    Hi Kim

    A little over the top for me. There again I am not into Myspace. (2 old)

    I do like how you have integrated your adsense into your site.

    I shall ask my younger family members tomorrow to have a look.

    Good luck and merry xmas to you

    Jim

    It's hard to say. It might be best for you to ask Warriors with children to review your site. You want to ask those in your target market or at least who can relate somewhat closely to they type of people you are promoting your website to. As for me, I didn't realize I was so old. It's completely outside of comprehension.

    hey there Kim
    I'm viewing using firefox on a satellite internet connection.
    There are a load of flashing things which I personally don't like, but for the market you target, it's probably a good thing, i hate the Polaroid thing with all the pictures, but again, probably fine for your visitors! I don't care for the ads with voice, it's irritating and I tend to leave the site rather than look around.
    i think the site is perfect for your target audience.

    the font size and color on the menu is hard to read, maybe bump it up a notch or two? or darken the color a little. The main site menu kind of blends into the site itself up on top, perhaps add a text menu on the left or right as well?

    I notice you have no alt tags on your header, that might help SEO a bit.
    Again,overall, for your market and visitors, i think you did a great job, I know it is an incredible amount of work to redesign, let alone manage a site like yours..so huge round of applause for you!

    I think it looks really good. There is a lot of 'flashing' but that is good for the kind of site that it is.

    Well done and I hope you do really well with it.

    Kim,

    What's the deal with the white sand beach in your avatar... Don't be
    giving everyone the feeling that's what they'll get when they visit the
    great white north or we'll have a heck of a rush at the boarder...

    Regarding your website... All I can say is if you're making money with it
    just sitting there all by itself... Congratulations...

    It just about blinds me with the flashing stuff, by heck if it works... it works...

    Keep up the great website building...

    Happy Holidays,

    Rob

      Thank you everyone.. Yes the polaroid pics are very blinding but the kids are always requesting them.

      as for the menu section , I was thinking the same thing.. the titles need to be darker..

      Rob, my avatar is from when I went to florida... I wish I was there right now cause I am friggin freezin and snowed in ....lol...

      Thanks again everyone...

        Nice! The only thing I had a problem with is it taking so long to load all the way. But then again I'm a bit impatient.
