Thanks Brad! Yes it is going to be a massive endevor! I figure if I put in 3 hours a day after work every morning I might get everything photo graphed withing 2 weeks, then I can adjust the pictures and start makeing the photo album pages for each section. I am tired just thinking about it! LOL!!!

Took a look at your site, looks really really good! I love the new headers at the top! AWESOME!

Awesome website Bradley!
I used the top banner of your page to change the old one I had on my
links page, I hope you don't mind.

Yeah Freddy has a good site as well, too bad you can't see it in Firefox

Goodluck. Sounds like a large task, I'm glad I don't have to photograph every item all over again. You're good to be working with xhtml and css.. I only know... or should I say knew, lol, basic html. Never really enjoyed learning css. I use Microsoft Frontpage and Photoshop/image ready. My update took a few months of working on, and I tried to change as little as possible so I didn't have to re-create every page. So kept the same layout, just changed banners and colours etc. Still took a lot of work, every time I was happy with it, I decided I didn't like it and ended up changing it again.

AWESOME!!!

I learned css with the copy and paste technique like they told me at uni.

Looks great!

Looks great!

Thanks Chris! I just discovered a new kind of gallery and added it today. It is a bit of work and all with thumbnails and code but the effect is worth it! I am going to enjoy doing the collection pics now just to see the gallery reaction.

I like that gallery feature as well! I've seen a few websites use that like news websites. Works well!

YEA!! The initial layout is finally finished and I can now start working on the pictures of my collection!! I had some problems with the layout and the menu, and also the video on the index page, but now it is all fixed and running smoothly, and in all browsers!! Learning this hand code stuff for the new XHTML and CSS is hard business, but the way it looks definately made it worth it!!! I am really proud of my navigation menu and the video! They are sooooo smurfy!!
