| Could someone look at this page and tell me if the way I set up my digital
images look ok., or what I could do to improve it. I know the top of my
pages are lacking a banner of type but haven't figured out what to put up
there. I don't have a lot of 'artistic flair'.
TIA

The images are fine, as is the design. The thumbnails though are not. They
should be resized in your image software, not by the browser. Browsers
usually do a bad job of resizing images.
As it is you have six "thumbnails" at about 20K each, that's 120K, slow on
dialup. A real thumbnail would be only 1 or 2 K.
Other things:
Red on dark grey is very hard to read.
Don't use images of text (your menu), use real text. Images cannot be
resized by the user and you run into accessibility problems. Your image size
coupled with my eyes and my screen make it almost impossible for me to read
them.
Why transitional? Plus, the lack of a DTD url in the doctype will trigger
quirks mode in certain browsers.
Those dreamweaver image changers are nice but they only work with IE, and
you have left the dreamweaver cargo cult stuff in there:
Use <script type="text/javascript">
and do not use the HTML comments inside the script element.
Cheers
Richard.

===================================================
Can you expand on the above comment about the script type? I don't know
what you mean and where I should be changing it.
Also what should I be putting for the doctype?
===================================================
TIA for your help

Hmmm. Nobody has got back to you in my absense.
I can't seem to access your site at the moment but from memory you had:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
The language attribute has been deprecated. The type attribute is now
required. So you should replace
<script language="javascript">
with
<script type="text/javascript">
The HTML comments (the <!-- bit above) is a cargo cult phenomenon originally
used to hide javascript from browsers that did not understand the script
element. These browsers are all pre "version 4" browsers and are now
obsolete, being totally unsuitable for use with any current web site. Delete
this, and the corresponding //-->.
Then again, this is dreamweaver putting this stuff in there for you. A far
better thing to do is to delete dreamweaver and to code the HTML and CSS
yourself. You will do a better job than any program can.
Cheers
Richard.
