    Hey I'm K.O. and I'm going to be reviewing your site in IE because I don't have fire fox on this computer.

    First impression
    I really like your header. It's really awesome and it looks like you put a lot of care into it. Your layout also looks very organized. However your message telling people to get firefox, is a bit much. You should suggest it and not through it in people's faces, because that can make people not want to stay and see what your site offers.

    Layout/Coding
    Your layoutlike stated before is quite nice. The colors aren't over baring, and your content is organized. However your HTML code has 295 errors, and 5 warnings. i think that this is why your site doesn't display properly inf anything but IE and maybe you should look at your code. Css wise your code has 11 errors.

    Content
    I saw that you offer twitter layouts, and then i saw you offered backgrounds so i took a peek. The backgrounds you offer are the same as those in the twitter layouts. So I suggest that you take off the one of them. Preferably the twitter layouts cause those are easy to make.
    Your reasorces are very nice so keep up the good work there.
    Your articles are very nice, and so are your tutorials, but I have a question, wouldn't your article about sarah be more of a blog than an article.?

    Overall
    Over all you have a fantastic site. I really like it and it's very creative.

    I'm going to start out by complimenting your banner, it's very cool! I love the text you used an all the effects. One can tell by your homepage that you are definately a site of high standard.

    As for the little message about Firefox... I use IE and prefer it much more over Firefox. I can see that your site doesn't display properly, so maybe you could work on making it work as compatible as possible with IE.

    Besides that, everything looks good. I like the colors you used. The use of different fonts and such makes everything quite appealing.

    Portfolio
    I like the way everything is displayed neatly in nice 60x60 icons. I notice that the spacing is weird in rows that are incomplete, which is a cause of having the alignment set to justify. I would try to make them space evenly, if possible. The content on here is great, and a lot of fun to browse through.

    Content
    I notice that you have 'Content' on your navigation and then 'Textures', 'Brushes', and 'Tutorials' next to it. When I click on 'Content', it lists those three links. I would get rid of the 'Content' page in this case.

    Textures
    By far, your icon textures are my favorite thing about your site. They are great! I might use some myself. The large textures are nice too.

    Brushes
    I like that you have a variety of brushes and display them neatly, just like everything else. Some of them look a little plain, though, such as the first one. I've seen sites with similar brushes.

    Tutorials
    The icon tutorials are fun to read, but usually in your steps you just use one of your textures to brighten the icon up. I think if you're going to make a tutorial on making icons, you should show how to make some from scratch, and possibly suggest using textures/brushes to brighten them up.

    Domain Hosting
    This page is good, I like that you used bulleted lists. I'm not fond of them being centered, however, as you have them displayed under 'What's in it for you?' and 'Hostee Guidelines'.

    Overall
    I think your site is very nice. It has a lot of content that is very appealing. The textures and portfolio stand out to me the most. Nice job!

    I don't quite know what site the reviewer above was talking about, as everything is linked properly, the two links she was talking about are drop down menus, so you have to pick the particular section you want in the drop down. The drop down menu is instantaneous, so it's not even a matter of waiting for it to load.

    The theme of the site is easily discernible when you look at the links at the top of the page. It's clearly a portfolio and graphic extras site.

    All of her goodies are free, and you do have to login to get them -- just in the forum instead of the site.

    To repeat myself, I don't know what site you were viewing, but you might want to look at some more before you go ahead and put down reviews without actually taking the time to fully explore the site.

    First Impression-
    This is definitely a different website. I have never seen anything like it before. The name is unique, even though a lot of people use "faux" nowadays. The blog is so big, though. There is not a welcome message. :(

    Organization-
    Content should be changed to "Visitor" since 'content' means everything that is on your site. Besides that, why make a page for the visitor material when you already have everything in your top navigation?

    Content-
    The home page is okay. Like I said above, there is no welcome message. You may want to add one? Perhaps in the header? I could not really tell what your 'theme' is if you have one. A reviewer should be able to know what your theme is within the first 20 seconds of viewing everything on your website. They should also be able to see your personality and hear your voice. From the bug/oatmeal blog I am guessing that you are a boy since you left oatmeal sitting out for a day at your desk? That was a bit disgusting.

    Why do the textures and tutorials links link to the content page? You should try using PHP includes to avoid this problem. It makes editing everything much easier.

    If you are going to provide things for other people to use, make them free or have them login first. The brushes page is more of a teaser than a pleaser. The textures link links to this brushes page. Like I said, PHP includes... Tutorials leads to the same page as well, and I am not going to spend my time to go back to that "content" page.

    I feel that that the "Domain" page could have been organized better. Perhaps like you did your "content" page? Also, make a form for people to apply to be hosted. Do not make them comment. I would not want my application to be there for all to see. Do not be lazy, just create one. Even a 123contactform.com or freedback.com form will satisfy.

    For the Lights MB site, I am supposing that it is yours since you said that people must be a member of the dang forum in order to be able to download them. What is the point in downloading them? I would much rather search for them some place else rather than join a forum to get a brush pack.

    Though I did not validate your website, you may validate the XHTML here: validator.w3.org/ and the CSS here: jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator .

    It was rather difficult to review your website since not all of the pages were linked properly.
