I’ve been performing my whole life. Throughout school, I was always quite the teacher’s pet. Exam seasons were my favourite parts of the school year. Obviously, I am the type of person who craves being graded. Since I am no longer actively performing, or enrolled in school, I am at quite a loss.
Essentially, the only thing I can be graded on is… this.
That is where you guys come in! I want to know what you think. About what? About all sorts of stuff!
Firstly, I want to know, what do you think about me? Sort of à la testimonials over at Calm Banana (which were, *ahem*, my idea. Ha ha.). Feel free to be honest. Do you think I am a pretentious bitch? Yes, I would like to know that!
Secondly, what do you think about the site? I know, it needs a lot of work, and to be honest, I’m not 100% sure where to begin! Since you guys visit it, you should have at least a little say (I obviously get more say, since it is a personal site, but it’s still nice to share the power, isn’t it?).
Let me know by either commenting on this entry, or, if you would like to be more discreet, use my contact form!
Okay, Aislingy, I will grade you. (But you know I <3 you, even if I refuse to pay for your pension, so I might be slightly biased.)
What do I think about you? Well, what do you want me to say?? I think you’re weird, funny, and nice, and I think you have a very interesting life.
But I’m NOT PAYING FOR YOUR PENSION!!
What do I think about your site? Okay, first I’ll talk about the layout. I don’t really like it that much… I mean, I don’t hate it, but it’s definitely a step down from M. Monstre and the pink one. It’s just not Aisling-like. :P Now, onto your content. I think you have too many subpages under Aisling, and some can be combined, like About Aisling can be combined with What’s In a Name?. Also, you could mention some of your likes and dislikes on the About Aisling page, and maybe talk about why. Otherwise that information is kinda pointless. I like the media section a lot, so nothing to complain about there, really. Site is also fine as far as I’m concerned, same with Links. So really it’s just your About section for me.
Also, I think you could have a main page for each section with links on the sidebar to the subpages. That way you don’t have to click on ANOTHER link just to find out the basic information - you can read about you (for example) and then choose which subpages you want to read, if any.
That was looooong…
ya, well its ok, but hey do you want to be an affie?
Hmm I don’t know you well enough to comment about you, so I’ll just comment on the site (:
I adore all of your layouts, they are always very simple and pretty. I liked your black ones before better than the current, but it’s always good to try other styles. And the tagline “I’ve Been Awake All Week” always makes me laugh (:
I don’t know you very well, but you seem to be a very interesting and smart person.
I haven’t visited your site enough to rate you. Maybe next time? Saying that, I can’t grade you as a person either. I’ll need to visit your blog more often.
However, I’ve gathered from comments that you’re a grade A stalker! :P
Well, firstly, I don’t “know” you as well as I know lots of other people online, but I think you seem like a really fun, happy-go-lucky, upbeat person. You sort of remind me of myself sometimes. You can be sort of goofy like me it seems like.
However, I think you may have a slightly morbid (or gloomy?) side just like I do. I’d also describe you as peppy and full of zest.
As far as your site goes, I’m not really digging the layout right now. I liked your monster one better. *missies it!* You need a new favicon because the pink star one doesn’t really go with this layout me doesn’t think. Anyway, I love the media section! I agree with Clem about a sidebar possibly being a good thing. Other than that, you have a lot of interesting things on your site. I may have to stalk you now.
I haven’t been reading your blog long enough to know much about you, but I do love the simplicity of your blog. Personally, I’m not a fan of this cornflower blue-ish color, but you made it work with the dark gray background. i also love blogs with a wide line-spacing.. it makes it easier and more attractive to read. I’m gonna come back tomorrow when I’m not so busy to go through some of your archives. =P
meep!
first off: i think you are adorable. just adorable! esp after watching your cute little video’s and you’re Canadian, which also rocks ^^ And you always have interesting posts and I enjoy reading about your life.
secondly: i see where you were going with this layout.. a nice user friendly, clean, image free, beautifully written piece of CSS, but……… it is a little on the plain side. And the red throws off the color scheme. i definitely enjoyed some of your older layouts more. but i like this one too, unless it’s horrible ugly, i tend to ignore layouts and jump into content. *hugs*
