Jeffery, Just took a look at your changes. The site is coming along nicely. :) One thing I will add. The opening page is centered on the screen. When opening the thumbnail galleries, they snap to the left. From there opening a single photo, the photo loads centered. The right/left, left/right

Thanks for the heads up. I forgot to center align the master page that I was using for the gallery pages (thumbnail pages). I think I got it fixed. I also used www.tinyurl.com to make a smaller url for the copyright page. I hope that is now fixed as well. Thanks again for the comments, Kent.

How about having the up arrow on the photo take you to the thumbnail gallery, and then have the up arrow on the gallery take you back to the index page? If I can find a little home icon, that might be the best thing to do, with the up arrow going back to a gallery. Regards, Jeffery

You're not using icons, only caret arrows so far. How about one up arrow on the left going up one level and ^h on the right to bring back to the site top page from no matter where you are? That keeps it to a minimalism. G On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 2:02 PM, Jeffery Smith jsmith...@gmail.com
