BOBBLEHEAD! Wow you have been gone a long time!

I was confused with the white square for a few minutes and finally ran my mouse over it and seen the change. Im not sure how id queue that.. maybe a flashing HERE so they could see the difference?

NEON on black is perfect for what you are selling and doing there.. Great job!

Karen

lol on the bobblehead Karen .. and Glomania .. but I think he likes it .. lol

I was like you on this one Karen, the white square, maybe it should be fluorescent green saying enter or something, but then if you did this it would be really neat to enter a full screen shot of some room all glowing. I think some of the pics are a little too small to do justice to what could be glowing ... consider enlarging them, even if you use the new lightbox feature .. a glowing frame or neon frame around the edges of your pages would be neat too ...

Light it up some more .......... lol ...

Good to see you ... keep bobbing now ...

Wow! Gone for what? eight months and still have a crisp haircut on your avater.....business must be good!

Good to see you back. Same thing on the rollover for me....maybe offset "stack" the image under the white (which could have a faint "Mouseover to View" in a light gray on it) which then presents the rollover?? Hmmm.

Anyway, good to see the updates, and to see you in our midst once again!

Hello my faithful critics, thank you for you time, effort and above all honesty. It is difficult to get people to understand that during the day its INVISIBLE and when the lights go out it Glows. Done some alts as surgested, we will be looking to enter a video clip on how to: and a walkin style virtual video shortly. If we can get the images to be seen clearly enough. More projects on the way we hope.

Well done! I agree with Ladyeye, the size of the pics don't do them
justice. You have a unique product, and very interesting!!!

very nice site, I have to agree the size of the pictures in the gallery do not do it justice, even though I have sent an email to you on business, would be much better with bigger pictures.
Cheers

I would also like to see a rollover on your nav links at the top of the page. They look like links but don't seem to behave like links when you mouse over.
Pretty cool website though!

Use either the lightbox tool or the gallery tool in blue voda, both of these tools will allow you to have a thumbnail on your page that when you click the photo it will enlarge to the larger one ... you can play around with that tool and make it suit your needs, the original image you load into either of these tools should not be any larger than '600 or '800 though .. so stick with that measurement .... this will work for you ...

Now you have to tell me, lol, why are you sticking with the bobble, lol ??? Do you really like it, lol ??????????????????????

Hi, your pages would load at the same speed if you used the full size image of the ones you have there at the moment.
The images you have on your site are not proper thumbnails; they have just been made smaller using the handles on the side of the image & this won’t reduce the KB size.
If you feel the page is loading ok at the moment, use the same images with the light box, (But not recommended) Its worth remembering that the light box will not reduce the kb’s to help the page loading times, it just artificially makes the image look smaller until you click on it to enlarge them.
The Gallery is a better option as it creates a smaller thumbnail in size & KB’s, if the create thumbnail box is ticket when putting the gallery together.

Good luck.
