Layout: 17/20 FIRST LOOK: Awesome photo effect!
Look over(IE): I like the colors in the layout[the photos] and you added a nice effect and that cutout thing is really freakin' awesome! Though it is slightly hard to read the text/font of the updates page and content area in IE! The imagemapping is really nice though I read that you got someone else to do it? It's really not that hard. Oh well I guess I shouldn't review that since you didn't do that part,eh? Nicely done so far, though maybe change the font even though in MF it looks awesome.
Look over[MF]: The layout actually looks even better in Firefox! I can actually read your pages now :p Any who, you did nice though next time don't put so much burn/overlay things on the images because it makes them a bit too dark. Actually it's sort of like you added contrast? Any who either way a lil' to much. Watch that. You made it look nicely professional and yet also awesome because you added colors with the image and the text. Though, it's white...and maybe next time don't use white...it's a little boring!

Graphics: 7/10
Aren't name graphics kind of pointless? I mean, their good, the ones that are there. But not everyone will have those names and they will be disappointed and they can't even use them if its not their name. See the problem? You icons are pretty good but their a little to bright for my taste, that would be because you either put too much contrast or meant to do that. Either way, try not to it hurts my eyes :( But I sort of like them anyways :p [xx]<xx] <xx]. I don't personally like that effect though in some of yours you make it work. But people keep doing that and it makes me sad they aren't blending :( Did I not get this memo or something? I dont know :p Though a lot of your signs are pretty nice :) Why don't you make your smilies into a folder of some sort? like a .zip file. It makes everyting easier truth of the matter. Maybe do that? Yet I do like your smilies they are very well done and cute. They also make me jealous of your smilie making skills :p. Your back and forward and stuff things are alright though I have seen better. Alright so far. p.s. sorry if I am sounding completely bitchy :p I am just giving you some tips and such.

Content: 5/7
Your brushes: I probably wouldn't download them if that says anything? I don't know, I just don't find them interesting. Oh well sorry!
Fonts: They aren't yours but it's sometimes nice when webmasters share the kind of fonts they use themselves. Though, it is good you said they were not created by you. Because sometimes you could get sued if you did not state that fact. Icon textures: Alright I guess, not the best but if you keep practicing you will get better so keep going my friend! Tutorials: Some of your tutorials are good. Well all of them are it's just that some of them I already know and some of them I wouldn't use. But I am not everyone.The cut out text one is new to me and is awesome! I haven't seen that tutorial anywhere! Nicely done my friend :) Your weave effect is alright. The greyscaled background thing is sort of cool. Though it is easy to figure out yourself but maybe not for everyone. Your advanced icon things are pretty well done! Nice :) I just realized you don't have much content. Though it makes my job easier it's not so cool for the visitors. Keep updating with more content as soon as you can!

Organization: 13/15
You did pretty well here, you catagorized the pages on one page which saves space but at the same time can't get a little bit overwhelming especially if you keep adding lots of content.\ But for now it will do. Why is your site.etc called "other" on your imagemap? You should say site or something cool. Personally I thought your old navigation was awesome! The party over there thing and such! But not anymore...cuz now I'm not excited about your navigation :p

Niceness: 10/10
You seem very kind and sweet.

Creativeness: 7/10
You have the same kind of content most sites have though some of your tutorials are kind of creative which is awesome! Though you should try to be more creative. I use to think that your navigation was pretty creative but now its an imagemap.

Updates: 3/5
Ok, I am sort of confused by the dates! Surely you messed up? I don't know check your dates. But it seems you update like once a week if those dates are right. Though I am not quite sure some of them are the same date again??!

Colors: 7/10
You did alright with colors though your color palletes weren't the best around the net. But thats ok. Your image in your layout and some of your blends are pretty cool. But watch your lighting effects.

Extra: 8/10
I like to visit your site, but thats been true since I found it. Though for some reason this time I didn't feel like I was at the same site I used to like. I miss the other layout and stuff. Its probably because you lost some of your uniquness.

Bonus: 4/5
I saw my link though it was a text link you linked me 1 point off for a text link :p

ADVICE: I would try to get back some of your uniqueness! It really made the whole site come together. You also need to add WAY more content. Once that happens you will need more than one page for all that content. But it will also make your site bigger and better. But do not forget Quality. You should get rid of some of your old content and create better new content. Even if this means going on a revamp so be it. You need to fix that sign link that is linked to three of those signs. [go see] Try working on more effects other than brightness/contrast of lighting. Theres lots of adjustments to make so go and get creative and experiment. Maybe update a bit more often. Though, I am not sure if you had a typo or what. So whatever. You have a typo in your "owner" page. You spelled "travelled" instead of the correct one traveled. Thanks and I still love your site but I miss the old ideas you had. :)
much love xx,
