Hi Ralph,

I only had time for a quick glance. Sorry.

Site critiqued: http://www.rencrafters.com/
Viewed with a P133, 28.8, 640x480, MSIE 4.0

First glance: index.htm scrolls at my screen res. Definite no-no. I would
prefer to see some color. But I do think the quill/mouse image is clever.

Why are the thumbnail images in GIF format? IMO, they should be JPEG.

IMO, switching backgrounds is a bad idea. It breaks from the continuity.
That said I liked the bgdogs.gif best. Also, I'd loose the
BGPROPERTIES=FIXED tag. There's something unnatural about text moving but
the background not. Think about credits after a movie. Do they put a
stationary image behind the scrolling names? It's a nifty trick at first,
but it gets old. Besides, only MSIE browsers see it.

If you're going to use TopMargin=5 LeftMargin=5, be sure to add
Marginheight="0" Marginwidth="0" for Netscape browsers.

That's all I had time for.

Regards,
Demitrius >I<
