Thanks for re-posting that one, Steve. I read that one some time ago and apparently missed something.

Something irresistable about a pair of blue balls. What is it???

Those are very nice balls, but don't loki like balls, look like "half-a-ball" you know, like a buttom!!

I wish I kept the site I found it on, but there are tons of crystal ball tutorials to be had. I used this on for my main site navigation. (Give the page enought time to load. It's worth it.)

Welcome to the Asylum artmaker.

As for your site...

The big ass bloody ad popup was extremely annoying, and the page itself has definite problems. However, it was easy to navigate (not considering the random popup) and the art work was very good. C- for presentation but an A for content.
