Hi

Here are some things you might want to do before you post on the reviews.

Check to see if your code is valid:

(X)HTML:http://validator.w3.org

CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Once your site has been validated, you may want to check out compression:

And: http://www.port80software.com/tools/compresscheck

For Search Engine Optimisation, check out: http://wordsinarow.com/seo.html

I find myself replying to website reviews about validating code, it is a worthwhile effort.

Look into using a server side language such as PHP to create a template - this may help cut down future coding time.

When one is using a WYSIWYG editor, it is possible to neglect how the actual code looks. It is best to learn how website languages work (Such as HTML and CSS). What if you are somewhere other than your computer and you need to edit your website? Or what if someone else has to change your pages that doesn't have your WYSIWYG editor - especially valid (no pun intended) when designing sites as a job.

I personally don't like reviewing sites that are pre-made scripts, such as forums etc. However, if you have made a huge theme change, then that is fine.

When you post a review, saying what feedback you would like, may also be helpful.

I hope this post helps

Hey music_man,

You have recently reviewed a site of mine, with many of the helpful resources in your post suggested.

If I may, I'd like to add another thing to the list - page load times. A very worthwhile way to spend some time on your site. A site I made took over 70 seconds to load on dial-up, I have now got this down to 12 seconds.

Check out http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ to see how your site does.

Cheers
DD
