Hi Jan!
It's got a lovely rich look to it - very nice. I don't know whether it's the size or colour of the text you have used but I find it a little difficult to read. Apart from that I like it and look forward to seeing it develop. Nice work!

Hi Jan,

Love your design, gorgeous, the print is a bit small tho and the colour is hard to read on the dark backdrop, and thers a big sideways scroll ....cant wait to see the finished site tho ...really nice work!

Pretty Nifty, Jan!

I like your use of features and available ambience to set the mood and to make visitors feel "at home."

The dark colors makes it more difficult to read easily I thought, but that might be from staring at my screen so much these past few days.

>> I enjoy your font design and simplicity that is present throughout, but honestly, I think it is in direct incongruence with the complex and dominant background. Maybe just lightening it up (not changing it) would make a big difference and allow the focal sections to "pop" more than they do now????

I think this is great, and like I said, it communicates warmth and you very well.

How come i don't have the big sideways scroll in my browser?....it's all centred nicely!...hmm!... i tried setting the width to 800 and centre it but that just shoved everything over to the right and i had big gap down the left side causing me to scroll sideways to see it all in the centre...what di i do wrong?

Click on my link Jan it might help

Jan, I dont know whats happening, but after your page has loaded
my byte counter keeps going up and up (2 mb)
I quit then went back in and the same thing started to happen.

I will check again manana......

have fun.

Ok..i tried a new page with the guide lines in place and it completely cuts the tag board column off, in the preview mode (as in bluevoda) there's a big blank gap all way down the right hand side... hang on!

Would the different screen resolution settings have any baring on this, coz in my browser everything i have published looks fine, there's no sideways scroll at all....it couldn't be more centred if i got the ruler out and measured it all up!...lol
My screen resolution is set on the highest it'll go (1024 by 768 pixels) the lowest it goes is 800 by 600.

Byte counter?

Yes your right, depends wether you care or not if people have to scroll sideways on browsers that are 800x600 ...like mine lol ...(my pet hate is sideway scrolling)...set to 800 fixes that for most browsers i beleive ....myself i tend to click off a site i always have to side scroll on ..but its your choice at the end of the day :o)

hmm... decisions decisions..think i need to sleep on that one...it's way past my bed time any how...thanks for all you help though.

HEY!...I made Corporal....lol

Your welcome

Night night n well done corporal!

I love the warm, rich feel of your site. But have to agree with others on the font size or color. I would try increasing the size first and see if that makes it easier to read. Great Job!

yep looks good! I agree with the sideways scroll thing and I had the same problem this morning. Infact I think I fixed it but I am not too sure yet. but if you want help fixing the problem see my thread in the same forum area- "my first website- lots of glass!"

I've been playing around with the userpage in my profile too...

I know it's nothing fancy...may later i will try and dress it up a little.

I love your site and can't wait to see more. I agree the writing is a little hard for tired eyes. I have to know who sings that song?

The song is 'Two Beds and Coffee Machine' by Savage Garden.

It's one of my all time favorites but i am a Savage Garden and Darren Hayes (was lead singer of Savage Garden, now solo) fan.

Great Song

Jan,

I love the colors on the website. I wansn't able to hear the music but I think that's because I do not have quicktime installed. Great work, its very organized and layed out well.

wilson

Sorry wgreene, i took the music off for a bit, the pages publish quicker with out it, it will go back on though once i'm finished working on the home page...talking of which i've done quite a bit more on it toninght (for those that saw it yesterday)... i made the text slightly bigger...see what you think now.... Jan's Place!

Well that's me done for today...i've had a busy day and i can barely keep my eyes open now...time to get my but in to bed i think...nite!

Would ya'll pay my place a visit again please...done quite a lot since i first posted with just the home page only half done...let me know what you think!... Jan's Place!

Like i said before, i've increased the text size a little but some of you will probably still have the sideways scroll (been busy with other stuff) other than that how's it looking so far?

Some of the buttons are yet to have their pages made but some are done and linked up.

Very rich looking. I found that the font at the top of the page (The Logo) was really hard to read but it was a very elegant looking page. The I also think that if you are going to use that font that you may want to make it a bit larger as someone else had said. Other than than I think it is a really spectacular website. Nice Job!
