_Q_ & ariesrising - great hints!
A couple points though:
1) Digicam - if you're using your digital camera for 4x6 photos and the website alone - you can get away with a 2 megapixel camera. You won't be able to tell the difference and can probably pick on up really cheap!
2) Music is bad. No no no music. *pet peeve*
3) On the drama that is which Graphics program to use: Adobe is great, but is very expensive even when purchased through a educational licence. Elements is a great package from Adobe which has most of the things you'll actually use for a better price. Those on a Mac can use Graphics Converter, which often comes bundled with their OS.
And now, some questions for the up and coming website developer:
1) Have you filled out your alt attributes on all images? Someone who uses a screen reader will love you forever if you do, and it's such a simple thing to do!
2) Does your website look decent on other screen resolutions other than your own? - make sure it looks good on 600x800 and up. Yes, people still use 600x800.
3) Does your website work in other browsers? Many many people no longer use IE. Test your website as many browsers as possible!
4) If someone does not have a flash/shockwave plugin - does your webpage still convey information? If not, consider creating a text-only page (in addition to the flash enabled page) which portrays the neccessary information easily.
5) Would you like to spend extended amounts of time on your website? Sometimes we forget that visitors to our site will spend a good deal of time exploring it (especially if they are a PNM). That Mousetrailer might be fun for the minute you spend checking the site, but will annoy your indepth visitor immensely!
