    great, yeah the search bar should be a top.

    The footer I will still have to write something for that.

    The background is too white i agree...i'm gonna look for something that fits

    =)

    The loading time is because of the high definition pictures I put in once you put your mouse over the country flags. Other than that it should load up fast.

    I will add a footer soon.

    Thanks Guys!

    Yeah, I'm looking for a solution to scroll more countries, that's the goal.

    For now I chose random countries. (with a little bias towards canada being first, lol)

    its a nice site nice work on it but i think if u use some different color in the whats new box..... maybe light gray or something like that ... becoz black color makes ur similes out of order.. Also try to make the widht more wider so it will give a space to the middile part to show more..... but else of it i think ur site has a nice look..... Keep it up

    Yeah I played with some of the colors that is easy to read with the background.

    I will try to resize the tables to make everything fit better.

    thanks =)

    Changed the logo to animated, I wonder if the load time is slow for the logo?

    are the color of the fonts easily readable?

    I trimmed down the site and made it as simple as possible.

    It's finalized.

    thanks for all the input.
