Hi Guys,

Well, I've revamped my entire site following your very helpful comments from awhile back and am relatively happy with it. www.teeschneider.com

It looks pretty good in Firefox but I sometimes get a Stack Overflow at Line 0 in IE7 on the "Photo" page.

Also, I would have liked to center the entire site if possible but the content won't aligning properly. Is there an easy way to do that?

Is there anywhere to go to see what my site looks like in different browsers that I don't have or do I just have to go out and try to find them on other computers.

Anyway, any thoughts/comments/ideas are much appreciated. (If you could put it "for dummies" that would be great:P)

I wouldn't change the alignment. I quite like the site aligned left as it is, maybe just match the background colour better.

Ah yes, I suppose that would work too. Thx!

Anybody know of a prettyer way to make a scroll box? My project page overflows in some browsers and I want scrolling text because that list will get longer and longer but the big grey/blue scroll bar is not my ideal solution.

I'd work on the fonts a little bit. Try and get a flow of size through the whole site. The resume page, for instance, is horrible to try and read.

Yeah, thx for having a look. I'm trying to deal with have the info fit and look good at the same time...that page in particular as well as projects page which will continue to grow. But I'm trying to avoid scroll bars as they look terrible on this particular design.

hmm. if you want to have it centered, make a new div class in css.
#layout_out {
position:relative;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;}

then just make a new <div> in html with the style around the whole content you have now and it should be centered.

hmm maybe you make just 3 or four groups for easier navigation, you could easily take together contact, about and resume. i just find so many buttons a bit much.

Thx for the centering info. I'm trying out Jayx' suggestion about not centering with better match for bg. I hear you about the navigation. This is pretty standard nav bar for an actor site...although aesthetically, yes, a few less buttons would be nice, casting directors have no patience when it comes to my lot so I'd rather err on the side of clarity.

...i'm still frustrated about my res page but I have include large printable versions... I dunno...still working on it.
