Not any more ;)... I have now finished page one, except notes which would be
on going. I'm moving onto page two now, so the Gallery's 1st page should be
more up to your standards ;)... I hope :P
I must say... *apart from the obvious*... I am not nor do I see myself as a
computer/web site wiz... But I will get there... eventually ;)

I have many people emailing me, also saying it's a cool/nice/neat/great idea
etc and that's great. It's nice to have some encouragment like that. There
will be many things on the site once I learn more and get more going... but
don't forget, it's still heavily under construction.
Well... I have stated in the notes that it maybe a 50 in general or by
rank... this doesn't have to be chosen by me. But I was thinking of finding
a voting system to attatch to it, one that is visable for all to see... any
suggestions?
