Well, here goes.
My site is not completely up yet. My previous host went down and I got approved
here. I have a basic package and have applied for and been approved for an
upgrade, but haven't had time to get everything in order to upload.
Am revamping some of my pages, and that will take time. Give me an idea
what you thing of what I do have up, will you please? I have taught myself
html, so don't be too cruel on the negative comments. Suggestions will be
appreciated. I have reduced the dpi to 72 on my graphics and have
compressed what I could of my jpg files to decrease load time.
However, some pages have a lot to load and will take extra time.
I am having some issues with graphics on my site not linking for some
people. This seems to happen Primarily for people who are outside the USA.
If you experience this, PLEASE let me know.

I'm not too sure that I'd call you an amateur, because you are really good. It nice to see some of the quality sites that look like they were made by real people. Since your's is so nice, and has lots of great stuff in it for people, it's an excellent addition to the web, as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, as far as amateurs go, I'd have to say that you are one of the best  Way to go! By the way - I'm up in Canada, and you're graphics all seemed to be showing up fine for me.

No offence Mich but i saw your home page and was not very satisfied with the whole set up.  By the way why not try and change the back ground? This would make it much better

Thats pretty nice. Id say maybe you should make the "enter site" button a bit bigger and more noticable on the 1st page.

I like the layout of your site, being it is a graphics site it should have a lot of graphics on show and I think you have done this successfully. One little thing I'd like to see is some sort of 'mouseover' effect on your text links. It's personal thing I guess, but I like to see something happen when I hover over a link. I think you should investigate the world of 'Cascading Style Sheets', these will help you a lot in the layout and formatting of your site. Overall a nice job. By the way, if you're interested my site has a free banner rotation service for graphics related sites like yours. The banners are averaging 1500+ views a month, which can only help to promote your site. If you want to accept the offer, go to http://www.mudmall.com and click on the 'Banner Accounts' link.

Seems I goofed by putting both sites in my signature. Now I don't know which site you reviewed. I meant to have you review:

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. Good idea. Will work on it after I get back from vacation. Need to take a rest from the cold weather here in Mich.QUOTE I think you should investigate the world of 'Cascading Style Sheets', these will help you a lot in the layout and formatting of your site.
Am just starting to toy with css. Be patient with me and I will coming into the 21st century here soon. Teaching myself simple html has been an adventure. Getting lots of help from people like you on here. QUOTE By the way, if you're interested my site has a free banner rotation service for graphics related sites like yours. Thank you for this kind offer. I didn't think my site was worthy. I may take you up on this. Do you charge for this? I don't have any trouble linking back to your site with a small graphic button. Do you require it be put in a specific place?
BTW I love your site!!!!! Took a look the other day and was really impressed.

When I first saw your site the colours were not co ordinating and nothing matched and I sort of disliked. But when I stayed for a big longer and the whole design sunk in.. I felt sort of welcomed and i realised it had a really nice homely and personal feel to it. I guess your website has sort of shown YOU in it. It's not one of those amazingly designed and sleek websites but it's original and really pretty. You have lots of cool content and I like the sort of textures on each page.. it stands out  Plus all the images work well for me. There are quite a few things on your site you should change... but I don't think you should change them because your site is a personal one you should design it how you feel and how you like it. You should be proud of what you've produced And my gosh do you have a lot of awards!

Yes, it is configured by percentage, so it will resize down to 640 with if necessary.
I assume you mean in the index at the bottom. I have played with it for a while and decided this fits the best. If you are having trouble reading it you can go to the top of IE where it says View, scroll down to Text Size, and pick a larger size. You will see what I mean about the fit. Putting a new index on every page will take some time and I am busy right now trying to get the site completely up.

Match the colors Thats a smart ideal! Good Job :-D not many would have thought about that!Yeah i ment all of the links at the bottom all of the pink ones..i raised the font to read it :-D..and thats right i just now noticed your not using PHP..maybe sometime you could switch over to php i have seen a great few php tutorials on here i think maybe it was somewhere else.if not i will post one and post a link here.Harsher? lol how could they be harsher it is a good site, its prolly better than mine (which i havent even finished yet) but there is some excelent graphics on there, i might use a few sometime, i bookmarked it!ok, and now somthing that i have found with one of the pages on this page HERE on the top under tha banner it says FREE WEB SETS FOR YOUR SITE but it cant be seen >_< jsut thought id let ya know, and now ive been lookng through allot of them and it is the same on all of them...like i said earlyer i would highly advise switching to a php site, all you have to do is edit one file and ALL of your pages that have the indicated script will put the updated stuff in...lol neways its still an excelent site!

racism, sexism, politics, religion, and other such somewhat hot topics. The website itself is
intended to be designed similarly to a to an older poster or advertisement, and I think it shows
with the way that I depicted the colors, shapes and various other images. The navigation buttons
