| 112633 | 2003-01-10 05:59:00 | Try to stick with a sans-serif font (with out curls). I find that websites look heaps better in Arial or Tahoma or similar. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 112634 | 2003-01-10 06:09:00 | If it's not possible to upload yet, try this site for some expert tutorials. Out of the thousands of sites devoted to web design, this is still one of the best & easiest to understand hotwired.lycos.com & this one's not too bad either. http://www.webdesignhelper.co.uk/ |

| 112637 | 2003-01-10 06:41:00 | I just viewed your site with Mozilla 1.1 With this browser your green stripe down the left side of the page only comes out as far as the "b" in About. Your links also appear green. This results in all you links displaying as inks and the word Home as ome. You probably are not interested in how Mozilla displays your webpage, but I thought I would share this information with you anyway :D I like simple sites with minimal, but well chosen images, and a limited colour palette selection - I think they look more professional that way. A good tip I learnt was to go and look at sites whose design/layout appeals to you and add those elements/styles to your site. That's my 2c's worth :-) Jen |

| 112638 | 2003-01-10 06:56:00 | It certainly doesn't seem to work well at a resolution of 1280*960 I get a green bar through the text on the right. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 112639 | 2003-01-10 07:10:00 | hmmm how can i make it with the green strip down the side (which is the bg.jpg) and the white "a" at the top over lap and the "links" on the right of the the green strip not change in many resoloutions? | tones_malones (611) | ||
| 112640 | 2003-01-10 07:11:00 | or would it be better to make an image map? | tones_malones (611) | ||
