Yep, it's been approximately a year since I created the first part of the Duckyboos project, the Duckyboos Blog! I started the blog on 26th April 2006, and between the time I started counting visitors in November till I changed the layout, we managed to get over 3,000 hits, and visitors from nearly 40 different countries!
So now I need your suggestions on how I can make not only the blog, but also the whole site better. Because somehow, I don't feel that it's all been helpful enough. Of course, that's likely to be due to procrastination, but still, I need to have some honest opinions please.

I have a special affection for your blog because it was one of my encounters with other Duckula fans, being my first ones your fanart gallery and Shy’s fanfiction. I have been a Duckula fan for so long; I used to dive through the Internet looking for Duckyboos unsuccessfully until the day I had found about you two, it was like a miracle. In your blog I found a lot of info and also scans of the comics! Moreover, the blog was just the first step of your projects. Congrats, keep the good working! •I think that the blog looks perfect, the layouts, the colours and the new picture of Ducky you added are great! About the site: •The Guestbook still needs some Duckula frame or images. •I love the forum but I feel it needs more Duckula related stuff, more dark colours, Duckula emoticons would be possible? •Perhaps the site could have gothic fonts to keep the dark atmosphere. •If there is something I could do, I will be pleased to help. Thank you very much for sharing Count Duckula with us and for bring my childhood back ;D

Thank you Lourdes, I'm really happy to see that you're satisfied with the project It's the support from people like you that will hopefully make Duckyboos better. * Yeah, it does. Dreambook as some really old HTML in it though, and it's a right old pain to put CSS into it since it doesn't support it. I guess I can stick images into it via Photobucket though. I even tried embedding the code into a page with my site layout, but I'm not sure if that'll work in the long run so I didn't test it. * That too. I don't really like its default colours much, so maybe when I actually get round to it I'll pick some darker, more gothic colours and add a few more decorations. I can easily make little Duckula icons and replace these crappy proboards icons with better ones, like I did with the current emoticons. * Hmm...I suppose gothic fonts might work for titles and that as I done with the News Archive, but not for content text. I'm gonna have to review the whole site layout and make it look a bit more original. I like the colour scheme and all, but right now it kinda looks like I've been sticking random images from google into place [all the images I used for graphics were from scans]. I made a start though with the image in the blog menu I suppose. My site needs a lot more than that though. The blog's design is still in the middle of redecoration anyways .

I don't think dark colors or gothic stuff would fit the show's atmosphere. I'd rather see some green / orange artwork like on the website.

I disagree - the show was (generally) dark and black and very spooky. Something I believe all the merchendise people completely overlook.
