Looked good Fizik cept one thing it was so white I could not read half the words with the letters being so light. Other than that looked great.

yeah, the text is impossible to read on my laptop. I know you want that glowing look, but really you should go with a dark text on light background. Its gonna be a real bear on people with colorblind too.

I REALLY like the apple with half being pixellated, great concept. Additionally good font choice on the banner, plus all lowercase is fun

One more thing, on the links at the top, you might want to consider either making all of the text button rollovers or get rid of the text that is not actually clickable, its a little confusing and makes it feel like something is missing.

Good job though, seriously. There are a lot of ugly websites out there and I'm glad to one less.

really nice clean layout. navigation is pretty easy.. i see what Iggins was saying, the links at top, you may do well to make a stronger visualization of "category | links".

awesome look and feel though. i'm really glad to see such a well made sight. granted it's half fan site and half advertising is a good incentive to make it look good.

i've been planning on a fan-site myself.. for quite a while actually. i'm still hammering out the site layout and what will be included and all that gritty stuff. but eventually i hope to have one up that people will enjoy as much as i can imagine them enjoying yours.

Bravo!

Nice use of Starax's fairy for the home page

Looks like some good resources, and I like the idea of color-based freebies.
