    I really love this website. It is well set out. I'm going to write this in sections.

    Homepage:
    The homepage is good. It is easy to find everything and you know where the update is. You haven't over crowded it either. That is good snce people hate it when there is too much on one page.

    Introduction
    I like it since it's short. You could, though, write more about what is on the site.

    Current theme
    I think you should put that on your layout history. You don't need it on the home page.

    Disclaimer
    This should be on everypage (as it is now) and also it must say the same thing.

    Owner
    This page was well made. It is very basic and clear. It's good you have the sub-navigation, since it would look messy to have everything on one page.

    Contact
    I think you should make the form smaller. It is very big now and it's hard to read the reasons.

    Visitor
    This page is amazing. I love how you made them very easy to find. I am also happy that you're providing PSP brushes. Not many people use PSP so there is more PS brushes to download that PSP. I also use PSP, since I find it easier, so it's hard for me to find brushes.

    Loved
    I'm not sure is they are links or affiliates. If they are affiliates, you should have them on every single page of your site, just like they do. It's only fair that you do. Also since you are linking to a new website you should use a code to link the site to a new window/tab.
    a href="" target="_blank" >LINK

    Well that's it. To sum it up, it is a very good site, with good graphics and very clear view. It is a good quality website. I hope you keep it that way.

    First Impression
    Simple but amazing. I love the site already. The site header is awesome, though I don't quite like the clash between vintage/grunge brushes and the bright colour scheme. But I guess it's what makes your site so unique.

    Layout & CSS
    My favourite thing about the layout by far is the flower on the date. Maybe I'm being biased because I happen to like dates being displayed on the side off the post the way yours is.

    The CSS in general is great and only has 10 errors on validation. It's clean, large and clear. Most importantly it ties well with the layout itself. I also love how the gravatars stand out too. It's cute. Great job.

    The HTML only has 8 errors on validation, not bad. I'm no HTML/CSS nazi, but I think it's nice to try to keep things clean.

    Content/
    I take it writing is one of your favourite Arts? I noticed every page has it's own "story" to tell. Even the about page (and subpages) are long. It's amusing. Most people keep it short and sweet.

    I like how the menu's and graphics are arranged neatly and accesable. Your articles (stories and tutorials) are pretty good too. The graphics are great.

    I honestly don't have much to say negetive except maybe you tend to waffle a lot, but I guess that's all a part of your style. Keep up the good work.

    I really dig the header image you created for this website; that's what caught my eye in the first place, influencing me to review this website. :)

    The only things I would recommend is to add more content for website visitors under the "Visitors" section; add some graphics (maybe add a portfolio - and include your past website layouts in this portfolio?). Add some more blog entries and general writing to ensure that users will want to come back to your website. Maybe a contest or two?

    Another thing would be the color scheme; try adding a different color instead of orange to balance out the green color scheme. I think dark purple or turquoise would work well with this color scheme.

    I loved the design of the site (as I said before, the design first caught my interest). I have one word to describe your site: quirky, and I like quirky. Good job!

    YAY FOR QUIRKYNESS xD
    I know this sounds like I'm making excuses ('k, maybe I am, but ssh) but my website is relatively new, because my previous one got deleted and I stupidly had no backups, so I had to start completely afresh with the content..etc. I do have previous layouts in the website section, but because it's a new website I'm only on the second version so there aren't too many to show case ;)

    I am slowly adding more content but yes! I love the idea of adding contests, thanks for the suggestion. :)

    Thanks for the lovely review, I really appreciate it!

    Mozilla Firefox
    1440x900pixels

    First Impression 2/3
    The lime green hurt my eyes, but not as much. (: Because you balance it out with the white blog area. But, your header is all grungy feel and your blog area seems very smooth and sleek. (Note the rounded edges of the blog area, it seems very smooth. I think you should have a simple, smooth header to compliment the blog area.

    Content 3/4
    It's all good. (: But it would be better if for the sub-navigation have a smooth font also. Maybe the same font as your blog text?

    Others 3/3
    I think your site is perfect! (Except that the smoothness doesn't match up).

    Wow thank you for the lovely review :)
    Yeah, I did think the green was pretty bright when I first made it, but I was too lazy to dull it down and I've got used to it now :3

    Oh damn, I fail at co ordinating things and stuff like that. I never realised I was mixing grunge with sleek (as you put it ;)) D: I'm working on a new layout, so I'll bear that in mind ^_^

    Thanks again for the review, I really appreciate it :)
