Merged. Still advertising the same site, but you added another.
Your site is okay. Black and red is an okay theme, but red really contrasts. Contrast is good in some cases, but since you're using a free host and there are ads that already contrast with the theme (marketing technique), then it's not a very good idea to add more contrast.
Overall, the choice of themes are good. I'm not saying I don't like them, I'm just saying it's a little hard on the eyes when you have to focus on so many contrasting things.
Same goes for your friends site, only I think the design is a little too... chunky? Yours looks cleaner. Still, his is easier to navigate.
I think you should both work on your header images. Maybe blend the edges so that they fade into the background so they don't look like they were just slapped up there.
Good job to the both of you, keep it up. :>
