Review

Owner

We learn from the site that the owner's personality is a great one, and is shown through the cbox and many of the posts. The site's cbox has very recently been put up, but there aren't many people chatting or making comments at this time. But when people do say things, Jamie is quick to say hello, and welcome them kindly to the site.

Layout

Timelords Vs Daleks uses one of the original Blogger templates, but is one of the best. It mainly has a white background, with a great light blue next to the banner, and light orange backgrounds to headers in the sidebar. Apart from it being a tad to big, the banner gives lovely colour to the top of the site, and the posts always contain pictures for the same affect, which leads us onto the next topic...

News Posts

The whole idea of the site is to give you all the news from the Who world. There are a suprising number of posts each day, which is fantastic if you want to be updated on news a lot of the time. Most news that you'd find interesting is posted, on all three topics, Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. It is always written in a tidily and understandable fashion, with quotes and press releases marked clearly in red. Pictures are put in on every post, which is magnificent as the site then does not look too boring. Occasionally the pictures are made by the owner, and I have to say, very well!

Spelling and Grammar

Looking through the site, there doesn't seem to be very many spelling mistakes at all, but one thing I would say, is that a lot of the time there is a misuse of capital letters, meaning that sometimes when a word is supposed to have a small letter at the start, it is sometimes replaced with a capital. None of the first words in a sentence have that problem though.

Pages

I cannot find any pages on Timelords Vs Daleks yet, but, as the site has not been running for long, there might be a few in the near future, perhaps? There is enough to keep you occupied on the main page for a while, though.

Sidebar

There are some magnificent things in the site's sidebar. At the top is an owner's profile gadget, which is possibly supposed to be a welcome sign? Maybe, for the welcome sign, there should be a proper one, but it is not too major. A poll is usually running below it, in which a few people vote, but not a lot, and this is mainly because the site hasn't been going for long, so is not attracting a lot of visitors. The cbox has just been put up, and below it is a schedule for the next episodes to be broadcast of Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. These are good for if you forget, but you shouldn't do! Also, USA broadcasts are sometimes mentioned. A hit counter and an 'online now' gadget tell you brief visitor information, and a nice-looking countdown for Doctor Who's 2008 Christmas Special is below it. A short section of links and the site's archive also feature at the bottom.

Other Features

Banner; The Banner for Timelords Vs Daleks looks excellent, and contains pictures of latest episodes. At the moment, two pictures of a Cyberman and Elijah Spellman are cut out onto a starry background, with the site's, Torchwood's and The Sarah Jane Adventures' logos around the center. Although you can see it and know what it is, I think the site's logo should be made more clear, so you know exactly what site you are looking at!

atts key suggestions

• Banner Size needs a little bit of an edit
• Cut down on capital letter misuse
• A few pages?
• The welcome sign more clear
• Siet's logo more clear on logo, so you don't get confused with Torchwood's and The Sarah Jane Adventures'

Note - these are only suggestions, which you may or may not want to take into account.

Overall

Timelords Vs Daleks is a fabulous site in the making, for the latest news, and has the capability to become bigger and better in the future!
