a. How did your images contribute to your website? What purpose did they serve?
I included images on most pages, besides the video one. I felt the Home page really needed something interesting to keep you on the page. The colors are nice, but that will only get you so far! I went with a horribly adorable kitty cat picture that hopefully, catches people attention, without cluttering the page. The next page was the fun facts, I added the image of a cat off to the side. Once again I felt the need to add interest to the page. The reason for leaving images out of the video page, was due to the fact it would be un-necessary when videos are put in.

b. What challenges did you experience in having your images show properly on your web page?
The biggest issue I had was getting the images where I wanted them to be. I seem to constantly get confused about what to use for image positioning...As for actually getting the images to show up, that was no problem. I gave the files simple names so misspelling and such was unlikely.
The page specifically meant for pictures, I still plan on making that nicer. I don't like the different sized images and messiness of it.

c. How did understanding the box model assist you creating borders, padding and margins around your images?
I actually did a lot of guessing when it came to the padding/margins/borders. I'm still trying to get used to what each of them does. It was fun playing with them though, even if the surrounding borders on my images turned out really simple.

d. How does the placement of your hr tag assist users of your website?
To be honest, I may move it somewhere else in part three. But, for now, I've used it in a way that separates the videos meant for my site, from the links that go out to other sites (For more videos and cat information.). I wanted it to help give the page a slightly more organized feel.

e. How did the enhancements to your navigation improve your web site?
I had already done a tone of things with the navigation in part one, so I didn't feel the need to add a new background or anything. I am pretty happy with the colors I've got for it. A light grey for the background that's easy on the eyes, and black for text.
