Update 2

Update 2: So far things are going not bad but a bit slower than I anticipated. There is still a bit of tweaking to do tonight and in the morning but the overall effect is pretty much as what I was working towards. Stay tuned for the morning update.

I really like it! When I First came, I had to double check to make sure I was at the right place. I need to tweak my site as well...mainly color combos. Great job:)
