I'm so thankful there are people out there that have the talent to design websites, because HTML is way over my head. Niels Hillebrand of www.MILAVIA.com contacted me when I first wanted a website and has been so helpful in helping me keep it up to date and fix any mistakes I make. He wanted to update it over the winter and has made the changes to liven it up with a fresh coat of paint.

Would like your thoughts and feedback, still easy to navigate and I like the color change.

Thanks again Niels beercheers

I like it. I like the choices of the images used throughout, and it looks good and is easy to navigate.

I must admit I can't really remember much how the previous one looked, but this one certainly gets the job done in a visual pleasing way.

I would only suggest that the thumbnails for each gallery could be twice as large.

From what I remember of the previous incarnation, this one is a lot neater, it looks more "proper". The addition of the header and navigation bar makes it much easier to get around the site.

Good stuff thumbsup

thanks guys, didn't think about taking a picture of how it looked prior to compare. I'll ask Niels about making the thumbnail bigger RS, thanks for the feedback.

The old site at the Internet Archive.

http://waybackmachine.org/*/http://topgunphotography.net/

Click on one of the dates colored in light blue. June 03, 2009 is the last time it was archived by the Internet Archive

It doesn't have everything of course but I find it to be a pretty useful site. I've found several things from old sites that are no longer in existence by searching at the Internet Archive. It's also a good way to find things when the website is still active but they aren't keeping up with their links. You can also watch several old movies and training films that are now in the public domain at the Internet Archive too.

Have fun smile
