    My Website

    Okay, so I desided to start a website for my family, not an easy task. I'm posting my kilt pics on there, with photos of my family and my kilt accessories. The site is still under construction, but the photos and links work. Check it out and let me know what you think...

    First picture I have ever seen of kilt with long johns!

    Nice version of Flower of Scotland

    A couple of the pics didn't seem to want to load though?

    Congrats!

    Looks good. Although some of the photos did not want to come up. One I recal was on the first page of family photos captioned Me and My wife/bride, or something similar. The thumbnail was fine, but the large size would not display.

    I like the music.

    I would suggest that if you really want to go with black background, to go with a much lighter color for the text. The dark blue is very hard to read and you are probably better off going with a dark text on a light background.

    That being said, nice site. I think you may be starting a trend with the long-johns and kilts. Not a bad idea considering how cold it gets up here in Michigan.

    That's a good idea, I'm still playing around with the site so I'll keep doing some changes. As for some of the pics not loading, I've had the same problem, I'm going to replace them with some smaller versions, maybe that'll help.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    It's a good website, but it might be a good idea to make it possible to turn the music off - it got a bit annoying after a while.

    I like the pictures and the references to your heritage - very nice.
