Hi everyone! My name's Clarose and I just joined the Gigalicous forums. I'm 20 and from the United States. I plan on transferring my website called "Lestaria" (hence my username) here from Zymic Hosting. You can find my current site here: http://lestaria.zymichost.com/. (Please keep in mind that my site is not complete by a longshot. I am still in the process of finishing the css for the layout and adding pages.)
Zymic Hosting is okay, I guess, I'm just starting out with my website so I wouldn't really know. So far, I have experienced slow loading form zymic.com itself and I just found out that some countries block all websites hosted on Zymic. New Zealand for example blocks access to Zymic so my online friends from New Zealand wouldn't be able to see my new website. Which is why I have decided to start looking for another website host. I found Gigalicous in my search for a website host and so far it looks promising. The fact that you guys actually require your members to post 10 quality posts before applying for web hosting is a great idea! The requirement definitely helps make a more friendly (and helpful!) environment which is hard to find in a web host.
On to my site: Lestaria. I play an online game called Stardoll which is a game dedicated to fashion. For those of you who already know what Stardoll is, feel free to skip to the next paragraph of this lovely introduction. For those of you who have no clue what Stardoll is, Stardoll is an online site in which you make a doll to dress up with virtual clothes. Stardoll is basically an online paperdoll site.
My hopes for Lestaria are to create a fan blog for Stardoll that shows other users looks I come up with for my doll (my avatar is actually my doll from Stardoll). This idea may sound silly to some of you, but a lot of people who play similar sites create blogs for them.
I have been doing Graphic/Web Design since I was 11 years old and I am now 20 years old. I basically taught myself basic HTML/CSS from scratch. I also took some basic Graphic and Web Design classes in college. Before I played Stardoll, I played another site called Neopets. Neopets is still around, but I no longer go on my account there. I owned a few different Neopets related websites offering Graphics (layouts for Neopets such as userlookups or gallery layouts), Guides (helpful articles on how to do things on Neopets), and even Tutorials (Graphic/Web Design related).
Long story short: I am a self-taught Graphic/Web Designer who has a passion for what I do. I love owning and managing a website which is why I have chosen to make a Stardoll blog. Maybe I will become a web designer someday, who knows? All I know now is that I enjoy doing what I do: playing Stardoll and owning a blog for it.

) I think that your site have a lot of work - redesign to do. First of all keep in mind how users react with your page. Keep user experience at the first place in your to-do list. If a user finds difficult to navigate to your site it will close it!
