(See suggestions.) 6/10 Layout: Your layout is very cute! 20/20 Grammar // Spelling: I just found two spelling mistakes ... great job!! 19/20 Originality: There are quite a few icon sites out there, but I like how you have a wide variety of icons to choose from. You have humorous icons (which were very funny, by the way), movie icons, brand name icons, and more. 7/10 Popularity: You're doing quite well with subscribers and comments considering your site has only been opened for about a month. 9/10 Overall Appearance: Love the layout, the icons are cute, and I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into finding icons and updating. 10/10 Extra Credit: I'm giving you 5 extra points because you gave credit for the icons you got from other sites.

I would also suggest putting your icons in categories, such as "Brand Names," "Movies," etc. Other than that, I think your site is great! Keep up the good work!

Site Name (10): It's cute! 8/10 Neatness // Organization (10): Everything's pretty organized, but the font is sort of hard to read. 6/10 Layout (20): It's cute! 16/20 Grammar // Spelling (20): There are a few spelling mistakes, but everything's still readable. 16/20 Originality (10): Pretty original. I like the checklist module and the favorites module you have on your site. 8/10 Popularity (10): You could use more comments and subscribers. (See suggestions) 6/10 Overall Appearance (20): The icons are all in one entry, you have music on your page, and you have side modules that spice up your site. 15/20 Extra Credit: I'm giving you 5 extra points because you credited the icon site you got some of your icons from. TOTAL: 80/100 C Suggestions // Additional Comments: One suggestion would be to change your font in the first entry. The font you have is readable, but it'd be a lot easier to read with a different font or with more space between each line. Another suggestion would be to insert a scroll bar in each entry so they're smaller and don't make you keep scrolling down the whole page just to see all of your icons. My last suggestion is to start joining blogrings, which will definitely bring in more comments and subscriptions. Good luck with your site!
