background information
site: Tempting Illusions
owner: Munchie
reviewed: October 12th, 2008screen shot
Munchie?
It's bland and looks like it took half a minute to make. Maybe longer depending on how quickly "Munchie" can type out her site name.
The CSS isn't that bad, it's just not brilliant.
Everything can be easily read though.
...
backgrounds;
These are nice, but how stupid does Munchie think people are? Anyone could make these.
blank banners;
PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN. I'M SICK OF SEEING BLANK THIS AND BLANK THAT.
blank userbars;
Please see above.
brushes;
Some of these are nice, some look utterly stupid. I wish they were all previewed in the same color. Having them
in different colors looks unorganized.
colour palettes;
Nice, nice!
fonts;
What's wrong with people? Munchie did not make these. SHE DOESN'T LINK US TO THE SITES FROM WHICH SHE TOOK THEM, EITHER.
They're not hers!
fractals;
What the heck would someone use these for?
glitter fills;
Cheap and tacky.
flitter letter sets;
Please see above.
gradients;
What an utter waste of Munchie's time, my time, and space.
patterns;
Oh, my gosh! Some of these are actually nice! Some are pixalated though and should be deleted.
pixel letters;
Cute...
renders;
On their page they're called PSDs though. Who would use these?
smilies;
Very generic. They're just the same set over and over in different colors.
textures;
Are these even textures?
website layout templates;
Uhm. The hell? Please, for the love of god, put a blurb along the top saying how the heck someone would use these. I mean really...
articles;
I'm not reading these. I hate reading articles that have been put int he content section. They should be in their own section.
People aren't going to hop from site to site hoping that they can read an article by the owner.
recycle bin;
So, basically, visitors can take these graphics for free. Usage of these graphics do not require a link back... should be
Usage of these graphics does not required a link back...
glitter generator;
Interesting idea! I hate glitter.
userlookup generator;
I'm pretty sure userlookup is NOT one word. Oh how intersting.
Shop layout generator;
This is pretty cool, too... but it seems like Munchie's practically begging for people to steal her codes.
tutorials;
Available for paint shop pro, animation shop, adobe photoshop, gimp, and other programs and website tutorials.
A lot of these seem really helpful! They're easy to follow and include screen shots along the way.
designs;
It would be so much smarter to name these layouts. Two or three of these are nice. the graphics are generally boring
Though the CSS matches the graphic in each layout, the CSS is, overall, boring.
services;
Include advertising, cutenews hosting, fanupdate hosting, and subdomain/domain hosting.
hosting;
Though it's already been mentioned in services... Oh god. How superfluous that she made a subdomain just
for her hosting rules and what not.
stock photos;
Why aren't these linked before hosting and services?
These don't look very helpful. I'm not going in depth though because they have their own site and I only stay on the site's URL.
I don't like how the hosting link and stock photos take you to a whole new URL/site/subdomain.
On the site page it's just stupid to link to the site's cpanel and cutenews. Just put them in your favorites.
A list of credits can be found off of the site page, though it's not very long.
Those problems can be easily fixed by deleting said content! Then Munchie can focus on the useful, interesting, good content.
The credits list is still a little shady to me for how short it is.
At least on the credits list she links us to DaFont, though she should just link us right on her fonts page, which she should just delete because she didn't make any of those fonts anyway.
More time on her work.
This cbox is for visitors to comment about the sites that have been reviewed. It is not for visitors' complaints, defending of friends, telling me how to review sites, or for juding my site. If you want to do one of those listed above, feel free to e-mail me at skylineillusions@yahoo.com which is the site e-mail that I check frequently; I don't feel as if there is a need for any one to e-mail me over these reviews, though. I check this cbox about once every two weeks, usually only if one of my friends says "Go look at that cbox!"
