Here's a new layout i made today: These Words

I don't really like the background. It looks very bold in color and pixeled.

k. but overall, without picking out certain detail, how do you feel about it?

The image is nice. I dont like the background either, though. With a different background I'm sure it'll look better. Something that doesnt take the viewer's attention away from the actual image.

I like the overall design of the xanga, but i see where everyone is comign from with the background. The background looks very "hard" and pixelated. One thing that im wondering, did you put vertical stripes as the background because her shirt has vertical stripes?
