Hey, Chris.

My first question is Why do you call the page Snowy Mountain? I have to
tell you that there is nothing about the design of the page that says
"snowy mountain" to me. A page's title and overall design usually go
together in some way. I'm afraid yours doesn't.  8-(

In my opinion, beginners should stay away from using dark backgrounds and
multi-colored text. That is a design combination that is hard to get right,
even by experienced page designers.

On your images page you remind everyone that the Rage graphics are
copyrighted. That's good. However, do *you* have permission to use them?
That statement at the bottom of your home page does not relieve you of your
legal obligation to get permission before using them.

I filled out your Christmas survey... Great fun!

Well, you said to be brutal, so I was. I hope some of my comments are helpful.
