Im redoing my site/portfolio and am wondering if the navigation, specificly the thumbnails are obvious to everyone. does is need to read "click thumbnails above" or something stupid like that?

Or any other observations you might have, note: i still need to nix the mismatching colors ect.

thanks
ted

you REALLY need frame for your website, cause every time i click on a new page. 20 items have to reload again, very anoying. Other than that , your art is amazing!

Your artwork is wonderful... very cool...

Did you design your site? If you understand how to use HTML and Javascript... get into the use of included javascript files to control thumbnails and their subsequent larger displays. For example, my site, eyewoo.com is totally controled by a single javascript file. To add or remove a thumbnail and its associated image file in any section takes about 30 seconds. To add or remove a section takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Javascript rules!!!

I hate Java. Eyewoo, that java script you're using is responsible for the following message I get off your site sometimes:

[cut and pasted]

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

The request line contained invalid characters following the protocol string.

Seems that it works fine under IE, but goofs on Netscape sometimes.

theo - looks good, man. Nothing wrong with simple. What happened to the redandorange.com domain?

Hey Theo, I think the site looks great. It's not too simple at all. Geez, compared to mine yours is overloaded with graphics. The artwork looks great, too. There were a few pieces I hadn't seen before. The one thing I noticed was that the background on some of the graphics, like the mask on the front page, doesn't blend with the background of your page. I'm using IE6, btw. Maybe you should consider making some of the graphics have transparent bg's?

id change the bg of the the top to duotone, and make sure it blends properly at the right. id also border the thumbs. on the other hand, maybe its perfectly fine. this is grreenpeach right? those masks and skulls pic is the best pic in the world!

I only know basic html, so I'm having a friend help me with the site. I'm not sure how it is put together as far as frames and java ect but he is using director to put it together and he said that I would be able to very easily udate the thumbs and images.

Bang, im surprised it was loading slowly for you, do you have a hi speed conect?

eyewoo, thanks alot, you're a good painter.

jr, thanks

pat, glad you like it, I'm going to be using galaday.com (my name) but I havent quite got it up yet.

Sedone, thanks alot, i'm sure I've told you I'm a fan. Those mismatched colors are on my list of things to do.
