Ok klingers and lastres0rt, you're in the queue!

The dates for the reviews may be a little off, it likely won't be every Friday since we do have other articles to post as well, but the order is right. Next up, Hainted Holler!

Huh, I'd steered away from this before, but why not. I'm game, put Panthera in your cue.

Enjoying reading these, by the way.

Hey;
I would really like for you to take a quick look at my webcomic...
Tell my what you thing and all that.

The URL is www.anewlife.thecomicseries.com 

Just... keep in mind that I'm very young (highschool young)... I
barely know anything about HTML coding and well... this is my
first attempt at an "original" web-design layout.
---Sorry if any bad english ô_o---

Hard to do an honest review with conditionals.   ;D

I know you have some problems in your layout code and you're not sure how the HTML works, so let's just put this on hold until you have a better understanding and are really ready for a review.  Don't let it worry you too much, everyone starts somewhere and it only gets better and more fun from here.

I figure it's time to stop nervously avoiding this moment and just volunteer.

I'd like to be reviewed [or atleast advised, if it's not ready for a review yet].

Now I know I get automatic points off for using a default Comicpress theme and not professionally masking it, but whatever. Personally, I like the Comicpress look and I don't mind seeing a lot of comics use it. As you can probably tell, I'm more about the bells and whistles, the decor meant not to hide the fact I'm using the theme but just to make it look good.

I still need help though, so any advice on what on the site needs tweaking would be much appreciated.

Alrighty Pixel and Lego, I put you both in the queue.

I'm not dinging you for using Wordpress for your sites.  Really.  For further explanation you should probably read this.

I just had to make a bunch of changes to my site to accommodate my new writer, and it looks...funny? Would appreciate a review before I go an make any huge changes.

Dragon Powered

It looks funny? Hmm.

I don't really have a sample to compare it to, so I don't know what changes were made.  But I'll be happy to add it to the list.

Huh. I read the Wordpress article first before coming here and assumed that you were writing that INSTEAD of writing us reviews. 'Cuz honestly, after reading that, I kind've feel like I either don't deserve a review or that there won't be much to say in one.

I'm glad you're still doing it, I'm just saying I wouldn't blame you if you declined the offer. Thanks for keeping me in queue.

Dragon Powered

No no, of course I'll do the reviews.  The article I wrote actually started as a reply to the comment about getting points off for using Wordpress.  I don't take points off for whatever platform used, but what I really wanted to point out was that the reviews I do are on the site design, not so much the comic itself.  It just seems a lot of people using Wordpress don't think enough about the design.

I do look at the comic though, since as a webcomic it is integral to the site design. 

But really, my reviews reflect how your site is seen from a web developer's point of view, as a business entity, and as a creative medium.  I'm not here to tell you what's wrong with your site, but rather to offer an overview and maybe suggestions on how it might be improved.

I'm a little nervous about this, but I think I'd like to have my site reviewed too. :)

I hope that smackjeeves websites are okay.
