Brian,
Please review another site, you will then get a better response to this post, thanks.
- nice logo, maybe a bit left heavy though.
- very neat, orderly design
- lacks in pictures in my opinion
- a lot of 404 errors at the momment...

Hello Brian,
I like the logo, that is very good, but i think the colors shoould be changed a little bit, maybe some images with rollovers or something.

Thanks... I will see if I can do some of that. The reason that there are 404 errors is because not all of the site is completed yet, although it will be shortly. What color scheme would you recommend?

Hi Brian,
Looks like I have another great resource site to add to my bookmarks. You asked what colors you would add. I think you should stick with primary colors since you already have red and blue. I agree with JP that you should add some pictures, the one you have on your "web design tips and tricks" page is very sharp, maybe use that effect on a picture or two to highlight your home page?
last thing, I noticed the two bottom links (site credits, and help)are NOT in bold like the others. I would make them all match.
Take care,

Thanks, Carolyn. I will make those links bold and experiment with some other color combinations. Also, I'll see if I can find some pictures that would fit well in the front page. Ahh.. Thankfully I downloaded "WinEasy" so I won't have to go in and manually make all those changes .

Ok, I will continue this once I've made the changes...
Anyway, WinEasy is a program which searches for files by extension within a dir or subdirectory and replaces text. For example, if I had a link in 100 files <A HREF="bad.html"> I could change it easily to <A HREF="good.html"> More details here:

Brian,
WinEasy? Have not heard of it? Care to give me a short overview...

Feel free to come back and continue this thread when you have made some changes.
