I know, I know. I'm fooling around with my site again. The links are broken, because I haven't done the overhaul yet; it's just a test.

What do you think about the concept? What needs to be changed? What do you think about the execution?

How do you like the top note/header? I created that in GIMP, pushpins and all!

And is it just me, or does that font look like handwriting?

Arg, why is the BG colour overriding the BG image in Opera? Suckage....

Edit: fixed. Misnamed folder.

There are better handwriting fonts out there. Do a search for them. Other than that, I like it better than your puzzle idea.

A lot lot better than your previous offering, not just in actual appearance but in terms of the execution of an idea.

It might be nice if you could make a border around the page that would look sort of like a wooden frame. It would be really easy in CSS.

Much better than last time for sure.

Like others said, a wooden frame would be nice. Also there are better handwriting fonts.

I like the idea of a wooden frame! How would I go about doing that?

My [probably stupid] way of doing it would be to put some padding on the html (so your body and its corkboard background gets set into the page more) and then put a nice brown color for the background of the html. Also, I'd probably add an inset border to the body in the same brown color so you'd get a 3-dimensional effect.
