I finally finished the site. I bought the domain name in March, but I haven't made a decent effort to actually open it until now.

Tada!



It's kinda lame right now 'cause I don't have much to add to my portfolio yet and the pages aren't even full enough to pull the column to the bottom of the screen...but I had to start somewhere. It took me four hours just to type out the services section, and I'm already finding things I need to change. pinch.gif

I love that you added one of your illustrations to be the main background for it. I saw that it was linked on your main site.. but I believe at the time, it was just a splash screen? idr. It could use a favicon. Personally when I think of flamora, flamingo's come to mind, or spanish dances. word associations...

I'm not crazy about your choice of font for the "Flamora A personal blog and portfolio" but a site all about you, is supposed to be all about you. If I were to suggest a font, it'd be memoriam (to fit the site name in my perspective).

I think my favorite part about the site, is the actual blog setting, and the background. I like that some people will take the effort and use css to do more than just change the body text color and background to the page. thumbsup.gif

@Thomas I'm not that crazy about the font choice either, but nothing else I tried was doing much for me. I thought something a bit more scribbly and natural looking would look best with the rest of the design, so the font you suggested isn't really going to fit in with my idea (although I am downloading it for later use).

But thanks a lot. :D I'll probably get to adding a favicon later...maybe.

@Joseph Thanks for reminding me about that. I wanted to do that before I even found the script, but I guess I forgot about it.

@Mike THANKS! I DON'T THINK YOU MADE THE SMILEY BIG ENOUGH. :)
