One of the gifts manfriend gave me was a 1950’s copy of Mrs Beetons Household management! It still has its dust cover, which I’m told makes it quite rare. All I know is that its fascinating to read!
The book tells you the origins of the Sunday Roast and how to prepare high tea including what should be on the menu. Mrs Beeton talks about picnics and gives you a list of what to take for a picnic of 40 people! I’d love to get 40 people to come to a Mrs Beeton’s picnic!
I love the adverts in the covers too!
I can’t believe my silly header has been featured with the likes of this lot. 8 below Web Designer Wall, above a website I worship (Because I adore puffins!) Branded07!
I’m sure theres actually no order to it! Still I’m thrilled that the hard work and actual paying attention to this layout has paid off! <3
I’ve set myself up for scrutiny and signed up to Rev.iew.me. I’ve recently reworked this entire site, I’m now happy with it. Happy enough to put it up to be reviewed by a tough crowd. So go ahead do your worst!
I’m trying to be a good member and review other sites, so far I’ve written two and deleted three so really I’ve done five! I write a review but I don’t think I’ve quite worked out the lingo yet. I like bullet points but I should really write sentences. I seem to find myself repeating the same things.
- Bullet points need styling I’d rather have no bullets than the default black circles
- Line height is shorter than I am
- Font Size is indecipherable
- You have far to many colours in your text
- Your content doesn’t blend with your header at all – its like you stuck a random image on top of some text they don’t link at all
- Your content is all below the fold – you shouldn’t have to scroll to see it
Now if only I could copy and paste that onto most of the pages I’d be a great reviewer, but I don’t have the heart. If someones gonna put the effort into reviewing this site then I should do the same for theirs. It just might take me a few drafts to get there!!
