That scrolling thing

Hi Michelle - normally I don't jump in to critique pages, but I have to go
with howardm on this. Nothing is a no-no unless it's a nuclear weapon, IMO.
I've been seeing more and more horizontal scroll on pages that are
galleries, etc., and I like it - it's a bit different and I pay more
attention - plus it uses different muscles on my mouse wrist and that's a
good bit of therapy in itself. We're looking at designing a horizontal site
for a new client...

I'm with howardm, though - the other pages I've seen do not scroll both
ways. If the pic was maybe reduced a bit - or something. Looks like a bit of
rearranging - but it could be done. Great colors - a good balance with warm
and cool colors - might want to include quotes around the text. And you run
right into the right side on the end. Put a bit of a buffer there for the
right scroll bar.

IE5 on 800x600, btw. Now at 1024x768 it was gorgeous.

Nice.
