A website i would like your oppinion on

<p>Hey guys and girls, i have launched my website that holds all my photography (that i had time to upload) and i would like you guys to tell me what you think of the layout add if its "people friendly" also it would be nice to tell me about my pictures and if you think they are better than average or if im just wasting my time.<br /> here is the link <a href="http://klarkinphotos.50webs.com/" target="_blank">http://klarkinphotos.50webs.com</a> <br /> thanks again hope to hear from you all soon.<br>

i think im going to cut a lot of the text in the "photo gallery" section because most people dont care why i took the shot but just wana see pictures. am i right?</p>

<p>Start by learning correct spelling and grammar. This is your shop front, this is how the world is seeing you. Right now it's not sending out a very good message. I wouldn't hire someone who can't put a sentence together.<br>

You have some really good pictures though. They speak for themselves and they tell me you're not wasting your time. Stick with it and work on the site presentation.</p>

<p>Mark, I second the suggestions above and would add that you switch to a hosting company that does not drop ads into your site. It's distracting and worst of all cheapens your site and your photography. I'd also move the photography lessons to a blog or perhaps a sub-domain. Stand back and ask yourself the purpose of your site - the narrower the focus the better - and redesign from there.</p>

<p>I second Bill's suggestion that you switch hosting companies.<br>

This appeared at the bottom of your home page:</p>
