I can do it, but I'm so slow I wouldn't recommend me. I personally like pages that are mostly HTML, and therefore fast. Especially any home page.

As a user, when the home page doesn't come up fast, I'm outta there. You can do some beautiful things with just text and images. Simple is good. Actual content is better than empty Flash.

I completely agree. A page with 90 percent HTML will load soooo much faster.

I'm also going to put a counter at the bottom.

Agreed. Less likely to crash other systems, too. Stay with jpegs and animaged gifs and forget the fancy stuff as it often takes many people way too long to load (learn java script). For style, go here:

"Web Pages That Suck" should be required reading for all web page designers. Teaches you how to make interesting, catchy web pages by showing you bad examples :-) It's a fun and humorous site. Since 1996.

Oh... and always always *always* use spell-and-check.
