"I want to start by saying how much I love your blog. I'm a huge skull fan for sure - tats and everything - but you are sooo damn talented and that's what makes your blog so great! The set up is beautiful and easy to read too.
Just one complaint. You seem to feel that you must preface your description of every submission with a complimentary adjective - EVERY one! To wit:
terrific
awesome
appropriate
keen
great
cool
cute
terrific
wonderful
lovely
cute
lovely
spiffy
wicked
nifty
wonderful
keen
amusingly appropriate
terrific
awesome
great
and excellent.
That's all from the last group. It therefore becomes impossible to read the descriptions as they feel forced. You thank submitters in the beginning before the posts and they know you're grateful - please cut down the flowery speech:)
That said - I still love your blog!"

Awesome! Thanks for showcasing Mr. Bones!
wow, thanks for showing it =]
A superlative collection!
So I see this is no longer your blog, so I guess you must watch your use of adjetives in here, apparently they're upsetting to readers eyes!
And also your skulls sometimes look too much like...skulls.....very upsetting.
That animation is fab.
