Hi Halpin. I love the bird graphics. Especially the way you have the top left graphic. It loads a little slow, which is in part dues to the page being so long. Was there a specific reason you put so much on the home page? I would suggest breaking it up into different pages. Just to save load time. Good Luck. Great site for a first timer.

I agree that this is a really nice site. I also agree that maybe the home page info should be broken up into other pages - there is just too much information.

I am not a big fan of that color yellow - but that just could be me...

Really good job!

Good Job, I havent seen many first timers who use META tags and comments.

Try to avoid too much content on the homepage. In the best caes it should be only so long that the average user can see everything without scrolling. So dont use my site www.goKewl.com as an example Smiling

Keep up the good work,

Malte

HI Halpin,
Nice site (from one bird lover to another)
I think you can simplify/condense the home page easily in a few ways. summerizing the content and adding a more.... link.
Also, it might be nice to have a multi column layout (2 or even 3) to get all the important points onto one screen shot.

keep up the great job Smiling,

take care,
Carolyn
