[please excuse me if this is in the wrong forum]

But anyway, I had an old website a while back that was adless; however, they recently switched to a giant 300 pix long ad at the top of the page, that was 3 months ago. I got a new site and decided to redo the style of my site, hence I finally found a style that fits with what I like.

Anyway, this template will be used on both my portfolio site and the main site for the online game I'm developing. If you notice it only uses a couple images in the site altogether for faster loading times and more professionalism. Everything will be dynamically driven through php and a database. And remember, this is just a template, no relative info on it yet.

Please comment on the amount of time it took to load and about the design too. Any comment is appreciated, even the negative ones.

edit: I aslo already know about the small gaps at the top and bottom of the page. I use Dreamweavor and just can't seem to figure out why it's creating those gaps.
