Hmm. I almost said goodbye to the page (broadband).

Try switching 'image loading' off in your browser and see if it all

makes sense.

(Hint: it doesn't)

The page loads to slow, because of the use of tables.
The lay-out looks good in Firefox 0.8 on Linux/Mandrake 9.2

Use a proper Doctype for the html.
http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html

Place the style sheet in an external file and save the file as e.g.
style.css
Add a link of the style sheet between the <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

I belief you have used a javascript the marguee. The marguee script
doesn't work when I have disabled/enabled the javascript in Firefow 0.8.
Also the google addon banner doesn't work.

When you have finished the page try to validate it at:
html
http://validator.w3.org/
style sheet

I really like the steelish-blue color. Plus, it is refreshing to see a
break from the guidelines of graphic design basics.

You are transcending the boundaries of typographic guidelines to boldly
strike out on your own for parts unknown, in a way vaguely similar to
legendary artist Jackson Pollock.

As far as the coding goes, it seems that the W3C validation page is
absolutely dumbstruck. They do not know what to make of your page, so it
must be impressive.

How's that? =)

Brandons is an Artist - it doesn't HAVE to make sense.

He designs divinely, inspired, like someone speaking in Tongues ...
except from a design perspective.

You are all just jealous! Admit it!

Thank you.

A bit on the slow side.

Use a meaningful title. This will help you on search engines, and help
users who bookmark your site.

It's a bit cluttered, which leads to confusion, different fonts, colours,
images etc.

I looked at it for a while, looked at all the links, still don't know what
it's about.

Confusing.
