Not bad! Like the colors, good use of stylesheet, points for not nesting tables anywhere, I like the fact that you have creation/modification dates on your pages.

Instead of that "-----------" you have beneath the word "Navigation", you might want to try an <HR width="75%">. Just a thought.

[EDIT: You gotta get some shots of mowing over crowds in GTA on you screenshots page... ;)]

i dont know how.

thumbnail is just a smaller version of the same image. just save the image at a smaller resolution.
but its nice for a noob site. i also like the color scheme--good to see that you're sticking to a few selections.

thanks for the advise. i have photoshop but resizing all those images sounds like a lot of work. what are the advantages to thumbnails as opposed to resizing them?

resizing them isn't a lot of work, either by hand or w/ a macro. By resizing them the page will load plenty faster because the end user is downloading smaller versions of the pictures instead of the full size ones.

photoshop can do it automatically, you can open it up, set up a directory, have photoshop open all the files in that directory, and save them to another directory.

i dont remember the steps though.

I think it looks great. I didn't look at the source code or anything, but it's simple and elegant looking.

its for a html class. i made them thumbnails now.

the class requires you to make a page from scratch in notepad. it also requires certain things like a form (survey) and outside links and crap. glad you guys like it. :D

What's wrong with nesting tables?

make all the text the same color for consistency. I would use white like on the main page (the text on the pictures page is black, harder to read)
