    I'm a bit of a writer and have decided to publish some of my fiction online. Although I'm still editing the fiction I've decided to launch the site now so I can start getting indexed by the search engines.

    The site includes:

    - Blog
    - RSS feed for the blog
    - Newsletter signup
    - Writer's tools
    - Online fiction with display options (you can change the alignment, text size, line spacing, font, etc)

    It's a pure CSS layout designed in Photoshop and hand-coded in XHMTL. The site is driven by PHP and MySQL and uses Apache for URL rewrites.

    I look forward to your comments.

    Not bad - at first I thought it was a little too much crammed together and hard to find things, but after looking for a minute or two that got better.

    I think the general idea and theme is very good, but it feels a little noisy. I'd want all the attention on the stories themselves rather than the theme, so you don't want to cramp it up too much. I love the random story generator though... "A webmaster takes the wrong amount of medication at a monastery", excellent
