!
What a thanks to Web-Betty at Ten Things who graciously reviewed the site. I’m floored by how nice she was, and have taken everything into consideration. Even if it takes me a little while to get them all done. Anyone else have a constructive comment about the site? Blast away! Gently.
And while you’re at it, drop by at Ten Things and beg for your own review. You’ll be glad you did!
