    Nice! You are using a free wordpress template to talk about design, oh the irony.

  22. @ Sean - Hmm seems you didnt read the about page and you would have seen that iam currently working on my own wordpress theme for this blog, it kinda like saying to a programmer you are using a wordpress theme oh the irony, when they could have coded the whole thing themselves. Using someone elses theme allowed me to get this blog of the ground without me even taking the time to learn how to code for wordpress other wise i would have had to put this off more months :(

  23. Думаю понравится любому!

    I think that the background is really attractive…
    The background tiles are too good…
    If you can add some more designs to increase it beauty…
