    The font is very small on my screen. Add that to the fact that it's white on black and I wouldn't stay on the page very long.

    Also, I have no idea why, but sections of your page over-ride each other in my browser window (IE 5.2).

    There is no headline, so not only are you robbing yourself of some spider food, but a visitor has no real idea of what is on tap.

    You have some English errors. Tried to copy and paste, but something about your text doesn't allow me to do that and although I have a high degree of altruism, it doesn't extend to typing out paragarphs of someone else's errors.

    I like the comment about web masters or mistresses having fun. It gives your page a specific voice.

    Audrey, she did mention that it's nowhere near done, so I'd assume the headline is coming soon.

    Soapbath, I think the design is very sharp, I love it. I think it's very possible for you to have the biggest collection of free resources, you'll just have to dedicate a lot of time to the site, that's all. Will take time but it's doable. I would visit the forum if you had one, don't see why not. ;)

    Looks good. Yellow (orange) on black (grey) gives a good contrast but fonts are small. Maybe change your Arial fonts to Verdana which is not so crowded. Keep going with the material.

    Canadianbacon likes the color scheme, I do not. In '95 black was in, it is not today. There was a post earlier not this thread regardiing white text on black background. Suppose I want to print information from the page, what happens? Am I gointg to be printing white on white? Do test on several systems. Same design would work well in different color schemes.

    Layout looks good.

    Good luck, Think you will end up with good site.

    It's difficult me been critical when I'm no where near a webdesigner myself, but the design does look dated, and more suited to a gaming site rather than a webmaster resources website.

    Sorry for been negative :)
