1- Ok 800 x 600 it is.
2- True, most newer browsers are fine with frames, but some people just hate them, I guess from the old days when that wasn't the case.
3-True, it could easily be nudged. I was thinking maybe a section for advertising used gear? And if everyone saw my email from last week maybe a message board (mainly as a back up, for when scubabboard goes down, since we don't all have each others contact info, an easy way to post updates about any upcoming dives, especially if the board were to go down right before the weekend)
4- I'm not sure how to do it with **********, but I can have it randomly display a set of images with Flash.
5- I think it would actually be smaller than doing it with HTML, and I could make the bg a color that contrasts well with the buttons, that way even if for some reason the image takes a while to load, you can still navigate to another page while it's still loading.
I redid the bottom. Had to go back to the original image, to get the color right, but it matches much better now. So I also had redo the rocks. I think they look better though now. Looks more like the boat's sitting on the ledge of a huge drop off, and not just next to a big pile of rocks!
As far as changing the pictures. I can do it as long as I have images to work with. Remember I announced I needed pictures for the site a few weeks ago, but no one sent anything. I can easily get plenty of surface shots. That's easy. I'm sure I have at least a few more that are usable (Dutch, Secret Beach, etc.) Hell take shot from any beach in NJ. But...I don't really have many good UW shots yet. Not cool ones like that boat.
Also is anyone good at writing copy? We know what sections we want. But the content to actually go in there is a whoe different story!
