im a newb and i would like to know what i need to change.

thx

For starters don't make a 86k splash image. Second, don't make a splash image. They are pointless, and only another click that the user has to make in order to see anything of any value. But as far as splash pages go, it's ok. I don't see what the little black things are for on the bottom. They look like buttons, but they aren't.

i really like the design itself, but i can't figure out any destructive about it... it looks to sweet to be destructive.
or is this on of those ninja-like-destructors: look sweet but stab you in the back?!!
