I was expecting to see people doing daring stuff in mid air. Shows how much I know. As far as music, go get Wimpy player and download the skin maker. You can set up players with backgrounds and all sorts. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to d a v e)

EDIT : seems you have to pay!!! :( < Message edited by d a v e -- 7/14/2008 11:02:15 > _____________________________ David Prescott Gekko web design (in reply to jaybee)

The only other one I'd use is Swish Jukebox but you have to pay for that too and I like Wimpy better. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Like walking into a dorm room or attic bedroom. _____________________________ Easy Web �Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.� (in reply to d a v e)

Hate the "mystery meat" navigation links but since it's for a small group it won't matter much...once the visual iconography is established it's intuitive, though...I like it overall but agree with the look and feel comments...I expected more grunge and less grandpa's attic..

I use Wimpy as you can design pretty much anything. I'm doing one site at the moment where it's going to look like a 60s juke box. Hours of endless fun. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to Donkey)
