My husband's band changed their name, so I had to make them a new website. It has no content, but it's pretty so :p.
Tell me it's pretty, dammit!
Blackbird Murder
BTW, a flock of blackbirds is called a murder. Duh.

who the hell misspelled 'coming' >:[
it would be pretty if I could read the links~~~~
Perhaps changing the font! :) The other is fine but the font looks too gothic and emo :(
Yeah, kind of hard to read. It does look pretty though.
But it would be much prettier if it adhered to web standards. You can ignore this criticism if you want to, though :p
Actually a flock of crows is called a murder. Blackbirds are a member of the thrush family.
Nice design though!
The scrollbar sticks out right now. I would set up a style for it so it blends in with the rest of the site more.
That style would only be visible with Internet Explorer though. Seeing that Firefox's market share is steadily increasing it wouldn't do much good.
I'f you're using css you should add the body colours into the css too, it'll look a lot neater and you'll have more control. Same with the fonts. It saves looking for the line of code when you can just quickly access the css if anything needs changing.
Looks cool but the black scrollbar only shows up when I browse the website in IE.
Hideous scrollbar is hideous

The main thing I'd recommend is using CSS to tidy up the code, but hey - it's not code I'm going to be developing, so whatever suits you more.
Maybe it would be a good idea to use a <div style="width: 813px; height: 406px; overflow: auto;"> to deal with the scrolling part of the page. Frames lead to unpredictable behaviour of the browser, like back buttons not working and if you wanted to include Javascript, you could easily get into strife. :p
EDIT: The current code does adhere to web standards. The only thing that is missing is the DOCTYPE declaration at the top of the source, but that in no way affects the rendering of the page.
dammit, I don't trust myself to quote shlup's post without erasing all of her post again, so uh, just going to use quickreply xD

My mistake then. I only did a quick check of the code and saw no doctype. A missing DOCTYPE declaration can affect the rendering of the website though, as browsers will render the website in quirks mode then. Also see here: Activating Browser Modes with DoctypeQuote:

I thought you could manipulate the scrollbar's style in Firefox too. After some searching I realized that you're right and it can't be done without some funky javascript that sort of hacks up the W3C standard.Quote:

Thank you for the feedback! BJ and I will work on this code stuff together, since we both need to learn CSS crap. Huzzah!
You're definitely on the right way and it already looks very pretty. Good luck and don't forget to keep us informed about your progress! :D
