verymad.gif The reason i am disappointed is simple...

The rejected my profile upload because they say it is to plain! HELLO!!
This is a pic of mine

and the lightning bolts move across the screen

Ok, yes it is simple but WTF IS THIS????

http://www.createblog.com/layouts/preview.php?id=31481


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!
Reason for edit: posts merged. please use the edit button. also please thumb large images -nat

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 _smile.gif It'll be worth it in the long run!

You're welcome _smile.gif I also have another suggestion - if you aren't sure if your layout will be accepted or rejected.. or if you just want some more critique, post a topic in the Showcase Booth and allow other members to give you their thoughts. That way you have created the best possible layout for your circumstances when you do finally submit it for review.

Lots of members do that :]
