Hi!

I went by your site. I liked your reviews, but to be honest, the motion of the background against the text began to make me a little dizzy. :)

Maybe you should consider putting a solid background in a table cell behind your text to make it easier to read.

nice :)

anyways, the intro blows, as does moving backrounds. the backround slows down the page scrolling very much, which in turn, makes me want to leave the site.

Well, the site has possibilities... but anyone with a slow modem connection (like me) isn't going to enjoy it.

The moving background makes for some very jumpy scrolling of the page, not to mention the migrain it gave me trying to read while it was moving.

My suggestions:

Either get rid of the Intro or make it smaller for faster loading (although you were kind enough to place a "Skip Intro")

Use a static background where you have text, remember the idea is to keep your visitors around.

So much for contructive critisism.

Flash intros are becoming very popular, but as you may have noticed most companies avoid them do to the fact customers don't want to wait nor do they have patience. The scrolling background make the text jumpy when scrolling.
Unfortunately there is a such thing as too much.

Keep on working on it and it will turn out just fine.

I have to agree with raven ... the moving background is distracting. I kept wondering why it was moving ...

You bunny icon is cute, but the edges are a little rough. I suggest that you try feathering the edges just a little and/or matting the graphic. Both these features are available in Fireworks if you are using macromedia product.
