   Website: Kaleidoscopic Wandering
   Link: http://kaleidoscopicwandering.com

   What Works:

   1. Nice and clean website that's easy to read.
   2. The website isn't cluttered with ads.
   3. Like the featured article box.
   4. Like the Travel Tip. Does this change daily or weekly?

   What Could Be Better:

   1. Move the Facebook widget from the bottom to the right hand side. This way people will see it straight away.
   2. Have the Twitter widget on the right hand side so people can read the "tweets."

   Suggestions:

   1. Consider taking out the travel writing links from the About page and create a new page called Portfolio or something else. It seemed like the My Photos, My Virtual Life, etc... could have separate pages or combine them with a Portfolio page.
   2. Think about moving the More About Me to the top.
   3. Consider moving Archives under Categories.
   4. There's a lot of white space because the website has a white background. Consider a theme with a dash of color. My eyes kept going to the right hand side where there's a lot of white space. Then again, it could be the graphic designer in me that's being "nit picky" about white space. It seemed like the information on the website was "squeezed" together

   What works:
   * Nice, clean theme
   * I like the picts on the left. Very colourful and in tune with your blog name
   * Very nice blog roll. Good to have it defined by sort and nice to have a short synopsis about each one
   * Travel tips are great. Smart idea to have them relate to posts

   What could be better:
   * It’s not immediately clear that the ‘advertising & press’ tab has a contact form

   Suggestions:
   * Move the things at the bottom of the site to the side bar
   * Background colour for the sides are, as Rebecca said, a bit white. I don’t know if it is possible, but maybe change it to a very light green to keep in the colour scheme of the theme. The main part and side bars should stay white.

   Overall it’s a very nice and easy to navigate site.

   Wow I love your site JoAnna!

   What Works:
   * It's a beautiful theme and I really like all the whitespace - it makes it seem very open and uncluttered.
   * I love the navigation at the top - clear and cool menu action.
   * Great use of photos for the rotating section at the top and the posts below it.

   What Could Be Better:
   To be honest, I like your site so much that I really can't think of anything I'd change, but I do like Rebecca's suggestion of moving some of the information on your "About" page to a Portfolio page.

   Suggestions:
   I wonder how many people get all the way down to a footer - so if you want to boost your Facebook followers/fans, you might consider moving that to your sidebar, maybe above the Categories.
