Well, I'll tell you some of the things I saw.
It's pretty nice for a default xanga. More of a layout than a skin. I really like the colors. BUT the blinkie boxes are a BIG no-no. They're so overused. And another thing, make the banner the same width as the rest of the blog (the modules and the entries together) This is just the same things they all told me when I was first starting out

I like it... The contrast from cream to green is pretty ^^
It's pretty nice for a default xanga... I've seen plenty worse. Like ChasingLife87 said, I've seen those blinkie boxes wayy~ too much. You're better off putting up something more original. I just started making skins myself, and it's not as hard as it looks... on some parts it can be hard as hell, but thats why theres' help forums here. |

i pretty much of mixed agreements with what has been said here.
doesnt look bad for a default layout. explore a little. every little thing you learn turns out with something good in the end :) |

Hm, the banner doesn't show up on my comp.
I agree about the blinky boxes, they give me a headache. Also, I don't really love the colors, but that's just my taste. Keep practicing! |
