    Hi all!
    I just re-posted this, its version 1 so could you all check it and tell me how it runs on your computer. How slow/fast does it run? Is the pop-up window size to small? How is the navigation? Could you find your way around?
    I'll realy appresiate any suggestions, tips, or complaints.

    Thanx!

    Mmmm ... personally, i think you give users too many selections there before ( finally ) get into the main page ... but again, it was a beautiful page, so i think it worth viewing ...

    I didn't check the whole site as i'm on 56k and you don't have an informative preloader ... but i did get into the poemz section

    I think you need to put more distinguished buttons, I have to explore the whole screen to find where to click ... or maybe once you put some sounds / musics, they will be easier to find ...

    The nav texts are also need improvement, they're kinda blurry and hard to read in certain sections / rooms
    Musics and sounds are definitely a must for your site ... you already have a good site for the eyes ... need something for the ears ...

    One last comment, when making a scrolling texts, better use a PNG image of the texts for scrolling ...

    ::Good job

    I thought most of the text's and buttons where a bit blury but wasn't to sure since I couldn't see it on other monitors. I'll definately change that stuff you mentioned.

    Appreciate it,

    i absolutely loved the fire cursor on the landing page. that is seriously one of the coolest things i've ever seen on the web. on the negative side, the text is too dark on a dark background for the About section and i'm not a big fan of exploratory navigation. to me, that is something left more for kids games than a serious website because you spend more time trying to figure how how to proceed or go back than on the content you're trying to present

    I loved the fire cursor as well, However the whole thing was very jumpy and slow (it could be cos I'm viewing it on a 21 inch monitor at 1280x1024 screen resolution).

    Super cool site. Keep it up!!

    Thanx for the reviews, its good to hear what people think.
    I'm still trying to fix the navigation, that problem is making my brain swell to the point where my head is going to explode.
    Any suggestions on what you all would do different for navigation?

    that site is so good

    those spark things are very good!!!! and it all looks real real good.

    although the words are a strain to read on that what is suburbia page

    i don't know if this is what you intended but i am AWFULLY AWFULLY Confused. lol

    but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    Thanx for the review. The text on the what is blue suburbia page is realy bothering me--working on changing that.
    Did you have trouble reading the text on the menu to? The one on the top right of the page.
    Also how did the animations run for you, where they choppy and slow?
    Confusion wasn't realy intended... But I guess thats something I'm good at.

    my experience

    well, i'll tell you my experience

    open site
    look at splash - oooh, love the firey sparky things and it all looks nice
    click the find out abouit suburbia - it's too hard to read for my eyesight (my eyes aren't all that good, and i'm lazy, it's readable but i'm too lazy to concentrate that hard)
    enter the site
    click that light thing
    click on the rose and something pops up but goes away to quickly to read it
    keep trying to read it but having no luck
    click the window and go back outside
    oops, i don't wanna do that
    go back inside (no light this time in the window)
    somehow get to this hallway
    click somewhere and back in the rose room
    awfully confused so click X

    there's my account of the site

    it wasn't choppy and i didn't see any menu

    i really like it, especially the enter page...

    loaded quickly enough for me (note - i do have a cable modem, so i can't be sure of average loading time) and processor handled it well (my good ol' PIII 550)

    no major qualms, so i look forward to completion...

    The cursor on the main page is very cool, like it a lot. It took me a while to figur out you have to click on the window, perhaps make it a little more clickable, put an arrow next to it or something.

    A very nice site, love all the drawings, great!

    I liked it, mostly because it was so full of colours and images. I´m not really in to poetry but the site was really nice.

    Great work, I love the graphics, very well done! congratulations on a great design. I was using a T1 connection, so can't say about the load times, but with a connection like this, the site loaded very smooth and was a great experience.

    Thanx, how about the movements/animations where they slow for you?

    Bit slow sometimes on my Pentium 4 1.4GHz 128MB RAM. Only when there is a lot of movement.
