RT@achewood Would The Pet Shop Boys be nice to have over for Thanksgiving, or would they be a pain in the ass? It's really hard to tell.

Please check out these sample pages and tell me what you think.  Do you like the design?  Do you see any serious flaws in the code I should be concerned about?

Looks pretty good to me. The pink-and-black background is a little busy, but it has relatively little real estate, so it doesn't distract too much.

Great job Paul!  I esp. like the colour commentary under each pic from you and your bud.  Very nice.

I need opinions people.  My site couldn't be that good.  You ripped that other guy a new one.

I have a question in regards to the thumbnails pages.  I am actually presenting six different slide shows.  Should I keep the thumbnail page sections as seperate entities or link them all into one?  D'ya know what I mean?  I don't know how many thumbnail pages there will be, but the first section has maybe 5 pages. Should I show links to only the 5 pages from that section or list 'em all.  Whereby if they clicked on page 6 for instance they would actually be clicking into the next section.  I want to make it simple, I don't want people getting lost.

Also, I've only tested it in IE and firefox.  Has anyone had any issues with another browser?

In response to V, i'm normally not a fan of loud backgrounds, but what you are seeing is the detail from one of the cars.  The people who will be viewing these pages will recognize it and I think they will find it appealing.

Oh, is that what the deal is? That's awesome, then.

As for the ripping -- I just really like it, is all. It's a fairly plain site layout, but it works and is nice to look at. Plus there's actual content, unlike bdeth dot com's page. So there.

sorry paul, i enjoy your website, and being a very critical person, who worked as an editor on two separate occasions, i can usually tell you what is wrong with something very quickly and easily, in your case however, all i can tell you is that is looks very good.  i have no interest what so ever in gimic cars, but if this were an actual site, i would go.  it has a personality and a nice flow.  we like you, we really like you.

Sometime last year I abandoned this project, but at the insistance of one of my friends I revived it and finally it's finished (or as finished as it's gonna get).

My 2005 Houston Artcar Parade Photos.

Thank you Jough for the help.

I really like the "you with camera" and the lady on the top.
