I had wanted to add this link. My ISP does somethimg similar with the small tables down one side. I've been eyeing this setup for a while, becuase I like it a lot..thinking of trying it.

Okay..but I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I'm taking about a 9 cell expandable table...where the 2 cells on top the top right and left are height and width, the 2 cells on the bottom left and right are fixed height and width, the middle cells both left and right are fixed width but 100 percent height. The middle cell both top and bottom are fixed height and 100 percent width. And the very center cell is 100 percent of the window.

That allows the table to appear properly at any setting.

The directions for this table can be found on Suzanne's 'Tables Demystified' page.

Thank you for ALL your comments! Roo, I didn't want an expandable table, because it looked really bad at 1024x768, it was way to wide....So, I went with the fixed width. It's doing great though! About 500 impressions a day!

The layout is very nice, it looks clean and well organized:

A few things I see:

Interior pages have huge whitespace where the nav menus go down the sides but there isn't content to fill the middle.

Using fixed width:
Have you looked at this at all screen res settings? It looks like at bit too much space around the table at 800X, it scrolls at 640 X, and at 1024 X it there is waaaaaayyy too much space around the table.

On the logo, it looks fine, except maybe make the "The Ultimate Webmaster Resource Directory" white intead of gray so that it shows up better.

The color scheme is wonderful and the general layout is great. I'd just tweak the table, so that it works well at any screen res setting. Have you considered an expandable table?

No, you are wrong robp. The one guy that updates the site is on vacation and he didn't get a chance to add my links yet. He will as soon as he gets back.

Sorry to open this up again but I am interested.

It seems that you are just linking to the site to get money from click-thru's, which is misleading when you say "they are part of our network". Or I may be wrong?

Once again, don't like to stuff that's "coming soon". Just take that link out for now. Since you're using SSI for the menus (I guess...) that should be easy to do.

For your scripts you should indicate which browsers they work for. I think it also might be a good idea to indicate the name of the site that hosts the resource (ie. where you're sending them to)

Overall the page looks really nice though. Good colour scheme, good navigation, good logo. Good, good, good!

I didn't want to use a % because it looked REALLY weird on my monitor (21"). It was way to big. So I used a fixed width instead, I like it better too. I have more control of the layout. Thanks for all your comments!

I have a good coment. It doesnt auto scale its self to the resolution you are running in. If you are using tables you should use % instead of hard coded pixels as then you can get it to look right and full size of all resolutions.
