Re: Please critique educational mineral site

http://www.minerals.net/

Good loading time!  

I really enjoyed the clean graphics and easy to navigate links.

One point I came across on the initial page was the circular layout of
the areas.  
Mostly I was wondering about the Welcome to the M&GK text and the M&GK
is an educational guide section.  Perhaps combining these two would
alleviate some space and bring the Welcoming info to the center of the
page, the most bare.

Secondly, the optimal viewing section.  Is this section really as
important as the Minerals and does it deserve such a grand display, or
is it something that maybe should go down by the copyright section?  I
found it distracting from the topic.  

Lastly, I'm on the second picture wagon too.  Maybe drop the larger
opening picture and place the navigation links there?

I really liked the troubleshooting section.  It's nice to see a site
that takes the time to tell why somethings may not be working properly
and gives solutions.  Nice touch.

Please excuse the wanderings, I inhaled more than my share of diesel
fumes working with the Navy this weekend. :-)
Good luck,
Mike
