I’ve been following Kikolani.com for blog tips. It’s quite simple and I like it, it’s easy to move around the blog. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like the others here. I guess the designs are just appropriate to the subject.

This is really true. Sometimes you are just looking at the monitor screen doing nothing and do not know what to start with. These websites are really an inspiration and makes you think what are the things you can do better. I love the web designer wall because of the things it can offer plus the site is colorful and girly.
