website

hey guys, my first post btw

im new to photoshop n webdesign first year college actually. Im currently making a website in my spare time and this is what it is so far : http://munkey.web1000.com
what do u think ??

Also if i wanted to get into graphic design and webdesign area what programs would u recomend me learning ?

Thanks for your time. :D

One complaint from me would be to get rid of that popup or have a splash page for someone to click it to open the window. The moment I saw the window popping up, I closed it, thinking it was an ad. Then I realise by looking at the blank page's source that it was your site. So ... you get the idea. I'll let the others comment bout the site

OK thanks, yeah its kinda in beta stages and i did play to make it like a spash screen but thanks fo ryour feedback :D

I can't open it...
Except if this is your site...

Well i think its a good start... but it still needs alot of work :P

I was thinking the same thing sidez was about the popup, i thought it was just another ad or something so i closed it like 3 times before i realized it was your site lol... i wouldnt make it a popup site (i hate those )

Another thing that i saw and was sure about was the <> things... are they there for a reason or are you goin to use them for somethign later, i just dont know what they are there for :P

Other then those things i think its a pretty good start :D

yeah im making those < > into forward back links. there prob gona be graphics or somthing tho i was just testing if hte code worked. and it does so :D

also ill get rid of that pop-up now and make it just built into the page.

do u think its to small or not ?

it took a whole hell of a long time for it to load for me.

yah im pretty sure its the host mate, it loaded alot quicker on my old domain

The popup sucks. I hate those. If you necessarily need a popup, make it a choice where one gets to the site, and then it says, ENTER or something with an additional info about there being a popup coming....

that's pretty simple. clean, u got a lot of space there on the right, and you should make it to a set width and height so no resizing.
and i agree that the <> should be a graphic indicating front and back...i thought it was some error in your coding. well good start.
