Hope you have some good advice and comments

Site not really FF compatible yet. If you have any tips to what is causing FF to display badly please let me know.

Cheers,

I think it was very well put together and I like the color scheme.

A couple of things I would change:

The Buttons need to have a diff color text, becuase it gets lost in the background.

The google ads in the top, should probably have a black background so it looks like it fits in.

Overall 7.5/10

I think just the opposite. The layout is confusing, and the graphics look like they were done in paint. here's a few places you could learn about graphics programs:

I advice reading up on style and design, because the simulated metal just isn't cutting it for me. The text should'nt be bold if it's small. Just look from a nerdy point of view.

Hey, i like the buttons, but how about placing them horizontally instead of vertically. Also, if u've decided to remain with verticle buttons, how about changing the text colour in them so that they are readable, i mean it's difficult to read the words coolstuff and trailers. Otherwise, i feel overall its an excellent layout and a nice template.

Not very readable good point. Thanks for the advice.
Nice tutorial site. I'm only an amatuer so excuse me for my low skills in PSP
Don't know if it's a bad thing for an ad to look a little different.
I think that upper google ad is actually quite hard to miss. And it isn't annoying like some blinking graphics to get your attention.

Not a bad header, rollovers work well, gt rid of the google ads in the header as they look silly there, the grey background looks odd and doesn`t blend into the sites look, an introduction would be nice, it comes across as rushed and ad mad at the moment, good luck.
