How did your images contribute to your website? What purpose did they serve?

My images gave faces to the names of my family. It helps give more information/depth about the subject matter of the website.

What challenges did you experience in having your images show properly on your web page?

Oh my... well, the last two days have been an adventure. I had more difficulty with adding the background and border to the nav links. Once I figured that out, the images didn't seem so bad. It was a little time consuming with reducing/optimizing the images. I don't have photoshop and picasa wasn't really doing what I wanted so I used pixlr.com. Huge help in reducing the images to the size I wanted. From there, it was just getting the margins and the way I wanted.

How did understanding the box model assist you creating borders, padding and margins around your images?

Understanding the box model is a work in progress still, although, I have a better understanding now than before. Once I understood the difference between padding and margins and experimented with pixel sizing, I was able to get a better feel of movement of the images as well.

How does the placement of your hr tag assist user of your website?

The hr tag helps define the areas of the website. It helps define where an area starts and ends.

How did the enhancements to your navigation improve your website?

The background and border helped define them. Made them more noticeable.
