Review my new layout...

I can't get the feel right. What do you think? I need to figure out how to take down the splash page though.

well, I really like the idea, but here are some things I think you could do to improve the realism (which will greatly improve the feel).

put a wooden frame around the cork board.

give the paper some texture (a search of google can find you some good paper textures you can use). here's a tutorial on making post it notes, maybe it will help Design a pad of Post-it Notes | Nifty Tutorials

the paper notes you have with the curl in the corner have the cork board not fit the background cork board. it's not too noticible if you don't look to close, but I'd say it'd look better it you just left out the page curl.

also, maybe the things that aren't post it notes should have thumb tacks to add to the realism.

Good luck with your site, you're really off to a good start, though I also think you should remove the splash page. I think what you need to do is set your blog address to http://igirlnano.com/ in your wordpress settings and then move the file i-Girl Nano to http://igirlnano.com/index.php

If you've got any other questions, post back here or PM me and I'll be happy to help

and also if you open some link on that page for example this one
Books
you can see that the middle part of the page is pulled up on the header, you should fix that.

I like the idea! Maybe if you added some more effects you would like it better? The header on the mainpage looks good, but I think you should add some more photos too it and fill it up to look more interesting!

I reviewed this layout a couple of weeks ago on hostbidder as 10jamest and I stand by what I said then.
