Why did mine get rejected and this one or any of the others that are this simple make it through???

I think this is a serious case it just didn't suite the persons taste who rejected it!

I am very very disappointed with createblog

Up until now I swore by them and always recommended this site. But now I see how they really are. This isn't supposed to be about their personal taste! its about what the users want!!!!

Oh yeah and I didn't mean that to be anything against the profile I used as an example I think it is very nice I love the simple ones

THATS WHY I MADE ONE!

Everyone loves simple layouts. We have tons of them around here, and we approve a lot of them.

Here's the difference between your's and the one that you linked and is probably a reason... if not THE reason why it was rejected... whether the thought was conscious or not by the moderator.

Your's has nothing tying the design together, and as a result, the colors clash. Next time, try adding a small banner on the top of the gray box that has something to do with lightning bolts as a start... try to limit the color scheme a little. You can resubmit it and try again after you've changed it :]

Conversely, the other layout you linked has the same theme running through it. While it's super simple it at least had the grungy-blackness theme running through the entire layout.

You need to be open to criticism... the first layouts I ever tried to submit here a long time ago were rejected... there was about 10 of them... at least. Now I have over 80. I was angry, but I learned that I'd get better. Isn't that what it's all about anyway? Just relax It'll be worth it in the long run!
