    Hey guys, thanks for the input on the webpage. I decided to go with an html page with a java gallery. I have the basic layout of the main page done. Take a look and let me know what you guys think I should change. Thanks again.

    Hey Guys!

    I just updated my portfolio site. Let me know what you guys think. Also if there are any html guru's out there. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can tell me why the bottom bar stays centered in Google Chrome and Firefox but it isn't centered in Internet Explorer. Thanks!

    We love you HP. It's okay. We forgive you.

    Anyway, the website is still laid out in a very unintuitive manner. You don't need a background image, you don't need iFrames, you don't need the thumbnails at the bottom and you don't need links to each individual project along the top of the page when you already have links to them in the main body. Everything is so excessive at the moment that I think you're trying too hard and, as a result, everything looks very messy and unappealing. When I look at it, I'm not drawn towards anything in particular, I just see a huge mass of text and images!

    I'd start it from scratch, to be honest. As people have recommended, you should use some blogging software like Wordpress. Oh, and you should read this thread as well.

    From your CryEngine page:

    Quote

    Various works created with the CryEngine Sandbox Editor, which were lost due to a virus.

    I don't think you should mention that. It's a negative point, which you should always avoid unless you can turn it into a positive. It's unlikely that anyone will specifically ask to play your CryEngine levels so there is no need to cover that base.

    Make the links at the top a lighter color, shouldn't have to rollover them to read them (or even see they are there). And the screenshots bar at the bottom feels out of place (and it's not working for me, using Chrome). Most of your pages just have one or two sentences and then a huge blank space, why not merge content onto a single page instead of having two navs at the top and another one at the bottom when all the content could be in one place? Site seems a bit too thinly distributed.
