    Re: New Website For Review

    Got to be one of the best i have seen yet. Your doing a great job on the graphics. The only pain which is not your fault is viewing in FF. Got quite a bit of over lap on the text. I can see your trying to get the<h1> tag in & doing it via 2 input boxes. I know its a pain, but might have to make a bit more space & do it something like below. & pop it in an html box.
    Just an idea.
    But on the good side the page is brilliant.

    <h1><font style="font-size:16px" color="#39321E" face="Arial"><b>THE TRAVEL GUIDE TO BACKPACKING SOUTH AFRICA</b></font></h1>
    <font style="font-size:16px" color="#39321E" face="Arial">South Africa is fast becoming the destination of choice to global backpackers and adventure seekers, with plenty on offer for these new age independent travelers. Cape Backpackers features South Africa backpacker’s accommodation, adventure activities, travel information and tours. The Cape is the jewel of Africa and a tourist paradise incorporating wildlife, mountains, endless beaches, beautiful wine routes and an assortment of cultural heritage. From the untouched beaches, numerous harbours and waterfronts to the rugged unspoiled wilderness of the interior, the natural beauty of the Cape has something on offer for everyone.
    The <b>BAS BUS</b> hop on hop off backpackers bus service is a convenient, flexible and safe way to see South Africa. Travelers can hop on and off the bus as often as they like along the route: Cape Town, .

      Hey your site looks fantastic and all appears okay in IE.

      When I scroll over the head of the Bird on the right hand side my arrow turns into a link hand but there is no link.????

      Some of your pages aren't loading but you may still be working on these.

      Great Graphics as Chris mentioned.

          Hi all,

          Thanks for the birds heads up, it should not have been a link.
          Chris, I'll rethink the FF overlapping.

          Thank You,
          Andrew

            Hi Philip,

            I was holding back on some of the "missing pages" until I was happy with the home page, hopefully later today or tommorrow.

            Cheers,

                  If a man spoke in the woods, and no woman was around to hear, is he still wrong?

                          Thanks Mike,
                          With the strength of the '$' against our currency, the only thing most Americans can't afford is 'the time'. LOL
