geesh I wish I could be happy with a homepage one of these days....:cool:

I think the red and blue background takes away from the images. Maybe just a neater arrangement of the images and leave background black? Less is more?

I might go without the border. Also, links open in a new window but you then have a link that leads that new window back home again, that's confusing. Either put a link that closes the window, or dont open each link in a new window. My 2 cents.

[senjula]

Okay I took off the border...have to figure how to work it so it doesnt open in a new window...brain not clear yet...Balou I changed the blobs in the back to a lighter color, dont want to quite loose them yet, I am hoping this color will make the images stand out more as opposed to taking away.....or do you think it is still too much?

[JPnyc]

Hmm, now they're not opening in a new window. perhaps I dragged the mouse slightly when clicking before, that'll open in a new tab in my browser. Anyway it's MUCH better without the border. Far more striking! I like it!

[senjula]

that is why you had me so confused...So it wasnt a brain lasp...I kept saying what new window!!! ha ha ha....now the darn pic is so big and every time I try to resize it Pixel Demons are emerging...glad it looks better must get it smaller....

[JPnyc]

Geez, everyone's so hung up on size :D. I like it as is but then I use a fairly large screen and res. 1152x864 on a 20" monitor

[senjula]

nope not hung up on size...I just wanted it a wee bit smaller and now it is...just a tad...got rid of pixel demons...I just did not want it filliing the whole monitor....thats all...no hang ups here

[JPnyc]

I was joking. I do that at least every other post :D. Site looks very good. This is definitley the best yet in my opinion.

[senjula]

Thank you very Much!!! I decided to eliminate some of the older, flat, lifeless, and so on illustrations I had and go with my newer ones, hopefully that will also help things out....

hey senjula, it's looking nice! The only suggestion I have for you is that the font you've chosen for your title may not be available on many machines. A quick peek at your source and this for example:


.style46 {font-size: 36px; color: #FF0000; font-family: Pristina, Perpetua, "Rage Italic", Gautami, Latha, Shruti;}


These fonts fall outside what we call "web-safe fonts" -- the user MUST have them installed on their machines to interpret them correctly. You would be better off creating a graphic. If the user doesn't have any of those fonts, it will show the default which is most likely Times New Roman.

[JPnyc]

I didn't even notice that, EC, good catch. Never heard of that font either

[EC]

I've never heard of the last three.

[JPnyc]

I never heard of any of 'em but I sure like the sound of "rage italic"

[senjula]

LOL...I ment to add just one to Dreamweaver and I was over clicking so it installed them in one grouping...will probably default on most computers...I will add a graphic tommorrow..thanks:)
