SheCriesInside Reviewed Mar 20, 23:08
My apologies to everyone who read this before it was ready, somehow I managed to post it in live instead of draft. SheCriesInside is yet another example of an outdated website that can’t decide if it’s in 2004 or 2008. Not only do you have a very tacky celebrity header, but also tables (tables!) where there should be DIV’s, Cutenews, a stylesheet that is embedded directly into the HTML and a font size that would strain even Erin’s eyes (although I’m sure she’d never admit to it).
This is just a little edit. I decided to review this website three days ago, I didn’t actually get around to starting the review until yesterday. That was four, yes four layouts ago! She was on layout 26 three days ago and now she’s on layout 30 and. Yesterday I was reviewing layout 27 (this was early yesterday morning) and between now and then she has had three different layouts. In one day. C’mon now Cassie, what the hell? Perhaps if you spent more than five minutes on a layout you’d be satisfied with one layout a week. You change layouts more often than I change my underwear, and this time I mean it literally.
It’s owned by Cassie and it has been around since October 2007, but she claims to have been making websites since 2006. Cassie, dearest, two years is more than enough to further your skills so that you can walk away from this outdated style. There is absolutely no reason to live in the past, as I recall it 2004 wasn’t that great anyway. For someone who is currently on layout #27 #30 I don’t see that much difference between your old layouts and your new ones. Why? There’s nothing wrong with moving forward, staying in the same old ugly rut for years on end isn’t fun and exciting! Plus your rut is ugly and outdated.
There are so, so many things wrong with Cassie’s website, but the biggest problem with it is probably the font size. Remember, web design is 95% typography and while you may spend more time perfecting your graphic design we spend more time reading your writing than we do staring in awe at the pretty pictures. So why use such small text? Okay, I get it, the smaller the text is the neater it looks. 13px Verdana is never that attractive, but it doesn’t have to be that way! You can use the good old standard of 11px (69%) for the base font size, this is the font size which you’ll use for your body, and size everything else using em’s. Things that visitors won’t be spending large amounts of time reading, such as footers and sidebars, can use slightly smaller text (.9em, which if you’re using a base of 69%, is about 10px to the 11px body). Personally, after attempting to view your website for a few minutes I started to get a bit of a headache and my eyes weren’t focusing on the text. The strain of reading the small font coupled with the abuse of colour on the bolded, underlined and italicised words is enough to send you into a seizure.
Your stylesheet reminds me of a stylesheet I had about 5 years ago, it consisted of bits and pieces I’d ripped from shoddy tutorial sites and it looked like a mess. Let’s go step-by-step through everything you’ve done wrong using examples from your own stylesheet.
a:link {color: ff3855; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,arial; FONT-SIZE: 9px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;}
a:active {color: ff3855; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,arial; FONT-SIZE: 9px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;}
a:visited {color: ff3855; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,arial; FONT-SIZE: 9px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;}
a:hover {color: 777777; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,arial; FONT-SIZE: 9px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;}
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to repeat the styles in each property. Once you apply a font style to the body, it cascades down into the rest of the stylesheet unless otherwise specified. I’d like to introduce you to something called shorthand CSS. The idea is that instead of writing out font-family:Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:75%; you can combine it into a single property and save space (which can decrease load times). There are shorthands for pretty much every property out there. background:#fff URL("img.jpg") repeat-y; for example is a combination of background-image:; background-color:; and background-repeat:;.
So you can combine properties, so too you can combine elements. a:link {} a:visited {} a:hover {} all become simply a {}. Group the generic settings for your links in one element then add the defining properties to the extended element. Your messy link styles become:
a {color:#ff3855;text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;}
a:hover {color:#777;}
There, see how much nicer that is? Oh, I forgot to mention that you need to insert a pound sign before your hexidecimal colour code.
body {
FONT-SIZE: 10px; COLOR: #FFFFFF; font-face:tahoma;
scrollbar-face-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-arrow-color:#EFA6CA; scrollbar-shadow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-dark-shadow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF
}
It is so painfully obvious which browser you use to browse the internet and design your site for. The former is okay, questionable but okay, the latter is just downright wrong. IE has lost market share, alternative browsers like Firefox and Opera are gaining in popularity and unlike IE they render your site as you code it. Since your site is crappily coded, it displays crappily in better browsers. Lose the scrollbar information and condense your font property.
body {
font:69%/1.7 Verdana, sans-serif;
color:#fff;
}
See how much cleaner and tidier that is? Your navigation does not work in anything other than IE. The fix for that is simple: remove the extra bracket from above a.nav:link element (it’s directly under your extra and unneeded body element).
