I like it. Very straightforward and clean.

Heck, I found the site useful and tried out some of the Reg hacks!

Thankyou Search66. Im not happy with the index page but most people find it ok. I dont know whether i should try and change it or not. When you tried out the Reg Hacks did you find the instructions simple enough to follow ? Did they Work ok for you ?

After playing around with it for a few hours i decided to change the big ugly links to something that i thought would look better. Would anyone that has already seen the site please give it a look over and say whether they think it looks better now or as it was. I quite like the new look. It seems to give it a crisper image. However i would think that because i did it. Thankyou to those of you that have looked at it so far.

Hi Paul

Nice simple site and some useful information. I do however have a few observations for you.

You have " Hello and welcome to my web page." underlined. When I see an underline on a web page, I assume it is a link. Perhaps using a larger font in bold would make it stand out without the confusion.

Your font is showing up as Times New Roman on my computer. You may want to use a serif font like Verdana or Arial which are availalbe on more computers in place of Trebuchet MS.

Why not put your main navigation on each page so users can move from one page to the next without having to return to the home page each time?

Just my opinion for what it' s worth.

Good luck with the site!
Swirl :)
