Layout-wise

avatarThis layout will flow around the screen - its structured with divs. The dropdown menu transparancies are the main feature here (although, for some odd reason, AOL dosn't show them at all. But AOL is close kin to IE, in my opinion. And IE is quirky. It shows the meues at different spaceing and transparancy, but those got taken into account...AOL doesn't have any 'AOL only hacks' like IEto work around the issue, unfortunatly... ) I suppose that's not really my problem though - the code for that part of the site was generated by a lovely freeware program made by Andy Tandler. I couldn't have done that part myself by hand at this stage (maybe a few years) Its a wonderful thing. It will make useing this layout as your own a touch more difficult, but not a whole lot. Just have to remember that the navigation is a list.

The photos for this are part of a series of shoots I did at one point. One day I'll get around to posting them. Or rather, all my photos. I should have a photo portfolio or something. (Definitly going to have one by the end of this year - doing old school black and white film, developing it all by hand....so much fun! =)

avatarThis layout is for 600 by 800 screens and up. It resizes as needed, though if you add a bunch of dropdowns you'll get a horizontal scrollbar at smaller screen sizes. I really like how this layout turned out, and hope you do too.
