Hey the links don't work! :)

It's different. It's clean My initial comment would be about the blobs under the tree. They look more like something you'd get from your doctor than raindrops.

I like it!

I'd move the vertical line further to the right though, at the moment there's too much space to the left of the text and too little next to the menu items. And when text size is increased the line next to the links breaks in half?

The word "Welcome" although I know it's partly obscured with raindrops looks a bit weird along the bottom of the letters.

Nicole

Edit: Actually, when text size is increased, the line to the left of the menu breaks too. And at 800x600 a horizontal scrollbar appears.

RE: Here's another - 11/15/2006 10:46:39   
so in everyone's pro opinion I should lose the "blobs"?

to the vertical line Nicole I can't move it over because the gallery link is a drop down menu and it would be right in the middle of the sub menu. I was thinking about getting rid of the line all together. any thoughts?

lastly are there any tutorials anywhere that I can see how it reacts to text increasing and how to fix them?

Changing text size?
http://www.jbvisions.co.uk/access/Resizing_text.htm

please ignore the spacing on the headings on the page, I did a tweak to the stylesheet earlier and screwed them up. I'll sort them out later today.

Well spotted Jaybee. You win today's spot the deliberate mistake competition. :)

Brain is working a little less well than usual at the mo - slightly distracted by an assignment for my web course on Coldfusion that has to be in by midnight - have I mentioned recently I think I must be crazy for deciding to sign up for one of the damned courses again? :)

While I'm here though little curious one, I'm wondering if the blobs might work better if "welcome" was shifted over to the left. You've got a lot of space between that nav column on the left and the main para on the right.

Anyway, now where did I put that Coldfusion book....? *sigh* :)

The blobs are only going to work if they look shiny and more like water. At the moment the one that's half green looks like something I had for my sinuses. :)

Yes, go look for a fly out menu that works in all browsers not just compliant ones.

and all the white space between the nav and the para is because of the submenu

so you like it :)

You're gonna hate me.........

no cos now the "snot" is merging in with the text which has gone all fuzzy.

This link shows you how to do water drops in PSP. Ignore the bottom of the page, it was obviously framed.
