Ok, not to be critical, but constructive....

Why all the votes for smrkangl when their page doesnt involve much work, it is very basic, and it doesn't even display correctly on internet explorer or firefox. I mean it lacks a lot of design, and it would almost be good if it actually displayed right. But I've tried 3 different browsers on 3 different computers and it just doesn't display right at all.

My site displays right on all computers and has more design and custom graphics put into it than any site I have ever seen on here, and I dont get many votes.

I am not bragging I am just confused

I mean their xanga is nice, but in a contest for design shouldnt design flaws as major as theirs cause people not to vote.

Just my opinion, to which I'm entitled.

I displays just fine on IE - maybe it's your resolution. I'll check FF as soon as I get home.

We don't have to justify who and why we voted. However, I will humor you.

1. Believe it or not - that graphic is hard to create.
2. I like the color coordination, and the design is very unique. That does require a lot of work! I would know - that kind of design and coding can take a while.
3. It has an "airy" feel to it, and it shows great artistic flair.
4. The quotes are great too.

I like yours, but the colorfulness of smrkangl's is what attracts me. I really don't personally prefer dark layouts.
I wouldn't ask these questions - you are complaining, and that's not attractive at all. Combined with the fact that you posted your url again, blatantly, (you could have just said "Thanks for the votes" or something like that), you are now complaining about the lack of votes for you, and the layout is the same as if was for the last Xanga of the Month contest... well you do the math. But that is just me.
