Website Review of: http://www.antibarbie.net/

What’s the purpose of this website?
To entertain readers.
Who is the owner of the website?

Recent Blog Posts
Happy Valentine’s Day! - A really short post, 59 words to be exact. But with 9 comments so far. It’s nice to see that even though it is Valentine’s day, Dawn stays true to her beliefs, as the “anti barbie”. However, I think Dawn could have made a few more words out of the post. Perhaps she could have written about her personal experiences from Valentine’s day. What she was planning on doing for Valentine’s day, etc.
Short Story - Fresh Meat - A nice long post, a story coming straight from the minds of Dawn, the anti Barbie herself! 
Poetry - The Winner - A nice poem! At first by reading the title, I thought someone had won a poem contest, but then after reading the post, I found out that the poem was actually called The winner.
My whole family is sick! - It’s always a bad thing when people get sick, and I hope the anti Barbie Dawn, and her family have recovered from their sickness, and that all is well. But similar to the Happy Valentine’s day post, this post had so much potential, but yet was cut short. In the end, the more content you write, the happier the search engines are, and the happier your readers, so its a win-win situation. People love reading personal stories, and I think, Dawn could have went into more details with this one.
QOTW - What Should Your Superpower Be? -A nice little post as part of the Question Of the week, however like most of the other posts above that I addressed, the lack of writing is evident. A count of only 96 personal words.
Final Thoughts on Getting to know the website
Try to put an emphasis on avoiding short blog posts, and to try to think of ways to increase the word count on short blog posts. More times than not, there is always something to talk about. Similar to what I referenced to in some of the posts. And in the end, longer posts suggests to me and others as well, that the owner of the blog or website is really trying hard, giving it their all, going above and beyond!
Theme / Design Critique
Header
The header is not too bad, I like the image of the women, it fits the theme of “anti” Barbie. The only thing I do not like is the font style being used. To me, it feels rather hard to read. For some of the words, it takes me a few seconds more to read what it says. Especially with the changing of colors.
Sidebar
Rss Feeds
A nice big custom made RSS feed button. Which is great for those that know how RSS feeds work, and how powerful they can be. But bad for those who have no clue what RSS feeds are. I would recommend to Dawn, to rework the RSS feed area. Make it easier for those who have no clue about RSS feeds, to sign up to an RSS feed via email.
Top Commentators
It’s great to see dawn using the top commentators plugin. It’s a great way to give back to the commentators, who take their time to leave a well valued comment. She currently has the limit set to the top 5 commentators, and as of right now the top commentator has a total of 13 comments!
Site Meter
From the looks of it, Dawn is using Sitemeter to track her website stats. I haven’t used sitemeter, but by the looks of it, it leaves a nice graphic button on her sidebar, promoting sitemeter. I would suggest to Dawn, to experiment, and try out Google Analytics.
Here is a link to what you can see if you are using Google Analytics, and much more beyond this image!
3D AntiBarbie Avatar
I clicked on the image, so I could visit the website it was linking to, however, as soon as I did, my Firefox browser crashed! This was bad for me, as I lost some of the writing that I am writing right now for this review. Luckily I was able to recover most of what I had typed, but still I lost some of the writing 
Final Thoughts On Theme Design
The biggest thing, is try to look over the rss feeds, and try to make it easier for all users to be able to subscribe to your website.
Being a first time visitor to the website, I wanted to see a history of the posts, and wanted to familiarize myself more with the blog. But there was no easy way for me to do that. I would highly recommend adding an archive page to the website. Similar to the one I am running here at my website http://www.jeancosta.com/archives.
Website Monetization
Currently I do not see the website being monetized, which is not a bad thing. It means that Dawn, values her readers, and puts an emphasis on pleasing it’s readers, before cashing in on the website. I hope Dawn continues on this path, and does not try to monetize too early on. If her blog is getting bigger and bigger, I would then slowly begin monetizing it. If and when Dawn does, start monetizing her blog, I would recommend her not try Google adsense. Because for personal blogs like these, the amount of revenue earned with Google adsense is quite low. She could earn alot more via private advertisement on her website, than using Google adsense.
Subscribe to my RSS Feed
Visibility needs improvement and I also noticed that the RSS was not easy to subscribe to. Overall not to bad, but at least you have some great advice on what you need to bring it to the next level.
