Nice and quick loading. I looked at it on the latest Netscape and IE browsers. Looks good on both. The only difference I notices were minor. It had to do with margins.

There is a lot of horizontal scroll on the opening page even in 1024. Also your home link is broken.

Overall, Good job.

Hello Jdog,

The left to right scroll at 800x600 was quite a bit...

Your home page button is pointing to index.html and not index.html which is you home page so the good ole page not found is showing..

I think I would also incorporate the logo more into the page so it doesnt look like it was taken off another site and stuck on this one. Kind of like this so you can see what I mean..

Thanks for you comments smy2 & godshall2.

Godshall2, alittle help please. Is'nt index.html correct or should it be .htm? Also, how the hek did you do that logo/ It looks great. I've been wanting to do this but am inexperienced.

Thanks you again.

Jdog

Hi JDog,
It can be .htm or .html But it needs to be one or the other. Just point your home button to index.html and all will be solved.

After looking at my last message it was confusing as I listed .html twice. Sorry about that.

The logo was a 20 second effort in Photoshop. Graphics are pretty much my thing but you can accomplish something that simple in just about any Image editor. There is a lot of help in the Graphics forum for just about any software you might have. Hell, just use that one if you'd like.

See ya:)

The new logo looks great, but for some reason I'm getting side to side scroll at 1024 X 768. That should never happen. Looks like you are using pixel width on you tables. You might want to try using a percentage instead. I would start with 95% and see how it looks.

Hi jdog,

The site looks pretty sharp!

One suggestion is to have your hyperlinks to other sites open in a new window. That way, they won't leave your site. Just right click "hyperlink properties" and "location" New Window. Good Job!

Very nice for a first website... I've seen sites that cost a fortune that weren't anywhere close!

I noticed that if you total up the specified width of your tables (140 for the nav. and 772 for your content) that it totals 912 px.

Using a % for the text content table would help avoid scrolling for miles to read your whole page...

That is a very nice logo, GS2. I didn't see the original, but that's really a good looking logo. (now I know who to go to when I need help in Photoshop!)
