For a professional result, throughly check all the spelling. :D (It's best to get someone else to check it ... )

Remove all apostrophes, then go through and put them only where they are needed.

112652 2003-01-11 01:54:00 It looks allright!! Just really incomplete!!!!! Perhaps you could upload the images too?

I'll have a look later!!!!

112653 2003-01-11 01:55:00 Graham...the content writing stuff hasn't been finalised yet, and ill make sure i get an english teacher to check the spellin'n'grammer :P

still looks kinda bland, there has to be 8 images of about 70x100 pixels in the main bit but its still missing something...perhaps a banner in the top panel? know any good img editors...i tried earlier using paint and changing it from bmp to jpg but the colour changed :/

112654 2003-01-11 02:01:00 Someone posted a link to this neat site (http://www.flamingtext.com/) not long ago. At least I think it was someone from this forum. :p Susan B (19)
112655 2003-01-11 02:08:00 Perhaps you could upload 8 black rectangles , just so we can see the layout?

BTW i'm browsing with konqueror in Linux, and am too lazy to look at it from the computer that uses "another OS"

Can i sugest you make sure that the menu buttons (i'm assuming thats what the images are) dont make the page width over 800 pix wide, as theres still alot people who veiw the web at 800x600.

Note i'm guessing what is where, which makes review difficult.....

112656 2003-01-11 02:15:00 I was just making the general observation, Tones. So you are going the content-free way; very safe :D

I teased a friend about the "Dinning Tables" (for loud families?) on his furniture shop site. The most glaring spelling errors are the ones in large type.

112657 2003-01-11 02:17:00 oke doke, uploaded some images thats roughly where they will be, perhaps in a table, i haven't decided whether to have a text link and a graphic link or a graphic link with some alt. text.

what do you mean by making "the page width over 800 pix wide, as theres still alot people who veiw the web at 800x600"

i'm browsing @800X600 (IE) and it seems to fit fine ?:|

My comment is meaningless, i was concerned that you might make a horizontal menu totalling over 800 pix, as some people do, but now that you have actual substitite images, rather than falsely assumed images , i can see there is no problem... horizontal scroll bars suck!
