I’m trying to be a good member and review other sites, so far I’ve written two and deleted three so really I’ve done five! I write a review but I don’t think I’ve quite worked out the lingo yet. I like bullet points but I should really write sentences. I seem to find myself repeating the same things.

• Bullet points need styling I’d rather have no bullets than the default black circles
• Line height is shorter than I am
• Font Size is indecipherable
• You have far to many colours in your text
• Your content doesn’t blend with your header at all - its like you stuck a random image on top of some text they don’t link at all
• Your content is all below the fold - you shouldn’t have to scroll to see it

Now if only I could copy and paste that onto most of the pages I’d be a great reviewer, but I don’t have the heart. If someones gonna put the effort into reviewing this site then I should do the same for theirs. It just might take me a few drafts to get there!!

The infinity pool

Here are some of the highlights from Cyprus!

• Kittens! (how could this not be first!) They were adorable!

eeee baby kittens!
• Visiting Lara bay, our car was horrific, a box on wheels - so an hour and a half over terrain that really needed a land rover made this place all the more special. It was a bay that was completely desserted, and on a cliff was this restaurant with tacky plastic chairs yet ultra modern and clean loos. Very strange but it was a really magical place.
• Seeing turtles nesting at Lara Bay.
• Getting manfriend to have a go at Diving. I’m already a qualified advanced diver so I’m desperate to get manfriend to qualify too so we can go on diving holidays. (Mediterranean diving isn’t exactly exciting once you’ve dived in Honduras!)
• Our house was amazing, if it had had any sort of water pressure it would have been perfect. It was easier to shower outside in the rainwater shower than in the bathroom - warmer too!
• Trying new foods! I’m well known for being a fussy eater, but I’m trying to branch out and like new foods. Two new things to add to my list are squid and feta.

It started off with me and my parents renting a villa. Then manfriend decided to come along. Then my housemates joined and then two weeks before we leave my great aunt decided to join too! Shes 80! Everyone was invited, we just didn’t expect such a huge uptake in offers.

Still its gonna be super fun! Then I have to come back and clean the house before the long and complicated moving house story unfolds!

I’m in two minds about this design. On one hand it has passed my 3hr and 24hr tests with flying colours. That is, if you leave it and go away for 3 hours and you still love it then your onto a winner. If you then start coding, leave it and come back 24hours later and actually continue to code it then it’s going to be a layout that lasts!

On the other hand - I hate those white and yellow tropical flowers! (Which by the way were made by Konamedia) But when I look at the layout as a whole, it does work quite well?

To follow the thread of Rhys’s latest post. One thing I have learnt with this new layout. persevere with the whole thing, posts, sidebar the lot!

Normally I just design the header and code the posts on a whim. This time I designed the sidebar and posts down to the very last detail. So not only was coding much quicker the whole site looks (I think) so much better :)

Let me know what you think in the comments!

It was awesome because there were SO many cars! We wondered around for hours and we even won an elephant in the tombola!!

Manfriends car looking very snazzy :P

The yellow morris minor will be mine!!

I drove back to Kent on Saturday to see them but one wasn’t looking too good Manfriend had found him (we dont know if it was a he or a she but anythings better than it) lying in the grass not looking so good.

We watched over him for a few hours and he started perking up. He was cheeping properly, chicks can make a really shrill noise! He was fit and healthy so we put him back with mum in the evening.

In the morning he wasn’t out with the others, His mum obviously knew he wasn’t quite right. We put him under the heat lamp but he died in the evening. It was really sad I don’t like things dying.

The other 3 chicks are chirpy and happy though

It’s the best thing my course does!

Normally you work for a year but I like to be different!

I was made redundant from my first job. Was very kindly taken on by my second job for four months but I wasn’t really given a specific task so rather than let them extend my contract I handed in my notice to work at their sister company which is graphic design related!

It was definitely the best job of the three, maybe it was because I’ve come out if my shell slightly in terms of business or maybe because I was allowed to be geeky nerdy me. Either way I was so sad to leave but I hope to stay in touch with them!

As a thank you gift they had some business cards printed for me, after I designed them of course!!
