Hey guys I've been away for what seems like forever. I am currently working on a website for a non profit organization for a web design class. This is supposed to be a 3 to 4 person project, but I for some reason got stuck with only one partner and she is a complete fucking retard. I gave her one simple thing to do...make a calendar to put onthe website. That was months ago...ARGGGH!!!! Anyways can you guys do me a favor and just check over what I have, point out any mistakes or something you would change or plain just don't like.

The class is using dreamweaver, but I told the teacher I refuse to use it and went with notepad. So if my source code looks unorganized thats why. Any suggestions or error you find would be greatly appreciated.

(Also I'm stll working on the links and contact page, and if anyone can help me get a .gif of the pdf's onto the page underneath the logo I would be greatly appreciative.) Sorry for my first post in awhile to be asking for help.

The icon you used for your picture folders is pretty crappy, and I think you need to number the pictures somehow so I know how many I am actually sifting through, maybe writing 1/23, 2/23, 3/23, etc in the bottom corner where it says test. But I do like the picture viewer function. And the site as a whole is very clean and easy to navigate. Good job.

Well those folders I made in Photoshop. Once the site is approved everything is getting moved to Drupal so there will probably be a better way to symbolize that, at the moment though it works. (I don't like them either and yea I gotta go through all the pictures and add captions still, thanks for bringing that to my attention)

Douche,

I would create a DIV container around all of the contenet that is displayed inside the document. It would go around header-wrapper, page, and footer. It would go inside BODY.

Code:

I would use DisplayedContent to create a darker or lighter background behind the center of the page. This would offset the feeling that everything is floating around in space.

Also, can you be more specific about what you need for the .gif for the pdf? I don't quite understand what you were looking for.

In the forests table when you click on the name of the Tract it takes you to a page with information about the tract. On those pages there is a link to a pdf file. I have a thumbnail of the pdfs but I need a good place to put them on the page.
