Before I get to the point of this post:

I've started going to school at Concordia University in Computation Arts and as a requirement (for most courses in the program apparently) students have to keep a site where they post assignments and other classwork related things.

So I finally decided now was the time to buy the domain battlelava.com and start a legit website.  I chose Blue Host for hosting.  Along with the site  I also set up a wordpress blog: battlelava.com/blog.  That's mostly the school part.

The point of this post: Design choices. 

As of now the site is very new and simple but I would love any considerations from any/all of you as it grows and even as of now.  Let me know what you think, and let's just talk about web design in general too, 'cause I feel like I want to have a lot fo fun with this :>

your homepage reminds me of: http://www.littlebootsmusic.co.uk/

which i'm not saying is a bad thing, at all.  in fact, i like this.

the cocaine chic/chique is nice...

That flashing text is sweet.

I love the simplicity of the rest. It looks awesome.

And the home page definitely remands me of Little Boots' page, haha.

My rules of webdesign are to create obnoxious hard to read websites, and in general act like its 1996.

examples: www.chkdisbrk.com - speakers up.

godinpants.com used to be terrible but i made it somewhat nicer now. I think i'll go back to the old one soon.

I do believe you fulfill your design rules incredibly well tongue

I've actually got a sweet plan to change up my site already, which will probably be complete within a few days...
