okay, let's start.
Takes too long to load. The average dumwitted internet user will be bored out and quit your site if it doesn't load fast enough! The max uploading should be 20 seconds. This site is taking 2 minutes and still uploading. Now i will wait for the site to load so i can carry on.......
Ok seriously make it load less! i have been waiting 4 minutes with 10Mbps broadband! Try cutting your page down. For example, who needs all those update news posts? Have only the latest three news and then put the rest in a old news page. Like oldnews.html . That welcome to my site thing should be nearer to the top because i am lost at sea (not literally) at how to work the site. Also your links should have a smaller maybe diffrent colour size font underneath explaing each link. Your links are really cool. I like the font style. I see you are using bravenet counter. It is ok. Okay i am really annoyed. The site loaded and i grew a beard and yet i can not see that huge picture that is in the middle of the page! Your site design is nice but not that good. I would prefer to have some options. It would be good if you put a design choice for the user to pick. It makes surfing easier. I have gone back to the welcome page, it loaded 5 secs with the picture in the middle working this time. I think that was because your site is now in my temperoary (spelling?) internet files.  Apart from that your site is great! Well done! I like your drawings by the way. 8.5/10. Go go go 

ok.


i have no idea why the sites takin so long to load, it doesnt take that long for me (that is when ive cleared out all my temp files and history etc) and ive just got a shitty 56kbps dial-up modem. i think part of the reason why it took so long is the counter. the counter loads slow and its in the main table. tables have to load all of their content before they show up so the rest of the content in that table has to wait until the counter has loaded and cos its slow it takes a while. i have to admit i dont really like the bravenet counter anyway but its the best free one ive found that doesnt need cgi-bin stuff.


i have taken into account what you said about the news posts. i worked it before that id archive all the news at the end of the month, but recently ive been doin more updates and so theres been more news piling up on the homepage. im gonna do it after every few updates now though.


i think youve got a point about the welcome to the site thing but i wanted the image of the latest update at the top. im gonna take a look at that and see what i can come up with.


i dont get why the links need explanations though, theyre kinda self-explanatory arent they? home, about me, my portfolio, etc, whats so hard to understand?


about the site design. ok you may not think its that good but i prefer simple designs. i like designs with solid colours, clean lines etc and seeing as my content (my drawings, computer work, etc) are real pictures that have plenty of colour and whatever else they have, i think it makes a nice contrast to have a simple interface. like i said though, i like simple designs and the site is all about me and my work so i think its best that i show off what i like. you get what i mean? i cant do another design option though, that would require php knowledge right? i dont know the first thing about that.


im glad you like my drawings anyway, and 8.5/10 isnt a bad score


thanks, ill check them out.


thanks. like i said im not a fan of the bravenet counter so ill have a look at those.


if you mean a border around the whole dark grey main area of the page i didnt put one in, but i might think about that now youve said that.


thanks


not everyones got a 2mb cable modem but like i said, the loadings not really THAT slow for my 56kbps dial-up modem

thanks for all your comments anyway

much better, 

Awesome stuff, I love it. 

Very impressive artwork.
