Title Now I behold thy lovely body. Version 8. Created in Photoshop CS. Best viewed at any resolution, any browser. In use since March 18, 2010. The brushes are my own. The textures are my own. The stocks are from here, here, and my own collection.

This is my webhost. Surprise!
This site looks really boring. The layout is clean and simple, but the colors are not that great and it looks like this layout took 2 minutes to make.
You're thirteen years old, yes? Well, that better not be your real name in the footer. Do you know how stupid it is for someone so young to put their real name
on the internet? You also mention in your about me the state you currently live in and where you originate from. BAD. You're basically inviting someone to find you! Please, for
your own safety, remove that information! [Note: I would have put this in Other, but I had to get the point across.]
You use grammar, bravo!
I suggest moving your dragions somewhere else. Having them in the Welcome paragraph is tacky and unecessary.
Navigation
The site is very, very easy to navigate. There are four links in the navigation bar: home, kaytlin, site info, and resources. On the sidebar one can find links to blogs she
visits often, and to latest comments.
Header
It is green. With the site's name stroked in white, a black doodle flower next to it and dots white along the bottom. It's simple, and I like simple, but I don't think that the greens she chose look good together.
I think using the light green and another color entirely would have been better.
Coding
The coding is simple. It matches the header. Different fonts are used, which is always nice. The line height is a bit excessive though, it looks to be about 16px. It's still too boring for me. I think I would
have liked it more if there was another color, like blue or pink.
She uses an external style sheet and Word Press. Though I do not use Word Press, it seems everything is in order.
Content
Resources
Mini Gradients These are for one to use on 100 X 100 icons. I like that she tells you what layer properties to try them out with. However, if someone has Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, they will know how to make
their own gradients. There aren't many too choose from here, and they can be easily made on one's own.
Patterns There are Gingham patterns and Stripes. There are three in each section, and each is seamless. The second stripe one is not stripe-like at all.
These are nice but I'm not wowed. The color choices are odd.
Brushes There are seven sets, and each one is downloaded via an imagepack, which is very considerate. They are mostly simple doodles, and are small in size. I personally wouldn't use them, but they aren't bad.
Textures
Grunge The first and the second one are the same texture, one is just inverted. I find that a little lazy, since one can invert the texture on one's own. The last one is too blurry to be considered grungy.
Light These look interesting, but the supposed "lights" are not very vivid, which is typically desired with "light" textures.
Patterned The wood one I wouldn't considered "patterned." These three are photos, and I really like the last one.
Icons There are four, they are all animated well. They can be read, at least. They are simple. There's not much diversity as there are only four.
Summary
I assume this is a personal blog site above a visitor site, as there are so few visitor resources. None of them really impressed me, either.
I have no desire to return to the site, and unless other visitors are friends, I assume they feel the same. But as I've said, I don't think this site is visitor-oriented.
Sugesstions
Remove your personal information that states which state you live in and your real name. [However, that may be a psuedo-nym in which case you do not have to remove it.]
Add more visitor content? You have very few of everything that you offer. It would appear you do not update it often, so what keeps people coming unless they are friends?
Spice up your headers and coding just a bit. There are ways to be simple, but interesting.
Make linked resources and links that lead outside of your site open in a new window.
