I'm making a new website & would appreciate any reviews/ratings on the design. Please note that I don't have an image editor anymore (it was a trial) so I used two fonts, electroharmonix & blue highway linocut, in place of where there would be text images. (any text that's larger than size 1 is one of those two fonts).
Sorry if that makes reviewing the site a bother.

Thanks!
(btw, it uses electroharmonix much more than the other, so if you have that font, please review. it's just the text, "i'm going to take these broken wings and learn to fly and learn to fly away" that's in the other font.)

- The design is decent
- The colors are not good, maybe you should try testing new color schemes
- Overall the design is very plain because of no graphics
- The white text rollover is sometimes hard to see, I suggest going with a darker color
- a nice background would fit well
- overall it is a clean design but it needs something more
- On my personal opinion on the site focus, I find it is well intentioned.

Overall: 80%

Can't make a banner yet, I have no graphics program. I plan to have a bg image for the top part, of wings pointing in toward the title, once (if) I can do that.
GC - what about the colors isn't good?

You can download a free shareware Paint Shop Pro on http://www.download.com for example.

Well it is just my taste, I am not really into a purple color scheme.

i'm not getting rid of it, just making this one in addition...
what was better about it?

EDIT: isolized - i guessed that was what you meant.
btw, anyone know if i can download the trial of PSP7 more than once? cuz it expired and i had to delete it; that's why i don't have a graphics program right now.

Well, the way I always to it is like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>YourTitle</title>
</head>
<body>

<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="100%" valign="center">

<table width="200" height="600">
<tr>
<td>
<center>
Your Page Data
<center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>
That how I do, I think. I make two tables, the first one spans the entire window, and in the TD tag I put valign="center" to center the next table in the center. Of coarse, change the 200 and 600 in width and height in the second table according to your site.
