This site was very useful to me.  The entire site is dedicated to the art of theatrical and film special effects.  The authors of the site are nationally known as experts in the creation and maintenance of haunted houses.  The above mentioned link is a section dedicated to their collection of books.  The materials include film, TV, theatre, haunted houses, and many more areas.  The books are reasonably priced in comparison to Barnes and Nobles Http://www.bn.com  One of the books on this list is the preferred book for ECU’s Theatre and Dance Department Makeup class and its accompanying lab.  The professor for this class has turned down the latest four versions that have come out for this book.  This site holds with this decision.  The site management gives all necessary information quickly by brightly colored links.  The site does lack in ease of ordering, without direct links to purchasing on the book list page.  The full site is a great resource for demonstrating the wide reaching variety in theatrical occupations.  Overall I give the site an 8 out of 10.

            This site on a first glance is set up with ease in mind.  I noticed quickly that the site has a great deal of annoying qualities.  For example, the site is based on the angelfire server.  This server always has a pop up window appear every time you open a page on their server.  Most servers have an option to avoid this messiness by having a log for their server near the top of the page or a floating transparent watermark.  The second issue, I discovered, was the fact that 80% of this site’s links are no longer valid.  There is nothing more annoying than web data that is posted and left for dead... driftwood throughout eternity.  Proof your pages!  The site was a breeze to surf through.  I enjoyed reading his resume and finding out a little tidbit of information.  I had hoped for more lesson plans, but the majority of the links in his main link area actually worked.  These links were a great aide.  Overall I give this site a 6 out of 10.
