Thanks for all your input and Netscape troubleshooting.

With some new marketing ventures underway, I decided to launch the new site today - it is now top level at:

Hopefully I have got a handle on all the netscape issues(with the exception of sticky's perhaps)

I've decided to stick with the sidebar for now. It is a carryover from the old site anyway so it is not going to shock anyone familiar with it. I'll think about replacing/modifying it down the road.

Have I mentioned what a great forum this is?

I like it

Hi taff, I like your site, its clean simple and the whole concept seems to work. Your site loads pretty quick too (9 secs on my 56k modem). The navigation is intuitive which I like. Overall you have a good site and a very impressive portfolio.

The only gripe I have is that the mouseover images dont work properly in NS 6 (then again it could just be my version as its quite buggy) but apart from that it works well in both NS 6 and IE4+

Keep up the good work.

P.S Those eyes down the left! Cool.

You are right. Maybe you can switch it at a later date - but I wouldn't either - for now!!

I went to the first page and it read corectly... (profile) when I clicked on the nave it then went back to the same problem... the layer is off to the right .

Aha!

That's all!

I was wondering when that was going to come up. Yes, years ago, I chose Comic Sans and Impact as my logo fonts. Bad call on my part. In fact, one of the main motivations for redesigning the site is to get rid of the existing Comic "motif" that had developed as a result of it.

Unfortunately, the logo is a little more complicated. As I mentioned above, it exists beyond the web. It is on business cards, envelopes, letterhead paper, brochures, advertising, etc. - I'm not too eager to tackle the task of reproducing all that right now.

On the other hand, the fact that I'm still here agonizing over it makes me think that perhaps the "unprofessional font" isn't that big an issue.

Perhaps a new logo may be in the future but I'll probably stumble forwards as is for now

Dorn, is this the case for the following page as well?

I think the site is very original. I especially like the effect you did with the links. Neat-O!

The eyes...well, I liked them at first. Looked unique but then I started starting at them individually....LOL and some of them will give you the creeps. Especially the one dude that is three pics below the owl. He needs to go. Considering the name of your site,(sitesunseen) I think that the eyes are fine.

The color of the links at the bottom of the page and the site address that is below them might look better if they were a little darker or the same color as the table border and headers. But then again it might look uck. Just a thought.

Everything else looks great to me. I love your portfolio.....impressive!!
