Longer than it should. The Grpahics were easy and I flew through does but the layout and the CSS were very trial and error. Its a good learning process.

Now its content/copy I need to get off my ass and do.

[Ferox13]

Theres definitely some TV stuff I'm missing.

I've never watched Buffy/Angel was there any Lovecraftian monsters in that or any necronomican name dropping?

Also I'm sure Doctor Who had more than just The Sea Devils (which have more than a passing similarity to the Deep ones).

Thanks for any input and help..
