Whoa, the header banner is really brilliant. I like it alot, good job

But the navigation buttons are a little hard to read, changing the font to something more readable would be more user friendly

But overall, great job!

I remember your site, I think

Big improvement btw. You've limited my critisms down to three:

1. The Search Facility

"what do you seek?" should be changed to "Search Web" and above the search box. The search button should have the value Go not be blank.

2. Images

Love your use of them but takes ages to load on a 56k modem. Save them in the compressed jpg format not gifs. The forum image in the middle HAS TO GO. What happened to text? Maybe you should include a short introduction about yours site. That costs visitors. I just found out that that alt="" tag on the image linking to trap17 down the left column reads Trai17.com not Trap17.com

3. Java Applets

You've cut down on the java applets but you should get rid of them all. Use javascript when possible instead. There's tonnes of javascript countdown scripts!

------------------------------

The good parts...

1. Design

You've made your design 1000% better. Well done.

2. Images

Good use of images keeps visitors in and you've a good use of images.

3. Java Applets

Any cut-downs good

A massive improvement well done.

I think I remember your previous site -- based your improvements on that

    I've redesigned my website - from graphics to the CSS layouting. I was planning on a website
    that would look personal not commercial, with a home-cooked feel. I ended up with a pretty simple
    and straightforward design. I'm afraid it looks a bit packaged now, kinda like what you'd
    get with ready-made blogs out there. I'm making a layout number 3 but I'm sticking with this
    one for a while if I get not-too-terrible reviews, heehee. Anyways, I feel like I'm writing my

    using an actual Content Management System, I instead chose to use a CMS-style Mo...

    out on the site). It is a good opportunity for Flemings who have moved abroad (like me), or
    foreigners of Flemish origin, who still feel a bond with the land of their ancestors, or even for
    foreigners who want to get to know Flanders better (as it is quite popular with tourists and well
    worth a visit). It also gives the Flemings at home some useful information and current news...
