the website is very slow. now actually it's not loading at all.. consider
finding yourself better host.

from what I did see before it went down, the design is nice but far from
professional. you better hire web designer if you want more traffic.

There's just way too much gray, you may want to consider a different color scheme.
In addition to that, your graphics are way too big and they take way too long.

Agreed with the input on the gray and color scheme and page loading seem never end.

My input is to first get rid of the marquee (moving text). Reference (point no 3 - http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605a.html)

The other thing I saw is the website seem 'floating' as every sections are by itself and not 'connected'.

Thank you, I will definitely change the Icywave.Net designs, but right now I'm focusing on the blog, can you guys give me some comments of the blog?

For the slow load, I think the server was stuck at the time? Or am I deceived by the host... because right now the pages load very fast...

nagaisteve1, I did not optimize my site to fit every browser yet... are you using something other than ie?

It looks nice but can you do something about the gray color where your text appears?

Looks like you may need some indentation or remove the dark gray border.
I was trying to read your content but kept looking at the darn gray border

Also your main logo is kind of big, can you shrink it a bit?

You need to do some input validation, I was able to create a persistent XSS attack in about 30 seconds.

I will definitely shrink my logo, but I don't see which gray border you're talking about though, the border of the main page?

Memnoch, can you pm about the specific page?

it might load super fast for people from USA and super slow for
people outside of USA - if your website is targeted for people
from all over the world, you should consider this.
