The good: Nice layout idea.

The bad: Tables for layout. Colours aren't very welcoming. Black on red is
hard to read.

Other stuff: More JavaScript than CSS. There's really no need.

Do tables work in all 'puter browsers and 'puter platforms?
I couldn't care less about other devices.
Unfortunately, css has too many cross-browser, cross-platform and
positioning issues to be taken seriously, IMO
(did you know some of the basic css rules don't work on Mac versions of IE?)

not supposed to be welcoming ...more intended like 'challenging', or
'take-no-prisoners' :-)

I don't like css for anything but basic stuff.

There is a graphic need which basic fonts will not supply!

It hurts my eyes. Thus, there's no reason for me to want to read any further. I
like the fonts you used, though.

But ALT="xxxxxxx" on your <IMG> tags would work if you gave it a try ;-)

It's edgy eyecandy. Damned if I can find any content though. Looks like
something from a nouveau design magazine. Never did care for non-functional
design.

like the fonts you used, though.

"Distress" and "Sloppy Ink"
....you'll find free downloads of them if you 'google'
