Nice site! I like the design the flow is good and the eye roams freely from one button to the next without confusion. I had a site like this around 5 years ago, lot's of free stuff, downloads and advertising for my services. At one point I was getting a million hits a month off search engines alone. It's a solid idea for generating traffic. I'll bookmark it and use it in the future.
Good Luck!

only two things

#1: the large white space on the right throws me off. but that is something that i personally am just annoyed by. others dont seem too bothered by it.

#2: in your galleries, you dont use thumbnails! the links to the pictures shouldnt just be the pictures with the size changed in the tag. open up an image editor and resize the picture to the right size. otherwise it takes forever to load all the images. even on a fast connection it takes a while.

other than that the site looks nice, nothing jumps out at you when it first loads though... might need something to kinda catch your eye.

I found the very top navigation section gets lost in a tabbed browser (if you have a few tabs open), it blends in to well and so gets lost.
One thing that stands out is the details in the sections, some you have
title: title
and others you have
title:
title
the one thats underneath looks like an after thought, even just removing the ':' could fix it as it looks like it should be next to rather than underneath.

the only fault I can really pick with it is the "featured posting" on the right hand side. it kinda sits down about 10 pixels below the box next to it. I think it would look much nicer if the two lined up across the top. That might just be me tho.

Very nice

I like the header, It invites me to go further.

I checked out your artists and where did you get them? Great stuff!! You should do good.

The only problem I saw was on some of the thumbnails, when I clicked on them and enlarged them, there was a link to close window and it didn't work. Check that out, otherwize, great.

tad clunky, though good concept.

It seems a little busy to me. Also, at first, I didn't see the top navigation. It sorta blends in with that graphic at the very top.

I think the front page would work better with less graphics. Especially in the main body part where you have all of those little icon things. You need more focus on text content here instead of visual stuff.

Nice site.

Overall very nice & the graphics seem to be much better plus the navigation is easier to see but it doesn't work properly in Opera6 as the background to the drop down menu isn't visable and so it's just black text over the page.

A couple of things that bug me are the 'Newest Postings' box is left aligned and should be centered like the ones above it. The circles with the images in on the second half of the page are still jagedy and rough.

On the about us page, the link for 'purpose' goes to the benefits anchor.

All your pages should have the same header set up as the first page, it's a bit odd that the nav moves to the top and looks different.

Nice work though

Very nice, enjoyable site, only two sore points:

- the aliased curve is an eyesore

- Compilations page needs to have "next page" link at bottom of page
