hi,
well, thanks for such positive comments!!
i've pulled most of my hair out, stumbled every step, it's been horrific fun, and i guess i have learnt alot- even though i've felt as clever as a 5 year old at times!! you guys on the forum have helped tremendously- thanks so much!!

david- thanks for that! i will relook at checkout- i thought i'd set it to popup, leaving site in the background, but still put header links in , just in case.
the form is also my biggest issue, i've had help with it, and i'm told it works fine, but not from any pc's i can get onto.i can't even get the correctly revised form to publish properly.

collector- thanks, have you any suggestions for how i could keep my text looking boxed in as it currently does, but so that it shows as text? i assumed that as i typed it, it would be classed as text in the boxes...see, still learning!!

nzbr- thankyou, i'll see what i can do about less pics, but until i can get my head round databases i'm stuck. i did want a table of images linked to a db, but it's way over my head!
changing page width should be easy enough, but length will have to stay the same due to the db issue.

thanks guys,
sharon
