Your website is outstanding. I checked all of your buttons and they wroked, and also there were no red warning tags in your code. I also enjoyed looking at all the different movies that you had on your website. Amazingly, I liked several of them.

I really enjoyed your webpage. I need to contact you so that you can help me figure out what I did wrong with my homepage pictures. But anywho....your buttons worked, the pages had no grammatical problems (to my notice) and every movie on the page was great! I see that having kids does affect the things you watch. http://johnstrange.com/edm310tt2spring07/Preston
