Bryce - what is the creation you are wearing as a hat - is it the
rack? Interesting use of Lego anyway...
I like the site - however I noted some links are target blank, and
others arent. I would generally say to make sure external links out to
brickshelf be target blank, and internal links probably shouldnt be.
Also - you may want to rescale/resample the smaller scaled menu labels
for the galleries - there are some artifacts (jaggies) on them that
could be eliminate by better anti-aliasing. Despite that - it is a
good site - please take my notes as advice/suggestions not
complaints...
