How did your images contribute to your website? What purpose did they serve?
The images serve to either represent an interpretation of some topic/idea or provide an illustration. The images say more than I could with words, and a site visitor will comprehend the intent and connotation quicker. Images also tend to provide some credibility to the accompanying narrative/prose.
What challenges did you experience in having your images show properly on your web page?
The biggest challenge involved spatial positioning. The browser often interpreted the XHTML code differently than I intended/expected. Correcting this often required lots of trial and error to arrive at a reasonable arrangement of images and text on the web page.
How did understanding the box model assist you in creating borders, padding and margins around your images?
The box model provided a basis for an intuitive understanding of border, padding, and margin style features. It also provides a basis for expectation of how the browser might interpret the code. It did not entirely eliminate experimentation and some trial-and-error, but things worked mostly as expected/advertised. These style features are good for solving positioning problems besides helping to frame graphics/images.
How does the placement of your hr tag assist users of your website?
I attempted to use the hr tag to visually separate portions of text. I think the hr tag boundaries help the user to break up the page into visually manageable sections. Graphic images do not seem to respect these section boundaries.
How did the enhancements to your navigation improve your web site?
The navigation links are certainly more visible and clickable. I might have overdone it a bit.
To test my pages' download speed I used the following tool: http://tools.pingdom.com/
