My first free site needs a review.

What JackDaniel's said plus your photos are completly out of order (not to mention they are quiet huge).
Starting your career with such free content is not best idea either - you will get much better results if you spent few bucks for your own content

Your site breaks horribly in any decent browser - don't even think about IE and decent in the same thought pattern. The two words are mutually exclusive.

FF has more than one third of the browser market now. My stats are showing visitor levels way over that, which is why I design for compliance then fix for IE later. Believe me, it is a lot easier that way round. Design for IE then fix for compliant and you are fucked.

There is something quite odd going on there. Your thumbs don't appear in IE, but the site looks fine in Firefox. That's a new one to me. Probably some type of .htaccess referrer issue.

Outside the images being out of order, (and missing in IE) it's fine by my every-changing standards.

BTW, my stats tell me that Firefox demands less than one quarter of the market - and my stats are the only ones that matter.

IE is 65%+. Safari is around 4-5% and probably growing as more and more users switch to fruit.

Yes, it looks a lot better. Whatever was broke, you fixed it quick. I'm looking in FF by the way.

Hmm. Getting the same as UW in IE6. Source code says there are height and width attributes on the image tags without values. Nothing else stands out, but it's 3.30 a.m. here and the brain isn't functioning on all cylinders.

New to you UW? Not heard of IE breaking perfectly good web sites? Now that is new.

Good to hear about Safari, UW. I don't have it but have heard it's great. Is a Linux version available yet?

You're one of those Firefox snobs, aren't you? Firefox is, by the way, my browser of choice.

Images disappearing in one browser while existing fine in another is new to me - yes. Things generally laying out differently in IE as opposed to Firefox is not new to me though. I've given up caring about which is at fault and find it more fruitful to seek hacks which appease each of them.

ouch, what a shame|shocking|. I've tested layout in IE before placing the thumbs. But now everything should be ok.

I've replaced blind links also.
I don't use keywords meta tag since google don't care them, so it's waste of time imo. Except description tag, which is used in serp.

I wanted to start at minimum cost, so I used promo content. I've planned to purchase some fresh content after first signups & first bucks. Maybe I should have chose less saturated sponsor?

Thanks for helping me
