WOW! There's another wow coming but I'll get the technical niggles out the way first.It would be a good idea to give all your pages titles. "New page 1" is so passé eg: on your writings page. OK I'll admit it I'm male and I'll be 41 next month so the eyesight isn't what it used to be. I found the very small font on a darkish background hard to read. As I looked at it using opera I cheated and went into user mode as well as document mode. That way I could read your content as well as appreciating the design. Any blank pages - give your vistors something to look at - even a message "like nothing here yet, and tell 'em how to close the window ..." Oh but *please* not some tacky little under construction thingy ... there's so much design talent shown here that it'd be an awful shame to muck it up .... hmmmm "muck it up" actually that's a typographical error in the same vein as Dorothy Parker's comment about "ducking for apples at halloween was" but I'll leave it be just in case someone gets annoyed with me. The poems (this is the 2nd wow) I'll have to start by telling you that I grew up speaking several languages. Although I work and think in English it isn't a language in which I *feel.* That being said your poetry I found very moving. The tenderness of Poem 3. The image of the milk carton in poem 9, the love in poem 10, and I haven't been able to get the idea of teardrops as little snowflakes out of my mind since I read it .... Please make those easier to read - black on dark grey doesn't do them justice and they deserve to be read. Good site - great talent - a little rough around the edges in one or two places. Maybe you should make the navigation a bit more consistent by having it or something like it everywhere rather than opening new windows. I hope you promote this site - it deserves to be known about - http://www.selfpromotion.com has a great service and lots of good advice. I hope this was of use and wish you a long and satisfying life. ------------------ Hope this helps :-) Gorilla aka Mark Saunders http://www.computerdriving.com Email Address: marksaunders@techie.com ======= "Gotcha!"
