ASSESMENT SHEET -

This isn't the final copy of my assesment sheet, it's more guidelines to what i'll be testing you all on. If you enter yourself, and realise your a missing a good amount of most of these things, then there's no need to withdraw yourself, just try to improve your blog. I plan to start assessing everything by January 2006, so you have a long time to get yourself ready.

I have made small categories to help myself firstly, and you, know what you need to become the Top Blog. I'm putting these categories into the order i find most important, although some i just stuck in places as i didn't know where to put them really, The first 3 are extreamly important though.
