Where's Wally?

iv been thinking, and i want to add a map to my web site. its the easiest way i can think of showing people where togitogiga is and how to get there. so i went googling, looking for a way to add or embed a google map to my page, bracing myself for the worst. however, it turns out that its a really simple thing to do, google makes it real easy. you just find the place you want - click link to this page - copy the html code and then paste it into your site! :D

Deviants-R-Us

when looking for a little inspiration i always go to deviantArt first.there just so much good stuff there and i always come away with some good ideas :) i searched for the most popular deviations under the category web interfaces and found some really good stuff. i think for my homepage im going to have a sort of tabletop look, a little messy with some stationary strewn across it and maybe some letters and pens and stuff.

Linkin Park Website

Michael likes the idea of having a video in the background of the "intro page". It was a little crowded but it doesn't really bother him. It was great that he could see the blogs from the band on the home page. The navigation bar is best at the top where he can go strait to videos etc. The colors are not too loud, they don't over power the website!
