    You could incorporate that "tutorial compiler" text and graphic into the header. The existing header is a bit bland in comparison. I actually think the bookmarking buttons would better colorized. Other than those two things I like it.

    Good Luck

    The overall layout and design is good however, I think the blog would look better
    if you added a logo to it and I think you should have more content on the landing
    page.

    1. Design
    Nice blend of color, overall easy on the eyes. The layout fits well and looks very neat and tidy.

    2. Mascot [check any inner page]
    At first I thought maybe he should have been at a computer, but since your site is about compiling tutorials I see him more as an old school scribe. Nice Work!

    3. Graphics [social bookmarking buttons]
    They look good, the colors work. My only point would be the feedburner's edges are a little rough, but not so bad I'd worry about.

    4. Content
    Great topic, as I spend a lot of time reading tutorials. I find most tutorial site packed with more junk than quality content and so far you seem to be on the right track.

    5. Do you dislike anything? [optional]
    Nothing to dislike, I'm just waiting for some more tutorials.

    Overall, A+ and I'll be checking in often to see how it grows :cool:

    Thanks for the reviews. +rep for everyone

    Very professional looking. I give design and mascot an A minus. I am unable to grade content because there is not much there yet. One thing I recommend (particularly if you are going to list tutorials on different categories) is to list all the categories on the home page . . . the user needs to place the cursor over the word "tutorials" to see the drop down category (which is fine) but it be best to list the categories on the left hand side so they are no extra steps needed to determine what tutorials are available. Good luck with it.

    yeah, you have done a great job. The site looks very nice . I love the use of graphics through out the site. The bird graphic which leads to your twitter page is very cute.

    And the tutorial about changing the eye color is very very nice. Illustrated very well with step by step instructions and pictures!
    Looking forward for some nice tutorials like these. Best of luck

    hey b4db0y, why don't you include a tutorial for removing the red eye from the photographs by using photoshop. I tried your tutorial for removing red eye from one of my pictures but it did not help that much and the eyes seem to be unrealistic :-( Anyways a very nice tutorial for changing the eye color.

    Thanks.

    Hi.

    I wanted to take some time to look on your blog.
    I see that you use agregado theme, which is a nice one, but i will suggest you to create an unuique look for your blog (i see that you are good with graphics)

    Second, this is an suggestion: add that logo , the person, also on the homepage, not only on tutorial page, and try to give it a litle collor, to come in your eyes when is opening the blog

    The twitter and rss are looking ok

    Cheers

    • Design
    The design is ok. I'd recommend you to resize the width of the blog a little bit to show up in the screen without having to scroll to see the rest of the right side.

    • Mascot [check any inner page]
    Nice work in general.

    • Graphics [social bookmarking buttons]
    Make the RSS/Twitter/Technorati color fit the layout color (However the hover is nice)

    • Content
    - Rename the blogging tips category "I don't like the 'uncategorized' default name"
    - You should be adding content everyday.
    - Make the tag line in the header of the site under the site name.
    - Add some more stuff in your sidebar.

    • Do you dislike anything? [optional]
    Nothing really..
