first impression

Looks cute! The graphic may be a little a.d.d., but still cute!

They graphic against the background looks too immediate, and the graphic being a solid rectangle isntead of incorporating the divs somehow looks as if the layout lacks fluidity.

graphic

The graphic is well made and of high quality! The site name can be easily read in a nice font. Bold colors have been used, brushes, and various images, too.

I love that light blue color!

I don't understand what this graphic is supposed to be or represent. I don't see a theme or anything at all, so... it makes me wonder. It is nice though.

coding

Nice, easy on the eyes, very readable, different fonts, overall: good job!

The use of more colors would have looked a bit nicer. Red, yellow, orange, gold... there are so many options in that graphic.

content

Visitor content includes designs, wallpapers, and icons.

designs;
More appropriately "layouts" if you ask me.

I love the graphic for the My infinite fear layout. It's great! The CSS is cute, too, and matches wondefully.

Layout titles should be like this: My Infinite Fear, not My infinite fear. Capitolizing the firs letter is correct, believe it or not.

The Blown Away layout is very nice, too.

I don't care for the graphics in the others.

wallpapers;
They come in several resolutions, which is marvelous for visitors.

A Step Closer to Darkness is incredible.

The simplicity of Forever Dream is great.

icons;
Nice! These are icons, everyone! Time has been put into them, they're cool, inspiring, intriguing, and interesting. They are not lousy cropped pictures with no talent showing.

Superb.

navigation

I hate the navigation of this site. While it's creative, I do admit, being on the side and going vertically and reading vertically, I don't like the set up. It would be better if the content sections were listed first. The text should be read horizontally, in my opinion, mainly because the links stretch so far down on the page. It's a little annoying to scroll down so far just to get to links.

Links include home, about, t.ou., faq, resources, linkage in&out, contact, designs, wallpaper, and icons.

Resources has a nice sorted listed of credits. Yay. (Not sarcasm.)

overall

This site is nice! The site shows a lot of creativity and originality, Ruolin isn't afraid to take "risks" and try new things, and it looks like most of the time it works out!

Clearing up the capitolization thing would be an easy improvement. Also, I think more site content should be added for visitors! More of the current sections, obviously, but also new sections.