I’m afraid your HTML doesn’t fare any better than your CSS. No DOCTYPE, multiple head and HTML tags, tables instead of DIV’s, made up tags… the list goes on. Speaking of made up tags, what exactly were you thinking with <ALIGN="LEFT">? There is no align tag and whoever told you so is a damn liar. I’d like their names, please, so proper action can be taken (it has got to be a crime to do that). All in all you have 37 errors, most of which would be taken care of if you’d just stop making up attributes and tags.
At the very bottom of the source page I noticed that there were no closing body or HTML tags, you kinda need them for the page to display properly. Oh nevermind, around line 138 on your index page you did close the HTML tag, bravo. Except it was supposed to be closed at the end of the page and it’s not supposed to be followed by <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">, which by the way leads to this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /style.css was not found on this server.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found

</body></html>
It is so evident that you stole pretty much every piece of HTML and CSS from someone else, or perhaps you just ripped it off a crappy tutorial site. You’ve mixed XHTML and HTML together and parts of the stylesheet are in caps while others aren’t. If you’re going to rip things from other people then at least have the decency to cover your tracks, consistency is key, my friend. Either way shame on you. There is no excuse for having code that looks like this, and no, having a life is not something that stops you from having nice HTML and CSS. Don’t believe me? Read Sarai’s post about having a life: Don’t you have a life?!.
The end
Overall I found your website disappointing, the coding horrendous, the content lacking (and overly dramatic). The font size coupled with your need to style each and every bloody word you write is annoying and blinding. Unless you are adding emphasis to something or want to set something apart, then there is no reason whatsoever for you to underline, bold and italicize all those words. Please. I didn’t bother reviewing the content because 1. it’s generic content and that’s all I can say about it. 2. I can’t read any of your text, although I did set up a Stylish stylesheet that everyone can download here, which is a major problem with your site. For someone who knows she’s going to end up alone and who never leaves her house without her skinny jeans you sure aren’t that interesting. Actually that probably explains why you aren’t that interesting.
In short: fix your navigation, up your font size, stop emphasizing every word, stop styling every emphasized word, ditch Cutenews and for gods sake clean up your code.
I feel like tacos.
Look, I know I can’t exactly talk, mainly because my sites a total mess at the moment. My wordpress isn’t working in any browser but Internet Explorer (I’m hopeing to fix that). But, I enjoy and like her site. I think her layouts are nice. I think it was out of order for you to make comments on her and not just her site. You made a comment about her wearing skinny jeans, I’d like to ask why exactly? When you don’t know much about her as a person. That doesn’t seem fair to me.
Also shes a teenager that runs her site as a hobbie (much like me), it’s not meant to be perfect. It’s just meant to be a fun thing for her to do in her spare time.
Her site does (almost) work in Firefox, Safari and Opera, but she has to fix a problem with her links. That’s all.
Maybe’s she likes small fonts? If you can’t read it why not just push ‘shift’ and ‘+’ to zoom in? I also like her use of colour on the text but I suppose thats just a matter of opinion.
By the way, I’m not trying to start an argument by saying all that. Just I like her site. You’ve had your say by posting this review, and now I’ve had mine.
So I went to open up the layout in IE to compare… and a new one popped right up. Unfortunately, nothing seems to have been rectified. It’s still slow loading and I still have trouble using the main navigation in the sidebar in Opera and Firefox (it jumps around and I can never hover over what I actually want… a sign that I am better off not looking at the content, maybe?).
I guess it just doesn’t occur to some people that if you want people to actually read your content, you should make it large enough to be read.
Lol, I found it slightly amusing that she’d changed layouts four times in a few days, but then I cleared my browser’s cookies and figured it out: every time you visit you get a different layout. And the font sizes on all the other layouts are equally as miniscule. I can deal with small-ish fonts, but man, that’s just ridiculous.
This a pointless review, she is just a teenager who is experimenting with what the 21st century has to offer. Please, learn to type before you start accusing people of being ‘lulzy’.

Psst: Erin is at plagues.nu (not plauges.nu) ;-)
Who, my first thought upon entering was “who’s supposed to read this”. It reminds me of a site of a reviewer who told me that my 12px font size was too big and not aesthetic enough (the font size on her own site was something like 8px). cue dramatic eye rolling
With the risk of starting yet another pointless argument… I don’t necessarily see why she has to change her coding style. I mean, you said yourself that you’re nt interested to learn PHP. Given the site’s nature, I’m guessing that HTML/CSS is just a way of displaying her message not with the same connotation that those in our “blogging circle” have.
