Heartless Wind

First Impression: My first impression to tell you the truth isn't too great. In my opinion the layout looks a little bit messy and I'm not crazy about the background. I'm also not crazy about the layout picture but this isn't my biggest concern. I scrolled down a bit and saw that the e-refferer list is very big. Can't you change the settings so it only displays 10 or 20 refferers. I think if you do this it would look a bit more proffesional.

Content: First I looked at your articles and they are good. I especially like the one about religion but I can't say there's anything wrong with the gaydar one. Then I went to see the icons and for the most part I didn't think too highly of them. Some of them aren't 100x100 and I find some of them not so good quality. But when I look carefully I can see some good ones. So what I think is that you should just get rid of some that you think aren't so great and keep the good ones. The button bases are alright, the ones with just one colour I don't see much point in so those should maybe go. I think the mini blends might be better just on the page instead of having a link to them in a new window. The photography is okay, I think that first you should take away the blue border and I find it's better to make thumbnail pictures that link to the real one because this reduces the loading time. I also find the photography is mostly clouds and snow so I would like to see a bit more variety. Banners are alright, I think you should have a few sizes to stick to and say what sizes they are. Some of the layouts are pretty good and here I think you should do a little layout clean up because there are some that I don't think represent your current graphic making skills. Your tutorials are pretty good and you have a lot so good job :)

Layout/Coding: Let's start with the layout. In my opinion it seems as though you were aiming for simple but didn't quite make it. I can't read the text on the top of the picture and it just doesn't say wow to me. Although by now I'm starting to get used to your layout and style. I think your coding is more of your strong suit so good job. It's not only readable and good but it's original! And I'm typing that with a lot of happiness because so many sites copy and that would be no good. So good job :)

Updates/Blog: You blog often which is very good! And the blogs are also interesting and well said with no or little grammar mistakes. It seems as though you update quite often which is good so congrats here.

Conclusion: I think you have a pretty good site and I'm starting to think more highly of your site now that I've gotten used to it. The main thing I think you should focus on is taking away content that isn't as good as you are now. Especially for the icons and layouts pages. Besides this I think you have very nice blogs and coding. I also think you should try to only display 10 - 20 refferers if it's possible. I also see when I went around your website that you have a lot of people loving your site and commenting so I think your site is quite popular and could be even better.
