Lovely, Danna. The colors are great. Easy on the eyes, easy to read, books show off well, photos loaded quickly and are good quality. Great job!

It's very easy to get around and find all the info I'd be looking for.  Looks great.  And your books are adorable.  :)

Wonderful airy feel. Wonderful photos. Wonderful display of your work. Wonderful artwork. Wonderful text. And oodles of wonderful information! (Your blog rocks wonderful, too!)

Do you mind me asking, Was your template a Go Daddy theme or were you able to customize it yourself?

Bestest!

I just loved it. It looks professional and easy to move from one area to the next. I also like its simplicity.

Hi Danna,
Nice! Very nice! Glad you shared it. :)

Carole
ps. I know you can't pm so am adding this as a gesture of goodwill, not critically, but thought I'd let you know I saw a typo so you can fix it if you want. Let me know and maybe one of mods will help out with that. We like to be helpful here.

It looks wonderful! Professional, colorful, and informative.

However... I have to say, having the navigation on the right is not standard. I haven't read about website usability in a long time, but it's my understanding that the main navigation should really be at the top or on the left. That's the way people are used to seeing it and it also ensures the navigation will appear even if someone is using a small screen. Also, no need to write "Main Navigation" above the navigation. Those are my only tiny nits. :)