Granted, her font-size and color choice need urgent betterment. All in all, I’ve seen worse sites.
Lol, I don’t see why people think it’s a big deal that you said something about her wearing skinny jeans. Saying something bad about her fashion is like saying something bad about her website; you’re not attacking her as a person, just the things that she likes.

The most offensive thing to me is how she emphasizes her underlines, strongs, etcetera with different colors. Her current layout uses some preposterous cyan that makes my brain bleed. Her blog condemns your review as pathetic, and she makes some vague threats (watch out!! she’s dangerous!) All in all, really insightful and you did give her some good tips to standardizing her coding style (let’s see if she can learn how to make tasteful layouts).

Like OMG moron, learn ENGLISH!
Annie: you’re not attacking her as a person, just the things that she likes
that made no sense. if you are attacking things she likes, then you’re attacking her personality which she is made up of. so yes she IS being attacked as a person.
I viewed the site yesterday, and I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. At least she has the heart to be creative instead of just having a plain jane template.

terin selena: as a matter of fact you’re the one who doesn’t make sense.
For example: I like cyan and magenta as colors, while my dad dislikes them based on the fact that they remind him of underwear. So every time he tells me, he doesn’t like my pink layout, he is attacking me?!
Also, Becky’s layout is not a template and it’s far from being plain. Besides, I’d bet you anything that such a layout takes so much more time to get right, as opposed planting some sloppily cut out picture of a celebrity (which is also illegal). FFS Cassie’s themes look like the pictures I used to cut out from magazines when I was 5. And I sucked at it big time (still do =P ).
Vera: For someone who knows she’s going to end up alone and who never leaves her house without her skinny jeans you sure aren’t that interesting. Actually that probably explains why you aren’t that interesting.
IMO that IS a personal fact. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As a matter of fact, IMO her layout looks way better than the one on your site does.
Oh yeah…and it’s only illegal if you’re using it for profit. And, who said that I was talking about Becky’s site? Get it right.

LMAO, what are you 5?! “her layout looks way better than the one on your site does”. Personal opinion here or there, I’m pretty sure that people are more likely to visit my site than hers. For one, my text can be read without causing them seizures. Not to mention that I made the layout completely from scratch.
I THINK BECKY WANTED COMMENTS AND NOTHING MORE THAN THAT !!! SHE POSTED THIS ENTRY BCUZ SHE WANTED SOMEONE TO READ HER BABBLING [HAHA !!] SINCE NONE DOES…..CASSIE ON THE OTHER HAND IS ENTELLECTUAL AND INTERESTING OKAY ?? IF U RLLY WANTED TO HELP HER YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED IT ON INTERNET POLICY OR POLICE OR WHATEVS………………

Okay. I agree with everything you said. I just hope this person wanted to your opinion, otherwise you’re almost no different from the Bible thumpers out there. I’ll go for the first though because I don’t think you’re that much of a jerk.
Secondly, why do you feel the need to rag on other people about their code/design/whatever (no matter how bad, outdated, etc) is it when not even that person cares that much? Maybe some people just don’t learn as quickly, or their ultimate goal in life isn’t to create a perfectly coded website. Maybe she’s just trying to express herself (though I’m not cool with the stolen images either) and hasn’t passed 2004 101 yet. I personally don’t know this person and I didn’t find her content/layout/blog that interesting, but there are people that do. I guess she’s just in her own little clique—the people-who-blog-and-don’t-care-about-perfection clique. So what? Live and let live.
Thirdly, I happen to like validated XHTML and CSS. I think it’s very charming and organized; as a matter of fact, I like Brent’s layouts a lot. They’re simple, properly coded, but creative. And since people like to review other people’s sites, I’ll be perfectly honest with you. Yours isn’t that creative. Validated, perhaps—clean, yes (which I do like), but not very interesting in appearance. But since you brought it up, I do give you props for the nice font size and whatnot and even the little CSS explanation you had up there. I also like that you don’t use blinding colors. But it still looks boring.
Lastly, is Sarai your God or something? You talk about her like she’s your freaking hero. Yeah, I like her blog and she seems like a good, moral person (albeit a little ranty) but she’s not perfect. No one is.
<i>Don’t believe me? Read Sarai’s post about having a life: Don’t you have a life?!</i>
Like her opinion/blog alone is supposed to be written in the scriptures or some shit.
Get off your damn pedestal.
