I liked it, but keep in mind the importance of layout. 1)not everyone is going to know what they're opening when they click on a link. 2) People don't liek scrolling. That's a fact. Internet users don't like scrolling if they don't have too.The cartoon occupies the entire top portion of the page, meaning that viewers have to scroll to get to content of the page.

The Good: You used center alingment without making the page feel empty.
The Bad: Anyone with a smaller display is only going to see the upper-left to mid section of the page. That can get inconvient.
The writing is also very small, and the amount of contrast in the pic makes it very difficult to read the words.

The skin is bold, certainly. But there's a problem when I previewed it. The post itself overhangs your red background a lot. I also feel the pic is too large. I don't think it should overshdow the area where you entry should be, or you subtract from it's functionality.

On mozilla the scroll bar are all slightly skewed. They float down and to the side. The little box doesn't fit wuite right into the far right scroll box. Just letting you know.

I don't actually want to rate your skin... but I do want to inform you that the skin of mine which you critiqued is an IMAGELESS SKIN, hence I cannot improve the "image quality".
As to, get some creativity, I could say the same. It doesn't take a creative genius to use a celebrity photo to make a blog skins.
All of my images are orignial. Can you say the same? Oh, wait. We already know the answer to that don't we?

I liked the skin. I think you did a fine job.

I absolutely loved your skin. For an imageless skin it remains interesting, which I think is wonderful. I based a more feminine version called Baby Doll Pink off your skin. Much props!

much much better then many of the ones I've seen that use multiple scroll bars. Very good.

Copied? moi? No, unlike you I used my own art not stock photos of celebrities. See the dif?
