Hello all,

I know I mentioned it briefly in previous posts that I was working on my new brand. Well, it is done. I am:

"The Urban Gentleman"

And the new website is http://thevoiceofcool.com cool

I posted this here, because I wasn't really looking for critiques (although they are still welcome.) One thing I will say is that the "iPod" will be smaller. It's a bit too big right now. Other than that, it's what I'm sticking with for now.

I must thank certain members of this board for helping me come up with the brand. "Urban" and "gentleman" were both terms that were used to describe me and my voice and I used them because of that. So thank you!

Couldn't go the a more worthy man.
I like the Urban Gentleman idea.

Now you have to keep up your appearances!

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I dont know where I am goin to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I dont need a reason why.
They come runnin just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I aint missin a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin,
When I step out Im gonna do you in.
They come runnin just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,
I dont worry coz my wallets fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin sharp and lookin for love.
They come runnin just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man.

Bwah!
That's what I get for copy-and-pasting.

If I had written it all out myself, you can bet I'd've hypenated all those "sharp-dressed man"s.

Looks great sir, but the only thing I'm concerned about is that all of your text are actually pictures so search engines might not list you very high since you only have your meta description to describe your site. You should get your site designer to also add meta keywords to help that.

Oh, and if you want to get rid of the "Click here to activate" for IE users, PM me.

Thank you all very much for the kind words. Believe me, the brand and site design are the products of about 3 months of brainstorming and frustration. However, I'm very pleased with the results.
