A portfolio subdomain :)

Here's my portfolio subdomain, I particularly like the way the subdomain thing works, keeping things seperate from the main domain name.

I've worked this up using basic html and a few CSS tricks I picked up from tutorial sites and books, graphics made using GIMP and Inkscape (using my own photographs and designs, naturally). I'm thinking of adding a scroll to the photographs section, maybe horizontal, using CSS; anyone any opinions on this? How well is CSS scrolling supported in the main browsers? Maybe I should make a test site and ask again. Oh and there's some javascript for the rollover too, I had trouble getting the CSS rollover thing to work.
Any other opinions or suggestions are welcome!

PS I love those smilies, especially this one -

Hi,

I love your photo's on there! Regarding CSS/JS rollovers, personally I see no harm in using JS - people who disable JS are going to cripple their whole web experience anyway!

Is that Notre Dame on one of your photos?

What do you guys (and gals) think of my uber-simple main page?

I like shapes and stuff, I've been creating webpage designs based around simple shapes for a few years now, and trying to get away from the busy top and left menu style that so many seem to love. I suppose that suits certain sites, I particularly like the Hewlett-Packard one.

For me it's too simplistic, you perhaps needs a border of some sort around the shapes? Or a light grey background or similar to outline them?

Nah, I like it the way it is. Thanks for the input though

I was thinking about some subtle random occasional animation on the images, maybe with the coloured outline.
