FAQ

Q: How often will you make more layouts?

A: It really depends on how busy I am with school and other things. Generally about 5 new layouts every week. But sometimes I can get into a real layout-making frenzy and make 4 or 5 a day.

Q: Will you teach me how to make layouts?

A: Nope. I'm sorry, but I honestly don't have the time. You really have to experiment a ton and practice to get good.

Q: Will you make me a layout?

If you're specific enough, sure. Just really, really be detailed. I'd rather not be forced to be creative and come up with things myself. Email me with all the details at sunnysweetkajal@msn.com. It will take about a week to make, maybe less, maybe more. If I say that I won't make you a layout, it's probably because I don't have the skills. To, as an example, image map or something. Or if your layout idea is completely awful - like a picture of George Bush with a heart around it or something. Blech.

Q: Can I comment on your layouts or icons?

A: Yeah, I would really like it. Please avoid commenting on my personal Xanga, but feel free to on the BBL page (the one you're on) or any one of the layout preview pages.

Q: If I take a layout, do I have to subscribe?

A: I would love you if you did. I mean, I'm not going to go around bashing people over the head for not subscribing, but I would really appreciate it. A comment on my Xanga saying that you took one of my layouts would also really make my day.

Q: Can I affiliate with you?

A: Maybe. I'll check out your site, see if it's the type of thing I want to be affiliated with. I'll comment on your Xanga with an answer pretty quickly, whether it be yes or no.

Q: There's something wrong with one of your layouts - can I ask you to fix it?

A: I would love if you told me that there was something "wrong" with one of my layouts, whether it be text unreadability in spots or just weird colors that don't fit in with the scheme on ceratin things. Just comment and I'll change it ASAP. Most likely I just looked over something.

Q: Tell me about your icons. Can I get a custom icon made for myself?

A: All of my unanimated icons I made in 6th grade, and all my animated icons I made in 7th grade. I don't make icons regularly. You're free to use them in any way you want, just don't take credit for them yourself or anthing. If you have an icon site and want to include them, that's fine, but just put a link back to my layout site.

You can get an icon made, as long as it's unanimated. My Animation Shop broke, so I'm screwed as far as animated icons go. Just email me the picture you want in the icon, the text you want, the size (in pixels), and anything else you think I need to know.

Q:Why the heck do you make so many layouts??!

A: Layout making is fun, I suppose. And I was so, so sick of seeing gazillions of layout sites with layouts that were something like "OMG I Love Simple Plan So Punk Rock" or "Playboy Bunny" or some sort of moody "Why did you break up with me?" crap.