Sorry, Cassie didn’t know I’d reviewed her until “Kitty” showed her. Code on the internet =/= religious beliefs that dictate how you live your personal life (gender, sexuality, freedom of expression, medical care and so forth).
I meant that in the sense that you’re trying to dictate how people do things in general. It just irks the hell out of me when people do that (not just this particular post, but other people as well).
I’m a firm believer of “if you put it on the internet, it’s fair game”. If she just doesn’t learn as quickly then hopefully I’ve given her something to chew on, I doubt that’s the case. If you read her statements you’ll see that she just doesn’t give a damn, which is fine, I’m not going to force her into anything. In the end I’m just one person expressing their opinion and sometimes attempting to help others.
If that’s not the case, which you also seem to think (and also what she said herself), then why bother to still rag on her? It just seems pointless when the other party just doesn’t care like you do. It’s like trying to convert a Christian to Atheism against their will. Though this isn’t even about her site. It’s about why you do this, period. Your disclaimer says you’re not trying to inflate your ego and I doubt you’re trying to make up for something (you do seem like a normal, intelligent person) so it makes me wonder. Just… why bother express your opinion in the first place if the person just doesn’t care? It just seems fruitless. I also don’t think it’s “fair game” at all. Just because it’s there and exists does not mean, “HEY BECKY OMG I EXIST PLZ OH GOD PLZZKZJZLZLZL GIVE ME YOUR OPINION.” I also doubt she has a sign that says that anywhere. It’s just common courtesy. I also doubt that person’s actually done anything to you to even provoke this (except not meet your standards, I suppose).
And? I never claimed to be the queen of layouts. Not once, not ever. In fact Brent comments on this from time to time and helps me go in the right direction. My site is clean, it’s accessible and the colours don’t blind me. I, unfortunately, do not possess the “awesome designer” gene that Brent has been graced with, I wish I did, but I don’t. No use crying over it. Besides, aside from the comment about the dated style of the layout and typography I didn’t really talk about design. The majority of the review is about writing better HTML and CSS (something I’m much better at).
I was actually trying to make a point by reviewing your site unwantedly, but at least I let you know a few words in advance before I actually did. Like I said, I do think your site is accessible and whatnot. But just because it is, doesn’t make you some kind of master on the subject. To be honest, I’m pretty subpar myself when it comes to graphic design. Like you, I’m not too shabby when it comes to coding. But because I know I have a weakness (if you see it as one), I choose not to bully others because of their own. Again, it’s just common courtesy. I’m sure that you, a intelligent and presumably good human being, could understand that. Even dogs can be trained not to attack when unprovoked.
No, of course not. I do, however, respect her as a person and I tend to agree with her on a lot of things. As it happened, she’d posted that entry not long before I’d posted mine and I didn’t feel that I needed to rehash everything she had already said.
I understand. I saw that entry as well the day after it came out. I saw her point but I digress. The reason I asked is because every other entry you come out with has something like, “Sarai this… Sarai that… Sarai keeps me in check…” In fact, if you click on your Babblative category I think every post I saw on the first page had her name in it. It just reminded me of a potty trained puppy being trained by its master. It kind of makes me wonder if have any opinions that are different from hers… or if I should just read hers since I end up reading the same thoughts/opinions anyway.
I also saw your whatever-the-fuck-it’s-called thing; for some reason I just didn’t notice that I’d typed i instead of em.
I haven’t actually done anything other than this review that could be considered help. She was lulzed at for her stupidity and lack of grammar, but aside from that I understand and accept the fact that she doesn’t want to have a valid site.
Sorry, I just assumed you wanted to help her because that would’ve been the best possible agenda considering this post. I also assumed you wanted to because you said you occasionally help people. I guess my math was wrong. What makes her stupid, anyway? What is stupid, in your standards/opinion? Is it just because of the annoying over-styled fonts and stolen images? That’s just bad web design. Does that mean bad web design = stupid? That’s pretty broad. Or is it her choice of pants? Wow, that’s a little demeaning. All of this is. I guess this post shouldn’t have been a review of her website then, just a review about her stupidity.
Read this: Internet Police – Our Disclaimer.
I apologize. Was Sarai on this one too? I’m commenting on your journal, because this particular review is here. And because it’s here, I read the disclaimer on your site. But I suppose next time I need to read your disclaimer, I’ll consult her first.
Your attempts at getting my goat have failed. I don’t give two shits what other people think of my site, if I feel they have a valid opinion then I take it and run. Do you want to review my site? And by review I mean actually review it, not tell me it’s boring and that my font is big. If you do then go ahead, if it’s negative then great! That means it will help me improve.
