Hi Scott,

I viewed with w95, 800x600res, mills of colours, netscape 4.08

Here are my thoughts:

The first thing I noticed was a border around the enter graphic on the =
first page.  That can easily be solved by a border=3D"0" inside your =
<img> tag.  Your logo.gif is a too large for a web page - both in =
physical size and in K size, you'll need to reduce it.

On the main page - your navigation wording is slightly cut off on the =
right - a solution would be to make the arrows smaller or rework it a =
bit.  Your 'scott online' background on my resolution caused me to only =
see half the wording.  not a bad effect if this is what you were going =
for, however on a smaller res 640x480 you wouldn't see it at all. =20

Your fonts didn't seem consistent to me.  Sometimes you used courier new =
and other times, arial.  And the sizes were also not consistent, they =
were far too large on your 'about me' section.

I think this page shows promise but needs some work before it will 'blow =
your friends' (although I haven't really seen there pages so how do I =
know!). =20

For a brilliant page you've got to cater for all resolutions and keep =
consistent throughout.  I'm sure you'll get there in the end

cheers

months ago, I haven't released any other sites, but I have many projects =

request severe Critiqeing (sp),
    please help me out,
    and be sure to GIVE any comments that you feel are needed, I don't =
care, I thrive on criticizm.
    I really, really, really hope that you all can help me out, because =
I want this to blow my friends (who think the're better than me) away.
