What's In My Web Editor Right Now

What I'm Doing
Compact design, large images with speedy load times and browser compliance (W3C) as always. Design focuses on ease of use for the viewer and providing contact information at every turn.

Tips and Tricks
- CSS image preloads, degradable javascript, all "tricks" are CSS so as to be viewable for most any browser to my knowledge and I've kept an 800 pixel width for every page to negate any horizontal scroll for my large images, etc. I feel confidant this is the way to present this type portfolio; so no, I don't think I would change anything at this time in XHTML and CSS 2.
