If you have 5 mins I would appreciate your views on an update to my site.
i have a lot of content to add but generally it will follow this design.
What i aimed for is a small, clean and to the point site.
Cheers,

Very unusual layout which is good. I like it. The only thing is that the contrast is bit too low between the light grey background and the darker grey type. You may want to increase the difference a bit.
Did you just say cute?!?!?! hehehe
The look is very cool, but is it possible to have it all centered within the browser? It seems cramped, all up in the top left corner.

Thanks for the positive response.
Ivan, I've taken the text colour up to the next level - better?
Mississauga, I know what you mean about it possibly being better centered but i use layers/ divs and i had problems with the layer positioning in some browsers.
This was seems to work best.
Cheers guys.

Here's some CSS I use to center my site (In IE6, FF, O, Safari etc.)
<br /> #divthatyouwanttocenter {<br /> width: 100px;<br /> margin-left: -50px;<br /> left: 50%;<br /> position: absolute;<br /> }<br />The way it works is that the "margin-left" is negitave 1/2 of the width, then you make the "left" 50%. That centers it! (You can center vertically too, if you define the height and have a margin-top negitave 1/2 of that and make the "top" 50%.)
Hope this helps!
CSS is awesome. :c)
I was hoping someone would provide a suggestion. The site would benefit from centering. Thanks!
Give it a try, digilee.
Alec
Seems to work, thanks loads.
Only change I made was to make margin-left: -200px; as -50px didn't center the div enough. In fact having the div set at -200 offset it slightly which looks a bit better to me.
I haven't managed to test this everywhere so if it seems strange to you, let me know what browser/ platform etc.

margin-left has to be negitave 1/2 of whatever the width of the div is. See how it works? You're telling the browser that the margin for the left side is actually in the middle of the divider, then you say to put that margin in the center of the page, or 50% away from the left side. Pretty neat.
The site looks a lot better by the way! Good job.
... looks great on Safari under OS 10.4.1.

thanks guys.
lots of extra work being uploaded, man I've done tons of projects over my tens years in this industry!!
once i have uploaded a load more i might start to get problems with the thumbnail row. I'll see what I have to do then.

He said CUTE!!
My only comment - because the site is really good! - is that the following type should be organized... (the information following the thumbnails). It looks a little out of place.
