| No -- in fact they're too dark -- some just look like black rectangles |

So I've finally put up a new website, and it's in good enough condition right now to ask for some crits, so:
http://students.cec.wustl.edu/~jd1/home.html
Design:
How can I take it farther? Should I change the front page? Is it effective? Is there a better way for me to design the subpages? Do the images look washed out with YOUR monitor settings?
Content:
Is there something I'm forgetting? Should I consider adding something else? Take something off?
How do you like the art?
Does the Resume look alright? How can I improve it?
Should I get rid of the About me page?

Yes, all of the stuff in the 2d section looks kind of washed out. Are you shooting your art with a digital camera or scanning it? Well either way, adjusting the contrast on the image file before you post it could probably take care of this problem.

how many ppl do you know with a portrait monitor? once i hit the art button (which should show that its a button, not just a click and pray) it goes from your approx 8x6 splash to something which i have to scroll up and down to look @ even on my 1600x1200 res..) try making the content so its useable on say the smallest monitor setting ppl might use today , 800x600 some ppl still use 640x480 but they are so few its not worth worrying about..
keep working on it 
i didn't have any trouble with your pics btw.. |

Thanks guys for the input 
Inspector Lee - yeah. I adjusted all of my images so that they'd look good with Windows default gamma settings (which is why they look washed out to you) -- but it just recently occured to me that most people don't actually use them (I got a few people here at the forum complaining that my images are too dark, so i adjusted them for windows default). Trouble is, I'm not sure what percentage of normal webviewers ARE using those settings -- hence the poll.
B0b - Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. To be honest, I'm not that worried about people having to scroll up and down -- but do you have to scroll left and right?
