The center image on your site banner is, well what is it. Next, my favorite suggestion, use a background image or color for/with your various pages and add a cellpadding of 5 to 10 for all your text boxes. If no background or bgcolor is specified then the visitors browser default color is used. To me your site appears as various white image and box or text pads on a gray background. No need to keep repeating that site banner. Need a home page nav button and when I visited your site there were several failed links: faq, 404 on sequel, prayers, and cosmicoranges. I like the idea of your home page image menu but could you make the images/text somewhat larger.

As the previous post acknowledged, your background is not specified so therefore it uses the default viewing browsers color. You should specify the color otherwise it will not show correctly with all browsers. I viewed your site and it showed the background grey which of course if my default browsers background color.

I only looked at the main page, and it looks pretty good. Keep up the good work.

Agree with the first post, the banner is pretty big (166k). Cool looking but big. Most folks probably come for your content, not the banner so it wouldn't hurt to shrink it down or incorporate it into a watermark background.

Good job on the wallpapers.

I have not seen the movie, but it looks interesting.

<body bgcolor=#ffffff> or <body background=yourimage.suffix>
