Here are links to my pages.

I reworked my designs based on feedback.  I made the site more able to be sliced and imported into dreamweaver.  I also made the left pattern smaller and included what my portfolio site included to the top left area.  When you click on the portfolio area you will be prompted to click on a thumb in the sidebar area which will display all the thumbs in the main content area.  I plan to have each of those thumbs clickable to display the design or artwork in a larger area either within the content area or if you hover over the thumbs a medium size display will pop up.

I have really started getting into web design and feel that this may be the path I choose within the field of graphic design.  There are so many possibilities and the future is basically built around it.  Aside from most of the jobs I see asking for web design experience, I really like to work itself.  I hope to gain a better understanding of everything by the end of this class and take some CSS and HTML class eventually.
