Looks like my first site. I don't like how the font is so big and it seems overbearing. I also don't like premade graphics. Can you make some yourself? If so do that, it will make it was more personal.

Thats usually the last thing to do AFTER the layout of the site has been established.

Get rid of the fucking music that starts up by itself on your contact page. you might think the music is cool but other people who visit your site may not. it also sucks bandwidth for people on slow connections and did i mention annoying? you will probably lose people submitting to your site because they get pissed off at the music that they have no choice of listening to. also you shouldnt have active links to the current page, eg if on links page you can click on links again and reload the same page again, there are alot of things that could be done to tidy it up.. im guessing you used some point n click software for the site rather than coding it yourself?

yes it is a point and click program. i A. have no idea how to code. B.don't have the spare time to learn even though i would love to.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. as for the music, i was playing w/ all the features of the site. choice of music, a joke, beause of the chorus, pun intended.

but thanks for the input
