Ê This appeals to me. Continues to be slow on the download, but you
probably know that already. There are so many things about this that are
right, I won't list them all. I really like the color scheme and I like
the windmill pointing to the text. It also makes a nice frame around the
text and communicates so much to me in terms of key symbols for farming
and agriculture.

Ê hate to say this, but this has lost appeal to me. If there was a
lot less text and the pic, it may be better.

Ê The rollover takes up way to much space and too much text. It might
be a concept for leading into a story or photo essay. Maybe what we end
up with is two kinds of splash pages (maybe we can find different terms)
This may be an introductory page or an entry page or something that leads
us into a story or piece that will be highly visual, not hard news or
the like. Thoughts?

Ê What if we lost the huge line down the middle of the page, but had
some other tools to move us through the various thumbnails?

Ê Wow. Now you have my attention. This speaks directly to the idea
of storytelling. This has huge potential. Since I am not familiar with
the content, maybe joe could give you some feed back on order, size, presence.
This is a mix of photopage and photoessay. The various pic can be presented
as a total idea and as individual ideas.
