Uhhhh...can you host the kinda stuff on powweb...even though some would consider it 'art'??

But anyways...nice site, easy and simple. A few things:

- index page has no title (says 'Untitled Docuement')
- grey and red text can be hard to read on a black background...but my young eyes can take it...but many others won't
- popup images in a totally new browser window...maybe just make it a popup window with some easy javascript (no menu bars or scrolling...see my example HERE (http://www.berkswebguy.com/web/bar/pics.shtml) )
- Seems to be too much header space on top...alot of scrolling with 800x600 resolution
- Love the images and imagery...very nice.

You may want to check with PW but I see noothing wrong with your site. It isn't like you're running a "for profit" porn site.

I agree that you may want to increase the brightness of your font. I can read it fine but someone with weaker eyes may strain - between the font size and color... either small and bright or big and dark (bad example but easiest one to think of).

I may consider rewording the part about "under construction." Just a matter of staying away from those two words. Nothing says you can't announce that you're always changing but the u/c phrase may shun some people away.

Other than that, good use of thumbnails, good sizing of screen. Professional looking site. I wish my site could be as simple as yours <G>... oh the days of years past... but that's the good 'ole supply and demand.

Good luck in your ventures.

Sorry. PowWeb's no nudity policy means just that - no nudity :( This discussion has taken place many times on these boards. I recommend that you take down your nudes immediately or your account will be suspended as soon as the powers that be find it.

Nice site, though :)

I think that your photogrpahy is very good, even though I don't particularly subscribe to Goth. You are quite an artist.

The site suggestions that have been previously mentioned would be a good idea to change.:)

The images that are used as your wallpaper are simply fantastic.

When you click on one of your gallery images, it may benefit from showing the image in a controlled (pre sized) window rather than a seperate browser instance.

I Think the no nudity policy has it's place - but not on such an artistic site like this (though I may question the image of the hands being bound!)

I love it.

Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with it myself. Not in the least. But I guarantee you that PowWeb will.

As Mirzabah has pointed out, PowWeb policy doesn't allow for any nudity. It's very specific so as to avoid debates over "what is art?" or "what is pornography?" There is not a concrete answer to those questions, hence the policy.

The majority of web hosts have similar policies, and they aren't necessarily morality judgments, they are business judgments.

Ahhh Bugger!!.. I was to slow.. heh. The sites been disabled.
Remove the nudity ssalo and email support@powweb.com stating that you have done so and want your site re-enabled.
