   Hello! I'm Jasmine.

   When I first enter your site, my eyes suddenly pop. The first then I see is a huge colorful header. It is very different and original, but I like it. It is simple with the rest of the layout, but yet, it stands out and looks nice. I like it, so good job.

   Its great that you keep your sidebar nice and simple. You don't have an excessive amount of junk. You have just what is needed and that is great.

   About: Your about page is short and simple. But that's okay, because I think a person is obliged to state as much or as little as they feel like about themselves when on the internet. I'm not so sure the post a comment section should be there. This is my opinion so, I really don't see a need for it. If some one wanted to contact you or get to know you or the site, they should email you, I wouldn't have a post a comment form on the about page, or any other page except your blog otherwise. I think it is a waste of space.

   Owner: Your information about yourself is lengthy! That's great because if some one wanted to get to know you a little more, they have plenty.

   Services: Hmm, I see where the post a comment form comes into play. This page simply states what services you offer. There is no information what so ever, no links. Nothing. I would consider adding more information here. Like, how you do these services and what your policies are. Also, I would include some, information on how a visitor can make their payments.

   Visitor: Wow! You have a LOT of stuff. That's great though. I enjoyed looking through all of the things you have to offer.

   The services section was blank for the longest time because I was going to open up a separate domain to offer services. That fell through so I just quickly put a couple of things just in case people wanted something ;)
   The comment form on every page is automatically there from Wordpress. I like it for the most part. A lot of people used to use it before I went on hiatus in December. They'd comment on graphics and stuff.
   Thanks a lot for the review :)

   Hi, I'm Kinza and I will be review your site today. I use Mozilla Firefox on a 1024 by 768 screen resolution.

   First Glance: When I first entered your site, I saw "Flashglam" in the middle of your header, and I'm assuming that it is the vocal point of your layout. I like that you added some color to the image, because without it, the layout would probably be extremely bland and uncreative.

   The Layout Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the text on the layout. It looks really pixelly, which can sometimes throw people off. It took me a moment to find your navigation because you placed it higher than people usually do... why not try moving it to beneath the header? On the header image, I love the design you have on it - it's simple, but it's unusually welcoming. Kudos for that.

   Um, your site pages won't load for me. I'll come back later to finish this review - hopefully, your site will be working.

   UPDATED 02 Jun 09:
   Oh... you changed your layout D: This makes things really hard.

   First Impressions: When I first visited your site, I saw that it was the exact same style, except with different colors an CSS. Sure, it's an interesting image, but it gets boring to see the same style all the time. Try working on something fresh.

   Layout: Like I said, it's boring to have the same style again. Now I'll review the other aspects of the layout. The header has a unique idea to it, but if you'd make it have a little less gray, I'd probably like it more. You have displayed your words in the center, and as I said in my previous review, it really stands out. Good job on that.
   The navigation is still not that visible, I would highly suggest either moving it below the header, or in the sidebar.
   Your CSS matches the layout quite nicely, but why not make the background a darker gray. It'd suit the layout a lot better.

   About It's short and sweet, and it didn't bore me. Nothing to say about this.

   Owner It's cool how your name came from your grandma - mine came out of the blue =/ Nothing to say about this section.

   Visitor On the main page of this, everything seems to be just "there." Try organizing them into different sections, like "Resources", "Writing", "Graphics", etc. It looks a little cluttered the way it is right now.

   Wow, you have a lot of visitor content. I'll review only the pages I see a problem with.

   Abercrombie and Hollister Suck This is a great article, but just keep in mind that not everyone knows what Abercrombie and Hollister are (: And I've never actually been inside them (I'm more of an Aeropostale person), so I can't say I'm offended by it. I think this would be a great article for some people in my school to read, however.

   Blank Buttons There isn't really a wide range of these - you just filtered the colors. Why not just put a grayscale one, and the person that's going to use them may edit the color to their liking? It's the same for the favicons. I can understand why you did it on the icon textures, though.

   Original Icons Okay, a lot of these are cute, but some of these are really blurry. I mean, do you honestly think someone would use this one: http://flashglam.com/icon/25.png? I suggest that you clean them up a bit.

   Pixels I know you're new to it... but would you mind letting me know what the pixel on there is D: I'm not trying to be rude, it's just that I honestly don't know what it is...

   Your quotes page isn't working.

   Overall Your site has a ton of potential, you just have to keep working on it. I can't wait to see it grow (:

   Thanks for being nice! I was a little nervous to put my site on because a lot of the time people are rude and don't even give real advice. . . :(
   Yeah, I think I'm going to remake that icon; not sure what I was thinking XD
   And the pixel is a pair of sunglasses, but with the white background, I guess it's hard to see. Haha.
   Thanks again.
