This week Amber critiques our member Ilona Kreske's site. You can view her page by pointing your browser to http://www.oocities.org/SoHo/Cafe/6096

When first entering this site, I was very turned off with the colors and design. A cheesy opener, and little angel to click on-I mean, come on. 
Then I found myself wandering onto the main page. At least that is what I thought of it. A beautiful background with unmatching graphics. Gee. This is fun. Then finally to the main page. The page I learned a major lesson on.
 I then started to read some of the personal links. What I found was remarkable to me. Within this cheesy setup was the heart of a wife, a mother, and a very bright woman who is full of life. Her poetry was very touching. This woman is great with words. Then there is her graphics. Wow. That is all I can say. True talent is present on this page. Whether it is from talking about her child in poetry or a nice little description of her trip to Sweden, this woman truly is a woman. She should shine all over the net, and be an example to all.
       The lesson I learned was that just because a page might not be appealing to the eye, it could well be appealing to the heart. It made me take into consideration my page. I spent weeks on end with graphics and layout, and I have little content. The next time I refurnish my site, I will think back to "pookie's" page, and remember that the soul of a person lies below.
