Okay, to clarify, I'm a guy--sorry for the confusion... and yes, I AM
humbly a high school junior! : } And yes, Sandstorm Publishing is my little
bit of a webdesign company that I started over the summer--get this: I'd
never been on the web before last spring!!

Some info on that--I am the "webmaster" at my school. It's not much of a
title, but all the seniors who were in charge of the site last year left
and so I decided I'd do something and take over... It's a difficult task
because I have plenty of "grand-scale" ideas but only a few people
helping... Check out the site at:

I think I can fix that! Did you by any chance try out the pop-up Viewer
Windows? I'm not sure if they're very useful, but I figured if you couldn't
view an image in its entirety (resolution, browser clutter, etc), you could
open up another window to view the picture more fully.

I see your point... any suggestions? I'd like it to sound somehow private,
perhaps cluttered, but inviting, and offering something of a treasure trove
of goodies to search through... Got anything to fit the bill? : )

Thanks! I appreciate all the positive feedback! I looked at my site again
today and had some doubts... I'll alert the list when I update it with
anything significant!

Thanks again,

Chris
