Re: Team 1255 Site

Two quick comments:

In the image galleries, the "thumbnails" you are displaying are actually the full size images, just squished to fit into the 60x80px you've given them. This means they take longer to load (since the browser has to get the whole full size image), and they don't look as nice. Consider using some other software package to create smaller, seperate thumbnails (or check out Picasa and it's nice web export (you can even write your own templates)).

Also, in your sidebar, the rollover images are not preloaded. For the red-glowy image to appear for each item, I have to wait a sec for my browser to request it. You can use javascript to preload these images and remove that delay.

Other than that, you have a lot of great content and the site is very easy to navigate. Nice work!
