Very simple ;o.
Might help if you had a more complex scheme going on, and some more images to help it ^^. And some different styles in the sections done with css would be nice too.
And I've made standard layouts before, so I know what I'm talking about ;].

You could put this in your multimedia link: &vol=70, or whatever the number it is you want ^^. I'm sure that's the code, if it's not... look at `Jazmin's tutorial again ^^;.

I love the bright peppiness of the layout, and I think the song suits at least fine for now ;o. Trance or techno would work too ;].

I really like how well organized your layout is x).

I also think that you could make the friend's list seem more interesting, like making them more closed in, using opacity changes in hovering, as well as a color border around each figure. I know how to do the latter two, but you might want to ask i-oathkeeper to give you the full details~

Really love it x). 8.4/10

We all go through that in profiling sometime, so it's no worry ;o. I personally look at other people's layouts for inspiration and learn new ways to design. That might help~

For me, my strengths would have to be my ability to learn fast, whether it's in graphics or coding. I always like to have my own style (which is usually softness and elegance), and still find innovative ways to do things.

My weakness, is the lack of drive to come up with an appealingly organized layout. I'm just starting to work on that, so it'll be some time before I can actually get on a roll with it ;o.

So, I got inspired by Liixi's collage layout (and not cause she got spotlighted, I've been admiring her work for some time and am a correspondent of hers anyway). I had to pre-plan my own collage layout, planning which image was going to go where, and even then it didn't always work out ><. But things came together in the end, and I'm actually pretty proud of it ^^. I chose the theme Wizard of Oz... well, actually it sort of chose me x). I had the idea in my head for some time, before I decided I wouldn't wait any longer and decided to make it into a layout~

So I'd like ya'lls crits&comments, but first off two things:

1) Style is unique. I'd like to keep it that way.
2) Like or hate, back it up with evidence.

That's all~
Fire away ;D

No problem ;P~

I understand what you mean. Sometimes if you add too much it'll take away the simple sophistication of the profile. It takes time 'measuring out' how much should go in the profile, and what's unecessary to be included ^^. So I'm just asking you to think about it then, and judge for yourself what you should do with your profile and what you shouldn't. It's your profile, lovely as it is, and you get to choose what you get to do with it x).

*le gasp*

I just noticed you had a patch ;o.
*Runs off to patch x}*

You can choose whether you want to patch mines, I personally think it's under far par compared with yours ;3. But ah well.

Really simplistic, and also graphically appealing as well x). Only thing that doesn't go well with the profile is that the background doesn't align with the main template in IE, but it's usually difficult to accomplish that anyway. However, Liixi was able to make it work on IE and FF, so you might want to check with her how she did it ;o.

ABsolutely GORgeous.

What I love about the profile is that it has sophistication, and at the same time a sort of soft glamour and appeal that makes it unique~

The colors are and design are what make it possible. You chose the right combination of dark and velvety, obscure, dull fade, to soft and glowy colors. I love how the corners are round and sharp in certain areas, and how you arranged the content in a traditional way, yet not entirely. Such a layout deserves it's worth in comments ;P, if not far more.

How I think it needs improvement, would be the dark, blank space in the content area (excluding the comments). You can put a little soft texture that fits the dim, glowy scheme of things, that slowly fades into the background for each of those sections. And then the font color in the first and second section seems out of place, as not much of that color was used in the template itself. I would suggest a green, or a reddish-brown that same shade. I also find the right side of the main contents section to be a little empty. Maybe if you extend the greenish-bluish-teal bar down a bit and simply gradient-fade it with the background color, and add some light faded brushing (I'd suggest the stripes you did in the bright green section above the comments, only more steeped, but still facing the same direction) it could make up for that.

Overall, I think it's splendid work, and deserves a lot of praise. 9.3/10 ;3

#friends {display: none;}

display: none; goes the same for every section that you need to hide.

DEFinitely EPIC~

Will put it for use on UnthinkingMajority, once I've had all the critiques necessary (and given my twilight-obsessed friend a good shock to where a visit to the emergency room is necessary cool ).
