Hmmm- I like it, but it's weird.

I don't think a webmasters site should be so dark in color. You might want to make the background white to make it more "colorful."

I like the image flips, but again, they are sorta dark in color. You might also want to pre-load images so it loades faster when you put your mouse overtop.

Of course I would not recommend i-frames, because they don't work in Netscape at all, and are leaving out a large chunk of your maybe-audience.

Overall it's not bad, but it could be much better...

Nice and simple! Grandmaster have you been demoted? I was sure you were a moderator! I Must be going loopy! Hey Kidjustino! I don't agree that the background should be white though I think it looks good black. In fact I seem to remember having this discussion with you before! White is painfull to the eyes it is simply too bright! If it's paper its ok but a CRT makes your eyes diluted.

I think that even though your site looks good I think maybe just a little more colour would not go amiss. Maybe add some more colour to the banner and the 3K logo! Even just a small colour adjustment to the chalky background!

Thats it!

I agree that more colour would be good - maybe use more of that blue you've got for the mouseovers.

I also think it would be good if you could make your layout expand for bigger resolutions.

One more thing - you need to do something about your writing style and grammar. That introductory paragraph is just painful to read. Is this a directory or are you writing your own articles? If it's the former I guess you don't have to worry too much about writing.

All I found were broken links. Iframe or not, page not found was all I got

You could easily build the exact same page without the iFrame. Why use it?

That blue and black are really great! I like the hover a lot. And I agree that some of that blue would be great dispersed throughout the page more.

I don't like how the title/logo are split up into two different boxes. If it's Webmaster3K, than put it all together. I also think that the logo doesn't stand out enough.

I think an explanation of the site is good to have, but I think that you need a really brief subhead..."Bringing webmasters and surfers together" (I don't know, but you get the jist)

Good job overall.

VY22- No, I havn't been demoted. I'll agree with VY, I think there are too many white site son the net, and white is bright.
Megs- Any idea of how i could make my nav bar expand? I don't really want to go threw DHTML. But I will if I have too. The Writing on the front page, is just so you guys can see what it might look like.
AndyB- Links are just there so I have a standard of what I'm going to have my pages named.
Malte- Maybe I will get rid of IFrames, but at the time, i thoguht it would be easy to update with IFrames.
Soundtank- Links are just there for , lets say, looks.
Brooke- I will make the Webmaster3K logo together, and maybe some extended mouseovers in the box on the right, Have it mouseover into a preview of something.

Thanks for your help.

Your page is fairly dark and does not make a person feel very welcome.
