Re: Summer Camp site

Hey there Jason -

Just a couple of things...
First off, on your question about the servers...the way you have it
currently is fine...crosswinds.net is notoriously slow, but on the other
hand they give you an unlimited amount of space...so serving up the pages
from angelfire and then linking to the images works fine, IMO. BTW - on the
subject of images, while they are indeed nice, I think the number of
pictures you have could be reduced just a wee bit - I opened up the
"pictures" page and then one of the links within and was taken aback back by
the huge lists...I'd suggest trimming down the number and then using
clickable thumbnails of the images that you keep with better decriptions of
what the picture is of. (also, include a link back from the page which has
the image on it - you just have the image and that's it - might confuse some
people)

Overall though, I like the design and such, but I would like to say, IMO,
that your front page is a tad sparse - maybe a general overview of what the
camp is about, the lyrics to the camp's theme song, a good picture (but one
that loads quickly) or something of that nature: just anything besides a
simple list of links being the first thing the user sees...

Just my 2 cents - good luck!
