WooHoo! Nice start Jayr. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I love the parchment look and 'olde worlde' lettering.
Some comments; firstly thanks for the link in your links section, most appreciated.
Several places I noticed font's that were out of synch with the rest of the site - I'd like to see the olde worlde theme extend to all the headings rather than most of them.
I clicked one of the thumbnails which told me it would open a bigger picture - instead it opened another thumbnail with a text discription - to get to the big version I had to click on the second thumbnail which seemed a little clumsy.
There's a couple of minor typo's on your first FAQ page.
Last critique - always use an upper case 'I' when refering to yourself. You are a unique and worthy individual and you deserve a capital 'I' rather than a small 'i'. Using a lower case 'i' to refer to yourself is sort of selling yourself short.
Overall I like the look and the layout - it looks like an interesting and challenging project you've got there - I wish you all the best with it.:D |

Looking great James. I'm a sucker for web-sites with a continuous theme running through them. Its all very LOTR. Maybe you need a troll in there somewhere? Mine will work for food ;):D
I think W!Z has mentioned all the slight errors that I spotted.
Now I'm just waiting for some more of the story ;)
Thanks for the link BTW but could I be picky and ask that you change it to 'Mad Mouse Design' instead of 'Madmouse Designs' when you get time. Cheers. |

Thanks guys, i've delt with most of them now.
I'm keeping the thumbnail/ description link because i wanted to explain who the characters are but i've changed the instruction to 'click images' insted of 'click images to enlarge' |

I like! The over all olde worlde look and feel is great. Thanks for the link to, much appreciated, but could I also be picky and ask for my name to be spelt right! :)
Also noticed under 'Implementation' that you'd spelt 'Spacekdet' incorrectly as 'Space Cadet'.
Look forward to perusing the whole thing when it's all finished. |

Done! thanks WWW!
The Story will be laid out in the 'tales' section, it'll just be background stories at first but will all start to weave together over time |

On the individual pages for each subject, you may want to have a clickable sample image for each sub category you want people to click on, since it's not obvious that the text is clickable. |

Site looks nice although I only got the PC sorted yesterday so not much time to mess with it.
Flattered to get a link in your 'inspirations' page though...:D |

Thanks for the shoutout and also to Kate for the spelling correction.
I'll add your link to my site (http://www.spacekdet.com/links/) in return.
Nice parchment! |
