I am going to stop tweaking this thing for now. Enough all ready...It is driving me crazy. I fixed the "tiling" problem by creating a very small image of the blue background. I also created my own parchment from an old map so I feel like is more my own stuff now. I have a tacit understanding of good design and I just keep seeing problems with mine. I still need to fix my quotes so that they are the correct ones. I really like what lots of folks in the class are doing. I am enjoying looking at what everyone is putting up. I already commented on how much I like Lynn's. I also like Dan's. His postcard site is awesome! Rebecca's is also very cool. I especially like the old wall texture. Tracy's typewriter style is really cool. It is hard to believe that I have been through 5 different versions of this thing but I know Prof. P will believe it when we all tell her how much work we have all done on this. Can't wait to see everyone.
Nice job. I like your color schemes. You were brave to, unlike me, go for a new look different from your portfolio home page. And you actually have some substance in the writing instead of just some brief or placeholder text.
I see you got your historical fonts working in your banner image, as Prof. Petrik suggested. Did that take a lot of work in Photoshop? I'm anxious to gain those skills...

Thanks Chris. It didn't take long once I got the size figured out. That took me a while and lots of trial and error. I am sure there were better ways to do it.
