Website critique #2
Found this by accident and couldn't resist it!
http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/000953.html
The whole site is so witty I could forgive it almost anything (humour and politics are as subjective as colour, of course) – even the dreaded scrolling. But it is actually very well-designed, with the information centre-stage and links and additional info neatly at the sides, not crowded, just enough photographs to tempt and entertain, not too much wasted space. I think the colour scheme is easy on the eye too.
It loads fast and passes the test of easy linking back to the home page, though the link is not perhaps quite obvious enough. Very distinctive heading though it takes up a little too much space at expense of the rest of the page.
Rating – excellent (5)

Jane, don't know what happenned but have already reviewed this site and posted it but nothing is showing on your blog.
It went something along the lines of:
Agree that the header is too large, there is too much scrolling and difficult to spot the links back.
I have difficulty in reading the white font on the blue background; I think the problems the choice of font face.
Takes about 15 seconds to fully load, which is a bit excessive based on the content.
I like the print version option and the options to resize the text on the left menu.
