Hi,
I think the site is good, the colors are different from most but are still very nice. Navigation was quite easy, i think the only negative would be that the home page is very long & towards the bottom there is not so much content.

Great job

Before you criticise someone walk a mile in their shoes......
Then, if they don't like what you say they are 1 mile away and barefoot.

It loox great, nice colorscheme and layout.
But you have to get rid of the "What's your name'-prompt, cause it frightens visitors.
Overall: I like it.

Sorry that last Post was for adalt...So here it is again.....

Any ideas or suggetsions on how I can resolve this problem? I like to update the main page everyday. Usually with a story, jokes, etc. I have noticed that it can get very long sometimes. I have thought of trying an iframe, but actually have no idea how to set that up.

For the most part I agree with Detox.

I really had information overload. I suggest not listing the galleries, sections, goodies etc on the home page. I know they will have to click one more time - but there is just too much going on here.

I noticed that you have ipetspot.com twice on the top and internet pet spot twice on the top as well. I would put it in one spot only. I suggest working on your logo and making it stronger. That font doesn't seem to be working. The kitty graphics are also difficult to see.

I would get rid of the black too. It just isn't working for your site. Too dark. When I think of animals I think of bright and happy. Check out other pet sites to see what others are doing:
petsmart.com
iams.com
inthecompanyofdogs.com
pet-products.com
petco.com

Now you don't have to do anything exactly like theirs - but some of these are successful businesses and they might be doing something right.

The one last thing I would do is line up your tables. That would give it a more polished look.

Overall you have some great information and you are on the right track!

I think a people and there pets posting page would do well with your site theme! The thing i like about the joke part of your site is that in the reading of the joke i had to view the right and left links you had posted. Great job.

Thank You for the reviews. I happy that when I get negative critiques just as much as I am happy when I get postive critiques. Being only a 19yr old student I am expected to make errors, but I am also expected to learn how to fis them.
You can only learn from your mistakes.

Thank You All

Very Very Verrry nice job!
One of the better designs i've seen on TWF
Very easy to navigate
I love the colors, easy on the eyes.
The ONE thing I don't like is: Near the top, it says to search on the right, but it's further down on the right. Not a big problem, but a bit confusing
Great graphics, nice colors, good jokes(Smiling) and a GREAT job done
Well done!
