Portfolio Resume Update

INTRO PAGE
Because my portfolio website is currently a project for a course I'm taking I have to include an intro page because it is on the check list of things to include on the site in order to get a good grade. Currently my intro page is horrid:

(The 'create hyperlink' button on this interface is currently not working. Please copy and paste the link into your address bar to view the page. Sorry for the inconvenience. Is this an Opera browser bug like the Firefox browser bug I found?)

I am thinking of designing a splash page in Flash. This would suffice the "include a flash element of some sort" requirement as well. Killing two birds with one stone is never a bad idea, right?

HOMEPAGE
I'm in love with my homepage, however. It showcases a scrolling gallery and a fun font as well as my favorite choice of colors: black with gray and PINK.

CSS
CSS was used in the scrolling gallery to make it functional but it was also used for tables, background and links to pull the site together. A good, apparent, example of this is that all pages include the same background piece.

BACKGROUND IMAGE
This background image was also a product of a class assignment. The project was to take the conceptualized idea of "takeaway" and produce a visual image. A "takeaway" in short is the one thing you'd take with you if you were to die today. It could be an idea, a memory, a feeling or even something material. Being a girl and quite prone to girly ideas and girly thoughts, I chose feeling love...imagine that...awww.

CONTACT FORM
I found a tutorial on a website that I can't remember now and copied the .php from it. I built the page and made sure to put in my own email address to send it to upon hitting the 'submit' button. However, when I tested the form about 2 minutes after uploading it either A. did not work or B. takes a bit to send the emails to the email account. While I'm hoping for B I'm guessing the answer is A so I'll have to consult my professor to see if he would know why it might not be working...or I can do the smarter thing and figure it out on my own. I think I'll go that route...won't always have professors to answer your questions, you know!

CHANGES TO BE MADE
I had a few friends view and critique the site. One person commented on the different fonts that were used. On the homepage I used boopee and times new roman, whereas on the resume I used a different set of fonts that I can't even remember the name of now. So later today or perhaps tomorrow I plan on editing the resume and incorporating boopee and times new roman fonts instead. The problem here is that boopee is not a very professional font and while it works well on my homepage, I don't feel it would be appropriate for a resume.

RESUME IDEA
I have this ingenius idea to make a folder-type resume. For example, if you go into a nice restaurant the waiter/waitress will hand you a menu that opens up like a book. It contains a front cover, inside left face, inside right face and back cover. This is the way I would like to have my print resume be, however I'm sure this type of printing costs a pretty penny. We'll see what I come with!
