I have just put the finishing touches on my site revamp and I need your
opinions and suggestions.

First off I need to tell you that I used cascading style sheets (CSS). If
you are not familiar with CSS it's a type of html 'language' I guess would
be the best way to describe it. It works only with certain browers. So if
you're still rocking in ancient IE or Netscape, it will not be pretty.
Second I have Flash animation. Not alot, this was my first attemp at it so
it's all really simple. You need to have the pluglin to view my site.

Here it is:
http://www.ozbricks.com/legostuff/enter.html

My goals for this revamp was to place more focus on my creations and less on
the graphics of the site. v1.0 had too many .jpgs and loaded much too slow.
I trimmed all the graphics to a minimum and tried to amp up the loading time
so you see what you want faster. Also v1.0 navigation sucked. I knew that I
tried to compensated with links galore and easy to follow site map.

Now what I ask you is if you could please venture to the site and check for
any oddities, bad links or point out any annoying things. My major concern
is the viewing of MOC images. I have them set now to pop-up in a new browser
and you just toggle between the site and image. Or would you rather have the
image load in the same screen and after viewing hit the 'back' button on
your browser?

Thanks for looking and for any comments!

Tony, it looks fantastic. This just keeps reminding me how much I need to work on my site.

Tony - The site looks great! I haven't seen the toy store yet, that's hilarious! I love all the space versions of real life facilities such as these stores and such that people make. Very creative! Keep up the good work, I love your MOCs. -Tim (21 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Everything looks great. The only thing I don't like is that the images pop-up in another window. I personally perfer to view images in the same window and use the back button, but that's just me. Jason (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

This looks incredible Tony. Not only is the Flash beautiful, but it compliments the site rather than overpowering it. The presentation is clean and pro, the navigation easy, and of course the content rocks as always. Viewing it on XPpro thru a 56.6k (...)
