I like the concept. Its a little dark maybe? keep at it ;)

well there are a couple differences that i will make:

1. i will have mouse.over images
2.i  might make them in a different pattern

any other things i could do?

well. i want to have a darkish theme, and i can see it perfectly. you guys make me sad =[

alright i guess...

*but first, if you didnt go to the website, go there. its much easier to see on my background.

*also, the links are going to work different than soulys

ill try that out

All I see is a big black square and in the edit I see a slightly less dark square inside the black square. @_@

You have a website. You want people to read the text on your website. People will realize that if the creator of the website doesn't even care if they can see the text or pictures, they probably don't have anything worth the effort it takes to read it posted on the site.

you aren't getting the point.  if you want a website that people will see, such as a portfolio, then you need to make it accessible by people who don't have properly setup monitors. 

back in 96, my friend and i had a competition kinda thing...  i told him a high contrast site would get more visitors than a lower contrast site...  so my site was black background with white text, his was white background with gray text.  mine received 6000 more hits than his did, and mine is still around to this day.

it is all up to you, but if you want people to actually visit your site, make it readable.  my monitor is perfectly set up, and i still have to strain to get all the details in.  and i can gaurantee that 99% of the surfing public arent going to adjust their monitors just to see your site.

Telling people that their taste in monitor settings is wrong will piss many people off. Go lighter or drop the project.

gee, thanks for the recap of what i said

you cant even see the middle color, and the darkest is supposed to be black.
i didnt ask you to edit it either.

*ive been working on a lighter version, just be patient its almost done.

but you DID ask for help, and you need all the help you can get.  dont piss me off, i'd hate to ban 2 people in one week.

i'm pretty sure everyone here is saying the same thing.  Too bad it's like talking to a wall

its done! i think its still a little dark. what do ya think?

its hard to tell because on my computer it looks fine, i need some others opinions.

or should i drop the dark theme: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9288/untitled1iq.png
?

~thanks

*the reason i dont update a lot is because ive been very busy lately, and ive been posting from school(in the middle of class ), where i dont have my work. But i just finished a big project so ill have some updayes more often.

on the website?

because im going to have art and stuff on some pages, and if there are more than what fits, that changes into a more button, which brings you to another page.

ill probobly stick to the bright one, maybe make the lightest color more yellow...

color would be neat. ill think it over(this project may be on hold for a while as the upcoming freshman science fair is in a couple of weeks, and i have to make the art, music, and program an entire game.)
