I had forgotten that I had an account at rev.iew.me, I think I might get back into the swing of reviewing sites again.

Or, I could put some work into my own instead!

Good luck with your reviewing! Yeah, most people at Rev.iew.me are very tough. I have an account there, but I’ve only reviewed once. I feel like my reviews are so mediocre (spelled wrong?) compared to everyone else’s. But, I don’t know, maybe I’ll just keep at it and then add my site to be reviewed as well.

I think I should clarify my point. I’m not saying lists of information (such as in this post) should be styled I’m saying that things that are input using li tags that aren’t actually a list – for example the popular posts/recent comments on this site or a selection of thumbnails should be styled.

Bullet points in writing are for displaying lists of information but in html its also for information and displaying certain things like navigation or a block of images – those are the bullets I’m talking about styling.

(ps I dont mind lower-roman or square or any of the css bullets I just don’t think that when combined with the small font that a site invariably has, that the large default circular bullet really goes. It just looks like its been forgotten!)

Hai. I got to your site from the review me site. :P Just one thing;

“Bullet points need styling I’d rather have no bullets than the default black circles”

Not everyone knows how to change that, or make bullets, or remembers to put in the tags. I think that’s a little unfair as it’s a personal preference rather then a demand that will deter people away from your site.

Bullet points are for making lists etc. If people would rather their readers focused on the list rather then the pretty colors / pictures, then that’s up to them. I think that’s a little unfair to judge someones website on things not many people care about, but a personal preference.
