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.
