fair enough, though it would of course be possible to expand it!

I did like Dave's design a bit better Dan... LOL, I laughed at your colours comment cos you said:

colors aren't quite right, but whaddaya expect with only Notepad and MS Paint/MS Photo Editor to work with :o)
But really, if you're controlling the colours via CSS, and using Hex colours all you'd need to do was find colours that you liked on the web?! Then type those 3/6 digits into Notepad? You can't say you're limited to a text editor, because it's more than sufficient to complete a design task.
p.s. you were a tad nasty to Dave!

Not quite so easy...when working from a graphic with only Notepad, MS Paint and MS Photo Editor at you disposal, you can't just get the Hex color out of them...and finding a match on the net is tricky to find.
And can I not for once be cheeky without getting flacked for it?
If you have any other ideas Dave....please...share..I'm just not keen on that particular one
Dan

Tone your orange down a bit, vertically centre your header text, make your own CSS/HTML validation buttons, experiment with different background colours (the #EFEFEF or whatever you're using blends in with the white a little too much) you're obviously going to sharpen your curve image so that's fine, a tad more right padding in your content. Oh yeah, maybe experiment with the bottom border of your header, making it a bit bigger i.e. 5px or something just to see how it looks.

Don't tone the orange down. That is the orange that you want to use. It just need be approached differently.
I will make something instead of trying to do this...
Give me a bit Dan. I am swamped.
