FIRST IMPRESSION
- Clean. It's so simple, but not plain (simple and plain are different, right?) I agree with your sub-header--simplicity at its best. :D
LAYOUT
- Neat sidebar, everything organized well. The font is readable, enough padding...almost perfect. The color scheme looks matches, well done ;)
ABOUT
- Very well written history. Not too long but not too short. And that's good you give visitors answer about your site name.
Affiliates
- Nothing wrong in this page, really neat. The list in alphabetical order :D but I suggest you to put form in this page.
Contact Me
- Standard "Contact Me" page.
Credits
- I like the way you credit people. It's really neat and organized. Glad to see that you credit Wordpress too. But don't forget to credit Fast Online Users etc., they should be credited too.
Past Layouts
- Very neat. But I think you shouldn't call your current layout "Past Layout". It should be called "Current Layout" or something similar because you still use the layout until now.
OWNER
- Standard "Owner" page. Very well written. Yeah I have a fear about offline friends and parents finding out about my site. My site is my biggest secret. Lol.
TUTORIALS
- The rules are make sense and clear :)
- I took a look at some of your tutorials, mostly Paint Shop Pro tutorials. You need to ditch some "easy" tutorials like make a PNG, cropping, basic blending...I can find those tutorials in lots of sites.
RESOURCES
Blog Smilies
- Your smilies are really good. You should add more :)
- The rules are make sense and clear.
Coded Layouts
- Really high quality. But I'm confused about the number in each layout like "Simplicity 1", "Simplicity 2", "Simplicity 3". You don't need those numbers. Just leave it "Simplicity" without numbers.
Colour Palettes
- You have good eyes of color, but these are useless. Usually people go to colourlovers.org to find some color inspiration.
- Glad to see that you also write the color code! :)
Fonts
1. Everything on these pages were made by me.
2. Do not remove any credits.
3. Please do not redistribute any of my stuff.
I read the rules in "Resources" main page twice. You said "Everything on these pages were made by me", but in the "Fonts" page you said if none of these fonts were made by you. And in the point number three you said "Do not redistribute any of my stuff" but you redistribute these fonts. Hmm...I think you should remove this section because usually if people wants to download fonts, they go to Dafont.com or 1001fonts.com.
Photoshop Actions
- They're pretty good, but you still use celebrity images as a preview. Why don't you try to use stocks or your own photos?
PSP Scripts
- Same with above.
- They're really good and you provide visitors with lots of variations, good job :D
Website Templates
- They're really good, I might use it someday.
CONCLUSION
I'm glad that you don't have an contents like blends, etc., that use celebrity images. You just have celebrity images in scripts and actions preview and most tutorials. But that's okay :D I also love the neatness and cleanness in your layout. You're really talented more than mine. Keep up the great work :)
I'm sorry if I'm too harsh in some points, but this is my review style :)
