I just finished putting together a new webpage that includes updated versions of a few of my games, some other stuff, and even a new game, but it's not very far into developement yet, so don't expect much from it. the url is kurtp2003.googlepages.com |

The minimlistic look to the site (along with the colour scheme) is appealing. I would add small 'widescreen'(32x128) thumbnails of your programs however to break up the text and attrach the users towards downloading them. |

That's not a bad idea. I'll get on it right away. |

When you create an image, make sure it has a small, thin border around it (like my profile picture to the left) to divide it up a bit more as well. |

The thumbnails should be used on the right hand side menu right above the zip file to download it. When clicking on the picture it should expand to a larger one. Having your 'Top 3' programs you want the most attention to in the main center of the page is good. I would bold and enlargen the titles of the programs a bit more however, let them stick out a bit. This way people see "Ping!" and the picture of Ping and then the information about Ping. I wouldn't use *.bmp file format for the pictures (takes forever to load), try and use a different image format (like *.jpg or *.png) which retains image quality but alot smaller (making it faster to download and few). |
