Hi Vici,

It was nice to meet you last night! I had fun talking about CSS and Dreamweaver with you. I think the concept for your project is really great, and I think it's a unique and interesting project.

I really like the images that you are using in your project. As I said last night, I think the images work great on the poetry pages, but I would be careful about using an busy image for the entire background on a page that has lots of text. Even if you change the text color, it might still be hard to read. One possibility is to put a white box around the text so the image is still there, but the text is legible.

I also really like your idea of giving your learners several routes to explore your site. It might be a good idea to also have a "home" button on all of your poetry pages so they can always return to the main page if want to.

I look forward to seeing your site as it progresses! Let me know if you have any questions about CSS or anything else.

Have a nice weekend,
Carrie
