Thanks

ok, I know it's your first site ... I've got nothing against you, how could I, I don't know you

here are some tips:

- don't overuse the bevel & emboss filter ... doesn't look cool ... same for the glow filter ... it makes it look really amateurish

- their are to much "//" & "\\" & "::" in the links on top of the iframe ... simplicity is the key ...

- get rid of those horrible colors ... purple, pink, brown yellow, bright green ... use a better colour scheme ...

- also try to make the iframe look better ... get rid of the border around it ... and use a different font than Times New Roman ....

I know it's your first site ... I'm only trying to help you

Sorry, but the black letters are hard to read, they blend with the background, stick to one or two colors, brighten it up some.

Peace!

i'm not taking it personally, trust me... the site is no way finished yet, if it were i wouldnt have posted on here... im a newbie, all i'm doing is figuring out and playing around with photoshop, everyone has to begin somewhere

i'm doing a better job with the whole color scheme, as u can tell im coordinated challenge

thanks though for the suggestions, i'm implenting them now, also i'm pretty open to take anymore suggestions and ideas at this stage

again i appreciate it

If you use the Glow layer effect, at least change the color of the glow...

Also, try to keep the text all the same for the graphics, then the same for all the page text. The title text at top looks horrid with the shadow inside the regular yellow glow color...

You could make these look a lot better by tweaking them...

Something that I personally don't like is messy graphics, I prefer something solid. While I understand download times are important, try and save the title at a slightly higher quality, a clean image looks a lot more professional.

the content screen is way too small, most people don't like having to scroll all the time.
