I just finished redoing and updating my website since I hadnt done that in a while, and it needed a few fixes. You can see it through the link in my signature. I have a lot of stuff on there. If you like, let me know what you think of it or if you have any suggestions for the text, or if it is good as it is (I spend a long time on the little bit of text there is). Enjoy! :)

Hey David,

I took a screen shot of how your site comes up on my computer using Win XP and Firefox as my browser. Things aren't lining up.

Everything seems to be alinged fine when I view the site using Internet Explorer.

Overall, I like the look of the site. One thing I don't like is how I have to use the back button to view another pic. I would like to see a previous & next button so I can go right to the next image in your gallery, instead of going back to the index page, and clicking on another photo. Other than that, I think it looks pretty good.

I'm by no means a web designer, but I think you have a pretty good start.

Thanks for noticing that error with the widescreen on firefox. I'll see that I can fix that. I'm no web designer either. :p It would be nice to have a back and next button for the photos, but I'm not sure how I would do that since the photos are being linked from my photobucket account where everything is kept. The only way I could do that is if I made a lot of individual pages, I think.. it's something to think about.

Yes, the freerideing shots are mostly from Galbraith and my woods at my house.

I fixed the home page so that it should line up. Let me know if it doesnt. Thanks again for letting me know about that. Was it only the home page doing that, or did others do that too?

Yup, looks good now.

Do you have Photoshop? Photoshop has some built in web galleries that you could us on your site. I used them to create the galleries on my site, then I built the rest of the page around it. Basically all you have to do is select the photos you want in a gallery, select the gallery layout that you like and PS does the rest. Something to consider.

Nope, I don't have photoshop, but I'll see what I can do sometime about the galleries.

David,

I like the style and some really nice photos.

On the landscape page I get a line of photos on the 4th row which go off the page rather than sit in the border for the thumbnails.

I saw that long row earlier in IE and it should be fixed now. I'll check again tomorrow to see if it is looking good.
