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.

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 picture.

- Do people like to see the pictures organized by subject matter or just a
raw image directory?

Organized. With thumbnails.

- 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.

Eh, I am not that big on guest books. I rarely sign one. Email links are good.
If inspired I click on the email link.

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

thanks
