I've made a new personal site and I'd love reviews

    I've just opened my domain http://exsiren.com, which is serving as a personal space for me with recordings of music and a contest running.

    Hopefully soon, I will add links to sites like hosts, registrars, graphics sites, and maybe add a section for small graphics.

    I'd love some reviews, to get my site started. :)

    Hey, love the header - so fun! Are you going to be adding a menu anywhere though? As your site gets bigger you will want to have your information easily accessible.

    Thanks :)
    I'm actually looking for places to add a menu, too, but I can't seem to find a good spot. I didn't think of it when I designed the layout x-P

    At first glance, the easiest place to add a menu without widening the whole site would be a horizontal bar directly below the header. You could take this text: "Network about songs affiliates contest exit clear" and work it into the header. That would then leave room to place the menu :)

    I'll see what I can do :)
    Maybe I should use java-script for a dropdown menu?

    I think the text beneath "welcom to exsiren.com" is too small. The design looks good. You could put a menu right above "network about songs..."

    Good Luck

    That text is rather small, try doing a search on the G seems to me there are some 'floating' style menu java scripts out here. The deigns cute and girly, hope that's what you wanted. If not then am I bad :eek::eek:

    Do you have any suggestions for the java menus? I tried searching and even tried one, but it kind of messed my page up instead of helping me. :-P

    I will change the text size. Thanks.

    Can't say it's anything original (so many, many, many girl design this way unfortunately!), but I think it's very cute nonetheless. Your background is a bit crooked though. The lines go _--_--_--.

    Ahahaha... I was hoping no one would notice the background-problem ^^U

    I wonder if there's something that'd make the background align starting at the middle of the page?

    I've successfully re-did the menu, yay :)
    Thanks a lot for the suggestion, and you didn't have to apologize ^^

    The text? Do you mean by making it bigger? I've already done so.

    not too keen on the mouse pointer and you could maybe do without the pink checkered wallpaper effect, increase the font size and keep them targeted.

    Looks like your having fun putting this together. Would like the font to be larger so it's easier to read.

    Very nice site, the design definitely stands out especially the header as others have stated.

    Good luck with it :)
