I'm nearing completion on my site and would like some comments/recommendations on it, please. The site is located at http://www.jbstillwater.com and uses Elated's Condor pagekit as the template. I still have a few pages to convert yet, so if you see something that is out of whack or doesn't match the rest of the site, it is most likely because I haven't gotten to that page yet or, quite possibly, I haven't figured out a good layout for those pages.

Anyways, I welcome any and all comments or suggestions for improving the site.

Looks good brennana. I like the palm trees photo on the homepage.

To remove that black rectangle around your WELCOME paragraph, try editing the style sheet file (style.css) and changing:

background-color: #1A1A1A;

to:

background-color: transparent;

for both the #header and #headertext selectors.

Thank you for your kind words, I changed them to transparent as you suggested and it looks MUCH better now.

I'm not really a fan of black backgrounds but with the header image it looks pretty good. I don't know about the varying shades of text. I like the border around your poem and the title color. I think more bright colors on the page would be good. Just one opinion. All in all, nice job.
