Thanks Matt! I think the elimination of the header-images really made the
continuity a lot better. Those were some of the pictures I'd taken when I
was first buiding my site and they weren't of the highest quality.

Glad to hear this from someone else. I wasn't sure (when building my site)
if anyone would want that much navigation, but I guess more is always
better. That'll be one of the first things I'll change on my site when I
get the time. Oh and I forgot to mention in my original post that I'll
probably be adding an About Me section and maybe a few other new sections
very soon.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun getting to see all these kids' MOCs and "being the
master of all that is LEGO". But it's pretty hard getting the creations to
not clash, since most of them are a myriad of colors. Still, the display
looks VERY legoish, and a lot better than it did a few years ago.