Actually, I don’t want your goat (what the fuck?), and I don’t want to review your site… like I said before, the only thing I don’t like about it is that in my opinion, it looks boring. Thank you for the invitation though. If only all people could be invited to review another person’s site, but I’m glad you value my opinion that much. But it’s just my opinion, so you really don’t have to improve unless you want to. I already commended you on the awesome choice of font size and color scheme. Sorry if I confused you. But on this note, I respect your decision and accept the fact that your site is the way it is. I’m courteous, after all.
4 out of 10 posts contain a link to Sarai on the first page and yes we do disagree. We happen to agree on quite a few things, though, and for that I will not apologize. She is not my god, nor is she my master. She does not keep me in check and I don’t keep her in check. We are our own people with our own minds.
Thank you for the explanation, which is what I was after considering I asked the question. I didn’t expect (or want) your apology for that though. I happen to agree with (most of) her posts myself, though I don’t know her as a person like you do. I guess I’ll just link to her blog in every other post though… you know, just because we agree sometimes.
To be honest, I think you’re a very bored person. I think you get off to demeaning other people on the internet. Do you do this off-line too?—Actually, don’t answer that. People aren’t as nice when they’re criticized off-line.
Sarai should write a post called: “Hobbies—Why We Should Have Them.” Let me know if you know of one already. In fact, make a post about it. Or two… or eleven. Whatever.
I’ll link you to my site when I have one, and the reason I choose to not post my e-mail here is because to be honest, the only person I have “business” with here is you. And I’m already talking to you. Why do I need to give you my e-mail address? Check the IP’s; you don’t know me, so don’t worry about a two-faced person.
Thank you for setting me straight. I suppose you don’t link to Sarai in every other post. My mistake. It’s good to know you’re keeping some kind of calendar. Everything is better in moderation, after all. It wouldn’t be healthy if you did, and I don’t wish bad health on anyone.
If it’s worth anything, I enjoyed “debating” with you and because I also like being right, I still think you’re a wrong, sour grump. If for some reason you still want my e-mail address (perhaps so we can “debate” some more), let me know.
I think this is the point where there’s nothing left to be said because in the words of the Holy Sarai, everything to be said has already been said. (Insert link here.)
There’s also nothing wrong with being wrong from time to time. I admit it when I am, no matter how hard it is. Like that IP thing? I forgot about that, really, I did. I was wrong. (I’ll let you know what that list gets longer.)
I actually do think “one or two posts a month” is a lot, especially when this isn’t even her blog. I “didn’t check” because I didn’t have to, so I used sarcasm. I guess in twelve months, you’ll have mentioned her twenty-four different posts. Not bad at all!
I’ll also take the “anonymity is for losers” comment as your way of asking me for my e-mail address. I’m a smug bitch, but why not? I’m not sure what it’ll prove though.
In any case, this has gotten to be a pointless ego fest now so feel free to have the last word if you choose to provide one. I get a kick out of seeing people prolong dead arguments. It just proves that I won. Though, I did get a kick from the acronym. I’m not really sure what that proved either though.
See you in your next post.
Anna, I don’t understand… she is linking to her friend blog and that is not ok because?
You don’t think it’s appropriate to link to your friends? If I would finally open my website, chance are I’m going to blog about what happen to me or around me. If I speak every day with my friend who also have a website, chance are I’m going to say things like: ‘My friend ‘link to blog’ post this ‘blog’ and I think… etc. Don’t you think? I really don’t see what point you are trying to make? And Internet Police is also run by Becky… it’s host at http://police.babblative.com…
And I think it’s ok for her to post a review of a website, just like she would post a review of a product she has used. Just as it’s ok for the reviewed to not care about it. Britney is not going to care if I review her album on my blog, but does that mean I shouldnt do it?
Hi I'm Becky, often referred to as The Knitting Hillbilly and Pussybear, owner of this site and general nuisance. I'm a knitter, serial complainer, known whistle blower and I run the ever popular
She also appears to suffer from a case of enormous sidebar-itis. Speaking of the sidebar, it’s a good example of why justified text can be a bad idea (no matter how much I love the neatness) – the first line has a monster gap in it.
“All photography is copyright to their respective photographers, and I do not have any personal contact with any of the artists, bands, etc and/or their photographers. If you violate this code of conduct action will be taken upon discovery, aka you will be slapped. Hard.”
At least she points out the pictures aren’t hers?
