I guess posting it up here takes a little of the pain out of putting it up on Monday. This is all very new to me, my 119 site never worked properly. So, this is my first working website. Yay!

The only little thing is the tmcc and grc175 is too close to the edge, maybe you can shift those up a bit.

:) It's very pretty and fancy. Love the roses. Everything from your picture to the font, and the color choice goes very well together.

Your teacups are so fun!!! They are great!

I would add that the email looks too close to the edge, at least in Explorer.

How wonderful to have a blog to add too!

Wonderland is go for liftoff! 'Grats on building your first functional site.

I like the slight sense of surrealism throughout, particularly the precariously stacked teacup navigation and the fact that you look so blasé about it all. It's like your a waitress at a greasy spoon in Wonderland and have seen so much at identical twin eggs and talking caterpillars don't phase you any more. I like the use of the literal frame around your content as well.

A couple quick suggestions:

- Your email and class information seems crammed down in the lower right corner. I'd move 'em away from the bottom right a bit (say 1/8") to give them 'em to breathe.

- There's a slight white edge on the inside of your content frame.

- I like your background pattern, but there is a rather obvious break in the tiling along the bottom of your tan container box.

- As we get more advanced in skill in this class, I think it'd be neat for you to revisit this and maybe have a few things breaking out of the tan container box.

Really neat! A good concept well executed.

its very you! I love the LOMOness (acid wash) the feeling gives off as well. I agree that the tiling in the back is a bit bothersome but still for a first site its pretty awesome!

re iterating what I've previously said. I like the lomoness and how its very you! and again the background not being seamless bothers me a bit.. but its still a fun site

Looks good I like the idea of you holding the cups as your navigation. I was having some problems with your links, once you get into the project one page none of your links work at that point but that isnt hard to fix just update the html page. Anywho like the overall page and design, nice work.

looks good i like the colors but the background on the middle table with its grainyness messes with the black type just a little

Very expressive!
Yeah, a tiled background should be seamless but it's your first site and it rocks! You should be proud of yourself!
