Navigation
The top navigation is not great. The links are not formatted to be prominent, and should not be put together, since they fulfil very different roles i.e. the top, flop and random FML's should be separate from the API and Team's blog.
Architecture
The architecture is incredibly flat, since it's a series of short posts. All you can do is obtain various subsets of posts and click each post to get comments. Some links e.g. API and Team's Blog are different, but there's no real hierarchy.
Content/Typography
The site really only has one type of content, and it does a fairly decent job of organising it. The text is fairly legible, with enough leading.
Grid/structure
The structure is not great. They probably should have made the layout more of a grid rather than just a stack of posts, since each one is so short, but, at least they're contained in subtle boxes.
Iconography/imagery
There's not a whole lot of iconography. There's a "new" marker for new posts, and French and British flags to indicate the two versions, but the other icons are share icons for other services and a twitter icon. The logo is really too small. The illustrated FML's and FML store graphics are nice, but it seems odd to make them so prominent.
Color Palette
The colour palette is nice and simple, with a blue gradient and white text boxes.
Site Focus
Because the site is so focused on one task, posting messages, this allows it to have a fairly simple structure. But the layout is too flat, making it hard to spot important elements on the site.
