i don't have any comments on this one

it looks nice

the header image looks very nice.
but at around 50kb, it takes a long time to load on dial up.
and until it loads there appears a large blank space that can give a wrong impression about the site.

Hi there. The general layout and images is very impressive. Very clean, no clutter. Was it a template or did you code it?

Thanks very much for the comments guys, its really appreciated... at least you can guys can understand the amount of time and effort a website takes to get off its feet.

I used Wordpress 2.0 and the template k2 (www.getk2.com) then customised it a little

just a little bit slow to load on my end also, but it's nice

Very good. My only suggestion would be to change the font of the word "Flicker" just cause when glanced over the l and i kinda form together and it looks like a dirty word for a second. But that's a very minor detail on a very nice site

Very nice, I think at the moment it's already has a professional and youthfull appearance. I like how the banner image changes when you go to other sections of the site, so for each section you could have a different image at the moment there are 2 from what i can see.

Landscape is so beautiful,I like it so much!!!
I am Chinese,so I can't expression my idea clear.

All in all,your site is very nice.
I like the style,the content and the color.

Cheer

“To learn another language to to gain another soul.” ---agree!

English is a very nice language,but I am very poor in it.I'll study it all along.

Looks nice and simply, but it also looks like a typical blog layout, try to be more creative

otherwise it looks great

It's quite a nice site if a little similar to other blogs. The logo is nice (if a little too large) although the white writing and navigation bar are hard to read. Not bad at all for a blog.

Thanks for the review, yeah Im looking at the different options on how to fix the hard to read writing. Im struggling picking a colour
