Hi,

Thank you.

Hi,
your site is looking pretty good.I think i would tend to put your introduction section which is on the left over to the middle and slightly larger with pics either under or around, it is nice to read about you first and foremost then look at the pics.I would also reduce the size of your logo a bit to balance up with your great link buttons.I hope this is constructive.Like your calendar by the way.best of luck.
regards
Jay

Jay,
Thanks for the suggestions they are very much appreciated.

Hi Barry,
well done on what you've achieved so far. I would suggest adding some of your lovely photos to your homepage to make it a little more eye-catching and think about the layout as Jay suggested. Perhaps somthing like this:

PICTURE TITLE PICTURE
&
LOGO

MENU OR NAVIGATION BAR

PHOTO TEXT PHOTO

PHOTO PHOTO

And a couple of your pages looked a little bare. Happy tweaking and keep up the good work.

Hi Again Parris,

I really like the site. I might consider changing the colours of the text and background. It seems to work for the scrolling message, but I find it somewhat difficult to read in the text box.

The pictures all loaded nicely in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Cheers!
Judith

Thanks for your suggestion. Some of the pages are rather bare as I'm not sure what all will eventually be included. Need to get more feedback from the bicycle club folks.

Not sure what you mean by this. I have created the ROR and it appears that google has found my site. Could you explain what you mean?
Thanks.

Thanks, Judith, for your comments. I also am not very happy with the colors. I'm waiting for the "artists" in our club to make suggestions. But, since we won't be riding for a while (too cold), gonna have to wait until spring.

Yes - where you have Parris underlined in blue text - you may notice that I and most other members have a 'signature'. You can add or change yours in the Forum control panel (accessed at the top of the page). Most use their signature to added effect by adding their website URL - just like mine below.
