Beliael's Bio
20, been designing since 2000ish and have seen many different trends pop up and die over the years. But what I like in a site has changed little, crucial elements like originality and quality should never go out of style.

I love simple, classic, clean layouts with good contrast between background and text so that everything is readable and well organised. However, I don't mind complex layouts that is astounding in their style and flair. Big bonus points for layouts that works in Firefox and 800x600 res.

Content is really important, I love reading about opinions and rants. Quality over quantity! Originality is a must.

Beliael Dislikes
I hate brushes, especially those grungy, swirly ones. I hate grungy, celeb layouts, although as with all layouts, it can be done well. Same goes for vector illustrations, there are a few really incredible ones but the majority is cheap trash. It's just that the majority of times, people slap on trendy styles and the layouts end up looking manufacturered. Dammit people, being able to read the text is #1 priority! I don't care about code validation, but I exit sites which I can't read in Firefox.

As for content, I hate sites with loads of meaningless content like fwds and quizzes and simplistic "adoptables" that looks like it took 2 seconds to make. Yup, I sure want to "adopt" a square/triangle/circle. Countless contentless fanlisting under the label that it's "content". Ugh. It's not.

You asked me to re-comment on your site with what I felt were problems. The issue that I was talking about is that your I-frame moves when the mouse pointer is placed over it and the scroll wheel is moved. No content is scrolling, only the frame itelf. The content does scroll, but only when you drag the bar up or down. Also, the content is pressed extremely close to the right scroll bar. I assumed this was not a design feature as it makes the section look cluttered.
