Hi, my site is not really pushing the limits of drupal, since it is for my design portfolio, rather than a community site. However, I would love it if some of the people who have been working with drupal for a while could look at it and give me some pointers, or just share thoughts about it. Thanks!

That's really very nice. Clean, your own theme/color/look feel. You have the favicon covered, none of the links look like a typical Drupal newbie site. The SEO fanatics will congratulate you.

Nicely put together.

I fell for it.

Simple/smart navigation, no moving stuff, harmonic colours, nice design, not to small letters, not to much letters, spacing once in a while.

Simply great:-)

Keep it like that!

Nice, simple and practical.
Good work

For the admin link... you could probably remove it from public view and when you want to login - just type in .../user manually

I have a question for you:
Did you use photoshop, illustrator... for the header and footer images?

Thanks for the compliments!

What does SEO stand for?

yes, the header and footer are done in photoshop. It is a modified chamelon theme. Seems to be a nice simple theme and not too hard to figure out.

I looked at it for the first time in Windows Internet Explorer yesterday and found out that all the text in the main window is CENTERED! YUCK!

I don't understand why these browsers can't all render this stuff in the same way. It is sooooo annoying! It works fine in Firefox on the PC, Linux and on the mac. So now I gotta figure out what to modify that windows exploder will understand.

(dont run windows at home or work, so I dont generally have access to those boxes),

Your site is the best ! but i need help.

every time i use link, my index.php don´t work. ex. create the first account ... http://localhost/drupal-4.6.3/?q=user/register, i thing the problem is my apache httpd.conf, but i try change it, and the problem persist. when i try open my brownser which or default is http://localhost/drupal-4.6.3, i see first the index of drupal and i have to click in index.php to start the process.

Where i have do copy my .htaccess ? in htdocs ?

Please, Help me. Thanks.

If you're having a problem with your site, you need to start a post of your own. Adding on to an unrelated post to ask someone to help you really puts them on the spot and takes their post completely off topic.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Read more on Wikipedia.

and not cluttered! (I'm at the point where I dislike sites that put anything and everything in their sidebars.)

very nicely done.
