Tried twice.

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Yep. Someone broke the internet again.

Try later.

I was able to get there, but it is nearly impossible for me to read. Blue on black is hard...green on black is nearly impossible, for me anyway.

I did notice that pages are titled "Frames Page"

Sorry arage but there are lots of things you can do to make it better.

Hi Arage -

I tried 3 more times and I still can't get in. I'm doing about 49,000 right now and it takes forever to load and tell me it is broke. You may want to try another host if people getting to your site is critical.

I agree with Richard on this - colors are hard on the eyes. Black is tough - even if site is horror.

Frames - are not the best things to use.
Scrolling on many pages.

Hope this helps
Erin

arage, the first thing I would do is brighten up the font color. Remove underlines from words that aren't hyperlinks. Then put the content in a normal page instead of frames. Make sure you give each page a meaninful name when you save them. This is all very easy to do. The hard part (for me anyway) is writing the content.

Looks like it would be a fun page to work with so I did a quick mock up. (still learning photoshop so the graphics aren't the best) http://www.kwpnfm.com/design/horror.htm
Since it is a personal page instead of a business you can go wild with things, just make sure people can read it and bookmark the content they may want to come back to. Have fun with it.

If you really like the graphic go ahead and use it. It can be improved on though. I just like to play around with things and see what I can come up with, but focus more on business things. If there is a part you like and part you don't let me know and I'll give it another go.

Read through this thread. There are lots of opinions on what to use. A lot depends on the budget, but also willingness to learn.

Photoshop Elements looks very promising for 100 bucks. Free 30 day fully functional trial available at adobe.com

I would really work on getting the basics of the page before worrying to much about the graphics.
