Hello, Don

A few comments:

1. It was very dark. I didn't like the dark backgrounds; grey text on 
the greenish-yellow and black background image was hard to read. The 
people to people page was hard on my eyes because it mixed pink and 
grey text with a black background.

2. Who are you: alias or stormfinder? I also never saw a real name 
anywhere.

3. Check your spelling, grammar and punctuation. A very convenient 
way to do this is to finish your text, and then copy it into your 
word processor and then run the word processor's spell and grammar 
check. You'll just need to look closely at the punctuation yourself. 
Be careful of your and you're (you are).

4. Validate your pages. For more information check out 
http://www.hwg.org/resources/useful.html#2.0 .

5. The vertical graphic (Alias's Poetry) linked back to the same 
page.

6. On the poetry page: in the right most cell, the first line of text 
broke funny because of your <br> command. ("Welcome ... your" was on 
one line, "visit" was on line 2 by itself, "and ..." was on line 3.

7. On your home page, it seemed funny to have two of your main links 
to be guest book related. I'd suggest combining them into one main 
link.

Viewed/surfed with:  Netscape Navigator 3.0 Gold; 28.8 modem; Windows 
95; 800x600x256 colors; java and javascript turned off.

I hope that helps. Good luck. Michael
