I think that makes sense. I would think two would be particularly helpful if the site has changed a lot in the past few years, so one "past" and one "present" screenshot (or just "present" for lesser sites). I think the screenshots, unless there's a good reason to do it otherwise, should be of the sites' front pages.

Thanks for the initiative. I noticed that you included several screenshots of StickFigure Graphics Productions. I know it's not that important, but I wanted to establish a guideline now. I personally think one screenshot should suffice for most sites, and two should suffice for the more prominent sites. What do you guys think?
I think the number of screenshots should be reflective of the various visual styles the website has had over the years. Ticalc.org probably only needs one (unless people want to show off different features of it), unless they have an older theme that I don't remember. UnitedTI or Cemetech could have several. It is a historically themed site, isn't it?

I suppose that makes sense... I would make the screenshots smaller then; they really dominate the page as it is right now.

Those are already included on the ticalc.org page at TI Story.
Wow nice I just noticed this from the United TI news page.
I also noticed that on the people page there is Jason Ho. Since I'm a Jason Ho and there is another Jason Ho who did program some games before me, and I'm obviously not as famous/well known as the other Jason Ho I wonder if two pages of Jason Ho would work?

I guess you could call your page Jason Ho (Jonius7) and for the other person, use his ticalc.org handle or if he lacks one, his real name only.

That is actually quite common; there are several people, sites, and programs and games in the TI community with the same name. There is a disambiguation template for that purpose, and you can just append the individual's handle/nickname to the page name (i.e., jason-ho-dakron15).
This is unrelated, but what do you guys think about the TI Story site design/layout? Like? Dislike? Any things that should be changed?

I don't like the black on the top and left side, it seems rather too contrasting with the white in the content-filled part of the site. Other than that, seems good.
/\agreed. a dark grey would probably look nicer, especially with the blue links there. also, is there any particular reason the logo uses fuzzy upscaling?

Good old Microsoft Paint 
My graphics skills are pretty basic, so I mainly just wanted to get something that was workable. If somebody wants to make it look nicer, that would be much appreciated.
Burr, we should teach you to use GIMP, then. Also I suspect the United-TI page might need a small update now!
