Someone's bound to come in and tell you to change it to css, but I figure if it gets the job done...
the top banner looks very GTA-ish, what witht he palms and font style. thats not a bad thing, just... a thing.
now put more work up.
And yea, doesn't matter if you are great with html or css or whatever, as long as it works.
While it is this simple stage, it'd be REALLY easy to convrt this to a tableless XHTML and CSS site.
I know I bang on about this with EVERY portfolio site posted, so I thought...
How about I do it?
I could change your site for you, and document the process so that everyone would see just how simple it is?
what would be the advantage in that tho? i really know squat about this stuff, would it still look exactly the
same, and work the same?
future plans was to make the portfolio images pop up in their own window and have them close if you click anywhere on them
nice look and feel rhinokey. very snazzy.
as for the design, why am i filled with the feeling of ganja ... hmmm ...
css and html mixed speed up the site - one file is downloaded to control all the colours, fonts, images etc., and this is used on every page.
The advantage of using css is that you totally separate the content of the website (your art, resume, news) from the look. This means that at any point in the future when you want to redesign the site, all you need to is edit one file and the entire site changes.
In reality , it's a bugger to make it that customisable, but it can be done.
Want to see this in action? Click any of the designs ont he rights of this page:

The site html is 100% identical, but each stylesheet changes the look of the site.
I'll get started tonight after work.
Still awesome though.

On looking at the site, I think that the black line surrounding the menu and the black line surrounding the content box would look better if they had the same weights, but it's not my site
Anyway, back to work.
offtopic: Rick, I love the background pattern on your site.

Its not really wizardry
All that I did was to create a folder with several backgrounds in it, and instead of pointing to a specific image, I pointed instead to a file called rotate.php:
background-image: url(../rsartv3/sitegfx/backgrounds/main/rotate.php);
the contents of that file are simple script that randomly picks an image from the folder it resides in. I'd post the source but it's 90% comments. It's easy to find on the interwebulator with Google.....or on my site since I posted the location to it.
But i don't like only one picture in portfolio
You can compare the 2 sites in 2 tabs and flick:
http://www.rsart.co.uk/tmh/
http://www.tmhunt.com/
And read how I got this far here:
http://www.rsart.co.uk/content-portal/css-redesign/
I know the artwork there is just a test, but I'd make the thumbnails bigger. Kickass looking dropship, by the way.
Rick: You might be updating right this second, but your version of the site only displays the header, no buttons or links. (I'm on IE)
http://www.rsart.co.uk/content-portal/css-redesign/
no
...but comparing the two, there are obvious differences you know. :P
Read all about it here.

If ANY part doesn't make sense to anyone, let me know and I'll explain it more - the point is that this is going to a resource to see how easy it is to make the switch.
Penzer: worked in it a bit on friday after work, and then most oe sunday afternoon into sunday nite

I need to remove the background colours from the link buttons which is easy, unless of course you have a PSD before they were flattened?
No idea what is happening, my gmail is RIsForRick@googlemail.com - that should get through
Calpol time
I only have 2 gigs of storage, and I don't want it filled with dirty asian lesbian schoolgirl bondage porn.
That's dirty asian lesbian schoolgirl bondage porn that I'm not wanting.
A little bit would be ok.

Read how this was done here:
http://www.rsart.co.uk/content-portal/css-redesign/1/
And pass on the link.
Kinda defeats the purpose.
I'll expand on this later.
If Rhinokey was changign the look of the site he'd need to edit the background images, masthead images etc. Now he alos gets to update the active and hover.
www.tmhunt.com that what i get just uploading the files you sent
Therefore in the index,shtml, the inlcude file should lose the tmh, and in the stylesheet you'd need to check all the image urls too.
I can see that it pulled in the latin text content file - if you edit the localcontent.inc file, you will see that updates. You get the bit [An error occured...] becuase again the navigation file that it is trying to pull in has got tmh in the pathname.
Or you could give me all your logins and passwords. And bank details
