    I dont see the align left as a style that can be put out, its human nature to look to left first, but I can see what your saying. The fonts? I believe the fonts are what add some charachter into it, its not like im making the body font radical. The Fixed window, I did that because i dont like using full HTML pages, and I just like having personal pages kinda small like that, not full blown, also I did that so IE wouldnt stretch the page. And since it is a personal page does it really matter when I send it live? Also the music isnt skater stereotypical, i used that to describe what I wear and what I look like.

    It seems all your critique was personal preferece not actual flaws in the page... I thank you for your comments I really do. But most of what you mentioned as bad, I see as good. Not tat i'm not open to critique, its just... u know what im sayin :)
    I agree it is personal preference but then a website visit is all about personal preference look how much was made of the AO forum colour changes

    Align left...sorry don't agree I have a largish monitor and I like to see a website that at least looks like it is meant to be on my monitor, much the same as when you visit a site and bad coding means you have to use the scroll tools to see stuff on the right, often covering the links, yours didn't do this but the parallel is there.
    As for the popup window I still don't like them unless they are larger anything that makes me have to get closer to a monitor is bad in my opinion...and to see the original window underneath detracts from the site. Accessability needs to be full on so any coding changes you need to make to allow other browsers to access your site definately needs to be done. The trouble with Flash based sites is that unless you are a quick enough connection they can load badly if at all...Nike is Flash based and even that I have problems with and I have a broadband connection. website designers have gotten to be lazy lately with the big file sized sites that only work well on a really fast connection. I didn't have any issues with connection to your site but that comment needs to be taken on board...you ignored all the comments before when signatures were allowed and you were saying about the ones you were making were only a little over this isn't a flame post in anyway a purely personal take on what you have provided...I notice you made no mention of the lack of content, as for the music side of things, the odds are in favour of the music being the same as your look/appearance so that is why I didn't listen, it isn't for me but then I rarely have my speakers on anyway unless I am downloading a video to watch. Take a look at WDP's ( www.wdp.tv ) site for a sensible way of doing a popup window together with flash.....oh and all centred.

      Thankyou MarkM for your post, and in no way am I taking anything you sya as flaming... As for lack of content, the site has really only been bieng worked on for 3 days so yah...

      I dont know who mentioned the scroll bars (kai maybe?), those have been changed as of 15 minutes ago...

      I could put all of this in one huge HTML page with it centered in a big blop of white if thats what you guys think I should do? Look at it again guys, let me know what you think about the new basic scroll bars (updated as of.... now)

          Alrite... i'm sorry that it doesnt work in Firefox.. if someone would like to enlighten me on how to do that it would be great... Other than that, i'm not asking whether or not ur 3rd party browsers can see it.. so if you going to complain about that, atleast give comments on the site itself =/

            woaw! The loadtime on that site is none existant... that's imressive. I'm all about loadtimes...I also have no clue how to do em like wdp. I could care less for their markers, but their site is impressive..

                  To me, it comes off as being a bad compression, not a style choice. So in a way, it is kind of bad. If you like it that way, don't worry about it.

                  The scroll bar fix was deffinately a good idea. That little change has helped a lot.

                    I like the design. Works well, nice job!

                    I'm starting to build a flash website of my own.
