Okay, I just found this place, and am just learning this whole "skin" thingy, so please keep that in mind.

Also, I know it's kinda plain, but it's completely me. My friend and I made the cork board out of scratch, and added in each picture individualy, using all of the things I love.

I also did an image map, so nearly all of the pictures on the board are links to something.

I'm not sure about the colors yet.

What do you all think?

Hehe. It's a good idea, but did you use like..Photobucket to upload the pictures? It looks all scrunched, and kinda bad resolution.

Okay, I resaved the image as a jpeg, so I don't know if that will make it load faster or not.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm gonna add in the key for what picture links to what, and then I'm gonna try and make it so that the blog is included in the board.

Thanks again.

It's pretty cool but it looks like you resixed your image or something so it looks jaggy at the sides. You should put your blog in the bottom part of your board.

Yea, I'm working on putting the blog on the board. But, for some reason, it won't go on the actual board. When I align it from the top, it doesn't start counting until after the board. Like, Top: 4 makes it 4 px from the bottom of the board. Does anyone know how I can fix that?

Woo hoo! I got the blog aligned onto the cork board. I think it looks pretty good now.

Um, about the background, do you guys have any suggestions as to what I could use? I'm kinda stuck on that one.

Okay, I pretty much got rid of the white stuff around the images. All I have to work with is MS paint, so, it's not the greatest job, but it's the best I can do. Of course, the star on the bottom right is supposed to have a white outline, so that's not a mistake.

I'm trying out a cork board background, but I can't tell if I like it. Should I keep it, or stick with the black?

Really cute :D But I think the text telling people where stuff is at the top isn't needed. It kind of detracts from it, and people could figure out where to go eventually lol. And having the bg the same as the cork board makes the board look almost transparent. And I play neo too! My screen names sw0osh if ya ever wanna send me a neomail :P
