The links section has been redesigned.

The best banner in the whole site; gotta love that facial expression of hers .

Thank you. I love the photo, as well.

I'm trying to find different color schemes for the subcategories to make them look more individual and distinctive.
There are still a few categories that need some revamping, especially because I want to make the font a bit bigger.

You're welcome Christina . And I think I get what you're saying me about remodeling the site's sections. Are you remodeling all of them or just some particular ones? If I got you correctly, you're trying to redefine the aesthetic relationship between letter font, color and image banner in each section. And I find it interesting, since it makes the site more appealing and also more cohesent.

For example, if you want an idea I had (you're not asking for one but I thought it'd be nice to share); if you're remodeling the ''Contact'' section, you could use the Perou portrait used for Q Magazine earlier this year where she's holding a telephone, a good analogy I may say. I have it without any of the magazine things, the original, so if you need it for any of the banners, just tell me (though you may already have it).

About the colors stuff, you're using or very light and animated colors (see Orange), or dark ones (see Blue), making a beautiful contrast. For the fonts, what you've done is nice, bigger ones with some figure designs in the pictures. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the page turns out to be .

Thank you for your suggestions, Emilio.

I'm probably going to remodel all of the sections, bit by bit. The development of the website (especially the design) has always been a gradual and continuous process. It's never finished.
The page has been through a lot of changes over the years. In the beginning, when the site was still fairly small, it seemed appropriate to have one layout for all the pages and sections. But now it's like every subcategory has developed a life of its own and it's a bit unnatural not to give them all one layout, not only because of their size but because it makes them more distinctive .
