It's clean, organized, and easy to navigate. I want to make a simple layout, but my creativity got the best of me =_=; I like playing around with crazy colours and tools. That's who I am. But for you, it totally works. I agree with you. I realized not too long ago that I've grown up. I mean, I first entered the webdesign world when I was 12 or 13 - don't remember - and I remember being all cheerful, innocent, naive...BACK WHEN THERE WERE NO WANK AND INTERNET WARS (we see a lot of those nowdays). Well, not that I know of anyway. And I absolutely agree with you here: <i>"We’re growing up, and we realise that while designing is a fun and rewarding activity, there are still other more crucial things that demand attention."</i> You took the words out of my mouth XD I'm one of those people you've mentioned about retreating themselves from actively working on their websites. I mean, I still love to design and I still make layouts and random graphics now and then, but I only make them for my own pleasure. And I think the majority of us moved from websites to livejournal XD I still update my sites, but not once a week, like I did many years ago. As for involving myself in those internet communities, I just simply don't care anymore. I'll just let the new kids do their own thing and see what happens~ Nice layout!

I've gotten more into the simplistic stuff too... funny how that happens as you go along. I'm still as obsessed with my sites and I do miss a lot of those that have left but I don't mind meeting new people. I just work more on my site than tracking them down and meeting them...? I'm glad my tutorials helped :) They were real work to write. Takes a long time to explain everything, you know? You knew the basics so didn't need all of the explainging but I wanted it to be understandable to even the biggest beginner. And you don't HAVE to cater to IE first. It's just what I do and it was easier to explain the padding/margin issues from that context. XP *hugs* I really like the new layout :) Very very cool.

It reminds me rather of chocolate than of coffee, which I prefer (I'm not that much of a coffee fan, but I love chocolate). 2007 really did fly away: I have the feeling I accomplished a lot on the one side and nothing at all on the other. Strange, but true. I hope your brother will be alright at his new school. :) Me likes your new layout.

It occurs often that it's pretty much just natural now. Even I feel like that sometimes x( Don't worry about your brother. Imo he should be old enough to help himself xP It's sweet though, over protecting sis. xDD Yeah, totally agree with you that 2007 passed really quickly ;_; Btw, I like your new layout, especially the colours xP It’s true that quite a lot of people just abandons web designing a stuff.
