   Hi Aerin,

   I'm Michelle from PieFTW and I'll be reviewing your website, Brighteous in Mozilla Firefox on a Windows PC.

   Firstly, I really like this layout and the coding, but the only thing that bugs me is when I have to scroll down after entering a page e.g: your 'about me page' you put before your bio 'hosted by whoever' and such. How about making that small or at the bottom?

   I'm a bit slow this morning and realised the links for the pages were in those purple header looking things - I had dismissed that for being part of your blog. Told you I am slow ;P

   I can't seem to open up your 'resource' page :O

   You bio on yourself is short, sweet and honest. You seem like a great person to be friends with :)

   I like your articles, you should put up more.
   And your tutorials are helpful.

   All in all I really like your website and have become a frequent visitor :)
   Keep up the good work!!

   Design 2-5stars:
   Well, I'm not too sure I like the layout. The colors don't really make sense to me. The layout scrolls and I don't really see a reason for it. It scrolls an entire screen, both horizontally and vertically. The content box is small and it makes it a little bit hard to read, since the text is kind of large.
   I don't like the cursor, it makes it very hard to tell where you're navigating to, precisely.

   Content 4-5stars:
   Did you get redistribution permissions for these fonts? The textures are nice, though.

   All in all, its a pretty nice site, but it could use some coding cleanup and a hefty redesign. The design is too busy and the palette doesn't seem to be thought through.

   LOL, all day I've been in the middle of coding the layout and I forgot I took off the maintenance plugin.

   Your layout/Homepage:
   I love your layout =} the editing is very well done, props. I like the coding & overall look of it too, it's pretty original and professional-looking.

   Your content:
   Colour palletes; i didn't really like the colours you chose but that's just a personal opinion =]
   Brushes; you don't have many but i do like them :) so well done.
   Psds; aww! they're so cute! The neipet-sort-of-things and the barbie dolls too. Love them.
   Textures: I like these too. I think you just need a few more of each thing as you don't have alot of content yet.

   What you're lacking or could add:
   You could add a few more brushes and more choice in your colour palletes. Maybe could add human-psds.

   Overall score: 3 & a half stars. i like the site and no doubt about it, you're talented, i just wished you had a lot more content and more choice of what you do have but you do have plenty of time to get all that done.

   LAYOUT:
   I was drawn to review your website because the layout looks very interesting. I really like the layout, if I was a first time visitor (which I am), I'd definitely continue to browse. However, I do not like the fact that when I hover over the blog it lights up :/ You should leave it solid the whole time. Apart from that, your CSS is gorgeous :] I love it.

   CONTENT:
   RESOURCES: Your colour pallets are nice. Your brushes are alright, I don't see them being downloaded maybe you should spend more time on these. If you didn't make the fonts, you shouldn't display them. Your textures are amazing.

   TUTORIALS:
   Maybe you should list this as bullets. If you continue to add more tutorials and keep using those boxes the page may become cluttered. Most of you tutorials are quite simple, like the blending one can be found in many places. Advanced pictures one's though are usually good and original.

   Your articles are fine.

   PREMADES:
   This preview image is way to big, you should make it small and also un animate it. I clicked it and saw that it took me straight to the download page, maybe you should have a 'preview' link and a 'download' link. It looks nice though.

   Your site is good, I suggest you add more HQ visitor content, list some of your pages (eg the tutorial page) with bullets or something and make the blog frame solid.

   Good job :]

   Hey, I'm Francine and I'll be reviewing your site today. :)

   Layout:
   Very creative. But, my screen is too small for this layout, so I have to scroll to see the whole thing, which is a turn off. Also, it seems as though there are WAY too many things going on in this layout. I could barely see the content section. In your next layout, try and focus on one main thing, instead of having many things all around the page. Although, I do think this layout is very beautiful. I would say the text is blurry, but it's blurry in a stylish way, so it doesn't look bad. Great!

   Resources:
   Your color palettes are lovely! I love how you put little phrases above each one. :) That gives it character. I also like the colors you picked, except the last one looks a bit bright. The first brush isn't taking me to the image pack, btw, maybe you should fix that. But, I personally don't like image pack-ed brushes, because then I have to cut them out in Photoshop. Maybe try and have PS brushes and Image packs? Nice PSDs. I love how you have dolls. ;D Nice textures, but try and have something original. A lot of people have those type of textures.

   Tutorials:
   Nice blending tutorial. :) I don't usually blend that way, but I've never seen a tutorial on it like that, so nice originiality. Your Installing Wordpress tutorial is very detailed, nicely done. But try making your screen shots smaller, and then have the viewer click on them to make it bigger so that there isn't a scroller on the bottom. I think the last tutorial should be an article in my opinion.

   Articles:
   Your articles are interesting! I can't really say much else about them. :D

   Premades:
   I like the one wordpres theme you do have. Make more! They are great. :) I also like how in the preview, that it switches between views of the layout.

   Overall:
   I think you have a great site, but try and fix those little things I mentioned. After I was done looking around your site, I got really annoyed with how big your layout is and how I had to keep scrolling back and forth. Not many people have such big screens. So, I gave you three stars. :)

   Good luck with you and your site! I hope you don't take anything I said too harshly, I'm just trying to help. :)

   Hello there. (:
   My name is Ashley and I will be reviewing your site today.
   I will be using interenet explorer with a Resolution of 1280X800.

   This is only going to be a short && but informational review. (:

   Layout && First impression:
   Your layout is HUGE. And you have scroll bars from left to right.
   Huge turn on and personally that just bugs me.
   You also have scrollbars in your content box as well!
   You really should fix that.

   Also I noticed...your content box is so small! 0.o
   I hate having to scroll through the page just to find some decent content on pages.
   Maybe when you make a new layout (if you are going to) Make the content box bigger, and the images
   on your layout smaller.
   Other than that your site seems pretty orginized to me. So there is a plus (:
   I also liked the fact that you used soft colors. (: I hate sites that use really bright colors
   all over there layout. It looks bad and hurts your eyes.

   Your content is really good! But your brushes could use some spicing up. They are a tad bit
   boring currently, but a great start!
   I would just say add a lot more to your resource section. That tends to be a really popular
   section amung vistors.

   Your tutorials are nice! I like how you put 'Beginners' And 'advanced' .
   Also I like how you used images. (: Many people find it hard to follow tutorials if there aren't
   images acually showing the steps.

   Other than that you site is pretty good! (: But can use a lot of improvement.
   Mostly in the layout because I know it was annoying me so much while I was doing the review,
   But I think it is just because I have a smaller screen then you were using.

   I give your site a 3 1/2 stars.
   Good luck with your site and I hope my review helped out a bit!

   Thanks. I am a first time site owner and it opened 4 days ago. :o
   Of course my next layout will be less scroll-oriented. xD
   Full page layouts are always pretty to look at but a horror to code--ick!
   Thank you for the other critique also!

   I hope you approve of my next layout ;)
