Well done.  Really  gives one a feel for who you are - and what you do.  I
plan to pass the address around to a few folks who might be interested.
I enjoyed the simpleness of the basic site and the "kiddie" design.  I was
surprised to see the following under Frequently Asked Questions:
>>3)Your website doesn't look very professional...
 We liked the casual, kiddie-like design and weren't very keen on 
 the idea of multiple tables, frames and dull colours.<<

The answer is a good one, but hard to believe that is a question frequently
asked. I thought it all looked pretty good.

I was disappointed not to find many stories in the Storybook. I was also
disappointed to see it was done in the same style as the basic site. The style
looks good on both sites, though. You might consider experimenting with
Storybook  filling up more of the page, breaking out of the "down the center"
format.  I am looking forward to reading the stories once they are available.

The load time on most all pages was very short. James' pages took awhile to
load. You could possibly use thumbnails of the images on the jmspics pages to
cut that down quite a bit.

I thought navigation throughout all the sites was very easy. 
The Poetry Station could use a "show menu" link in the "copyright" frame. Once
you scroll down the menu list in the bottom frame, you have to remember that
the "back to menu" link is at the top of that list. I kind of sat there
stupidly for a few seconds. Could've just been me.. 
 Frames worked fine for me in Netscape (NN v4.3)
Dark text is _easy_  to read against it's backgrounds, the white text _ is
not._

I enjoyed the poems, especially " I'm Moving Tomorrow ~ Shing Khor" and some
others, same author.

Friendliness - definitely
