first impression

Love that background texture. It's wonderful.

graphic

There is no featured graphic. Usually, I don't feel that this works out, but Kari has pulled this off really well. The only graphic is the background texture... which I love!

coding

The code of this layout matches the background texture, everything looks nice, everything is readable, different fonts are used, the headers between the main div and the sidebar differentiate... amazing job, really.

I just don't like how the top navigation all moves when you hover over a link. I would change the hover effect.

content

Visitor content includes icon textures, stocks, web templates, wordpress templates, various articles, movie reviews, and quite a few of tutorials.

By the way, on the resources page, I love that block quote. Cute.

icon textures;
Although I don't find icon textures to be a sufficient use of a designer's time, most of these textures are nice, cute, and all are of high quality.

stocks;
Nice job with the previews; I hate it when people don't have previews. I like the "older stocks" much more than the "newest stocks."

web templates;
Interesting idea... I guess. I'm not sure how often these would get used. I'm curious to know, actually. I don't really know what to think of these. I feel that people should be able to do this themselves.

wordpress templates;
Well, there's only one, but it's nice!

articles;
31 Greatest Blogging Ideas, Guide to Affiliations, and Guide to Blogging.

These seem like superb articles for her site and her affiliates/visitors. Nice choices.

31 Greatest Blogging Ideas... if you have a blog, read this! LINK.

The other two entries use grammar, puncuation, and spelling. Yes!

I like her little disclaimer.

First off all, these are my opinions. If you don't like what you're reading, then close this window. There's no need to cause drama.

I can relate to that! My reviews are my opinions, and if someone doesn't like my opinion of their site, they can just go without reading it a second time.

movie reviews;
Well, there's only one, and I've never seen it...

I appreciate how she include the genre, length, raiting, release date, stars, and director, along wth a summary by Netflix (whom she has linked, yay!).

tutorials;
Several tutorials ranging from Adobe Photoshop, CSS, FTP, HTML/XHTML, PHP, and Wordpress.

These are easy to understand and follow along with.

navigation

I LOVE THE NAVIGATION!

The subpages include home, webmiss, resources, tutorials, site, and ask me.

Needless to say... this makes it very easy to navigate.

The credits page can be found off of the site page. It doesn't look skimpy at all.

overall

Lethargy is a well made site with a creative site layout, which features a very nice code.

Her icon textures and "older" stock images are great. If you're looking for some, I suggest you head on over.

Her articles are perfect for her website.

Overall... the site is very well thought out and planned.
