Continuing use, signed up despite myself:

Wow, you are ripping off Tumblr bigtime. Those are its "submit" buttons, too. What's the red-box-with-x design from? I know it's a generic icon, so is the red-border layout just generic or is that ripped off, too?

Your search is broken - you should also not require me to open a pop-up box to get it - and surprise! The search field is ripped off of Tumblr! This is the moment where I fire off an email to Marco to let him know somebody's stealing his designs.

You're using some sort of CMS for this, because I just got an error sign trying to search. So you're prepackaging somebody else's code here to make money?

Your welcome email: "My name is Peter Nicholls I am the founder of LifesBook so id firstly like to give a big thanks to you for signing up!"

Fix your spelling, fix your grammar, and fix your punctuation. This is your creation: show it some respect. Also, why pound signs for header info? Isn't bold better for that? Or better yet, CSS maybe?

Tumblr's buttons give me indication that I've clicked them. Yours are totally static. (I don't know why I go on giving feedback, since it looks like you utterly stole this idea. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.)

Why does deleting a post give me a JS prompt instead of one of your Facebook pop-up prompts?

Why does a text post give me a "WWW" symbol? They have a goddamned TEXT BUTTON. Can't you even rip off their paid-for design well?

"Dam" is spelled "Damn".

This site is very slow for some reason.

One final thing, because I've hit the wall of your featureset: don't make me click to four pages to get to settings. Put it all on one page unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.
