Can anyone give me some web site design advice?

(I orignally posted part of this on Lugnet.general, but was directed here)

Although I'm a programmer by trade, I actually blew off the whole web site
thing until I really got the urge to share my LEGO creations.

With a little learning, I've managed to put together my site
(http://members.home.net/bhamilto1/).

However, I still feel like I have a lot to learn.

- Do people actually read text and descriptions, or do you go right for the
pictures?  I tend to be a picture person myself, but do get a lot of
enjoyment when I occasionally read other peoples descriptions.
- Do people like to see the pictures organized by subject matter or just a
raw image directory?
- Do guest books make any sense?  I put one in a few weeks ago and about 150
people have visited.  Only one person left anything in the guest book.

Does anyone have opinions/advice on these issues.  Any comments or
suggestions on the layout of my site?

thanks

(...) I usually go for images and if I like them I move on to the text. I'll read building details and short stories. I only read the short stories when they are what I think of as LEGO cartoons, pictures with two to three sentence subtitles per (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

Just started looking at your site, and I like what I have seen so far. I take it you built your site at 1024x whatever resolution? You are not the only one who posts big beautiful pictures, but it does make it difficult for those of us at 800x600 (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
