    Marincky,
    -Noticed that on the Education page, www.the-bigidea.tv is not a live link, consider correcting this.
    -Same thing with the YoungEntrepreneurs link in the Awards page.
    -Might want to play with different color backgrounds, for example the black insert makes your lizard/chameleon appear fuzzy around the edges.

    Good luck

    Thank you Bill, have altered the links but can't show you as can't publish on my accounts for some reason - Ticket raised.

    Can't alter colours as customer requirement!

    Thank you for your comments.

    Hi Marincky,
    Suggestions for chameleon animated .gif, I'm hoping your original chameleon image is of good quality. If so, consider using this image as is and only animate the winking eye (making the animation background transparent) and place on top of the chameleon image. This should help with the present chameleons fuzzy edges.



    Or you can increase the quality of the animation and remove the extra eye winks, to reduce .gif size (3 extra 'eyes' at present and because of the loop, these aren't necessary)

    Hope that helps, i will have a full walk around later.

    Cheers,

    Hi Beer,

    Wow thank you for your time in supplying this eye. However, when I look at this site it looks perfectly clear to me? I tried what you suggested above and on my screen looked worse? Am I misunderstanding?

    Hi Marincky,

    If I pull your animation into my program, I receive its various frames (6) but the main subject is already on its black background. It seems that the chameleon pixalated on reduction, prior to animating it. My suggestions above where:
    Not to reduce your chameleon to much and only animate the eye. Therefore allowing you to have a clearer chameleon (larger in kb than present) and a small eye animation (smaller in kb than present) These changes won't affect load speed (maybe quicker) but they'll give your chameleon clarity.

    It's a pleasure and if I can help further, give me a shout through any of my sites.

    Cheers,
