565909 2007-07-05 02:17:00 See what can be done with a little time and effort.
I had a *santas little helper* who set it up for me. Some of you will be able to figure out who that was.
As I said, once I get an idea of what I have to do I can carry on.
My helper did an awesome job!
Big thanks to him ;)
What say you all?

565910 2007-07-05 02:34:00 Overall, not bad. The header seems a little busy though. It also looks quite 'skinny' when viewed at 1280*1024 - perhaps a dynamic width would be better?

There is a red border around the header.

In Opera, flash content is displayed as 'always on top'. The result of this is partial obscuring of the dynamic menus when there is a flash object in the way.

Edit: Some images appear to have drop-shadows, others do not. Consistancy is a good thing.

Edit 2: Plaintext mailto: links - these should be built on-the-fly with a script to avoid spam harvesting, or manually obscured. This is very easy to achieve with javascript.

Opera 9.20 / Linux, Flash 9

565915 2007-07-05 03:21:00 I spose it does make it look unprofessional to some, however, I dont mind it.
Its good that there is some programs available for free.
It was suggested that there might be some flash wizard out there who might make me up a new flash header. Something smart and flashy :)

565916 2007-07-05 03:31:00 I didn't even see the header until Bletch mentioned it - my Opera settings are somehow blocking it so had to open FF to see it. :p

Now that I've had a look, I feel that the header animation conflicts with the scenery one below. It's too much. It would be better if one of them was static.

Apart from that, it looks good. :cool:


PS I wouldn't mind doing that horse trek. :thumbs:

I concur. That 123 advertising is one of the first things I notice on the site. I would drop the animation, and just have a static banner.

The banner also is not viewable on an iphone, as iphones don't display flash.
