The image display is a pain in the ass. I mean, it works OK but
everytime I try to tweak one part, it screws up the rest of it. It
almost needs to be written as two separate parts -the list, and the
album. Right now, the code is all jumbled together and its hard to make
sense of it. I had to step away from it for a while.
Are you viewing the site with a Mozilla variant browser? The site looks
different in different browsers, of course, but Mozilla makes the
"medium" fonts look enormous. I haven't seen it on Safari or Opera yet,
but I think that it looks the best in Konqueror. I'll play around with
the Block widths and see if I can find a happy medium. Part of the
problem is that I'm using a 22" monitor, so its hard to know how it
would look on the more typical 17" monitors. Right now, the blocks on
the side have a width of 140, so maybe I'll bring it down to 100 or 110.
Either way, I'll play around with it and try some different settings.

My Apple II clones website is live now, if anyone wants to
take a look.

The image module that I'm using is limited to what you see,
but I'm hoping that a friend of mine, who knows a lot about
PHP programming, will be able to help me design a better way
to display the images.
Nice! I'm uber-jealous that you've got a Microprofessor-II as well - I've
got the external keyboard for it but that's me lot. I see you've gone down
the same route as me for picture displaying - tables. I tried all sorts of
ways getting the format right using just CSS but it's not to be yet,
particularly if you want full cross-browser compatibility.
The only thing I can suggest is make the menus on the left have a smaller
font, then you can get more images in on the right - I'm using 1600x1200 and
the menus seem large even at that resolution :)
