What TAS stands for

TAS is my initials. It's a foundation which I want to live long after I'm dead. By using my initials I make a difference and my spirit will live forever. A foundation should be a never diying thing.

Looking better but (always a but with me - sorry)

Your layout now is more to the point and is doing what it should, which is great, but am now thinking the wording and picture maybe arent suited, The site to me has gone from a personal one to a professional one but has a lot of the personal left over (this is good, dont get me wrong - read on)
your text reads "Information and pictures of amputees living with a handicap" This should maybe be reworded as it kinda sounds like your parading these peoples pics, how about something along the lines of "Help and Information for amputees living with a handicap" but even then the word "handicap" isnt a nice word, doctors classed me as 5% disabled (i have a stuffed knee) but I dont see it as a handicap or disabilty, to me its an incovience, I realise its a whole different league but the general public see "handicaped" as a monster or something, my ex-girlfirend is in a wheelchair, even the chair to a lot of people means she is a less of a person, she isnt, shes the same as everyone else just has wheels instead of feet.

also the "we try to be an inspiration", the word "try" could maybe be swaped for something else, "we are .." "we aim to be ..." or even just "an inspiration to all"

I'm also thinking maybe your picture belongs on a different page, the your story page, or maybe add another persons picture so its not so "my homepage" looky

does "TAS" stand for anything? maybe put that under the TAS

sorry for rambling on, even ignoring the above its looking better, keep up the good work

That photo is a little too fuzzy around the edges there. Try to fix that up. Also shrink down your drop shadows - those are way too big (one of my pet peeves...) Otherwise it looks good.

Refurnished the first page again

See if this is better.

I have not sliced it up. It's 80 kb so it takes a little time to load. The two language buttons doesn't work yet.

Let me know what you think now. Is it better??

Ok, I love the way you have done most of it & I think that peach suits that page best.

Things I don't like are
- the picture - not the actual picture but the softness/mistiness I just don't think it fits in well.
- the [enter] & [kom inn] I think spoils the overall look. I think people would click the flags without being told to enter, you can put the alt tag as 'enter the english pages' & whatever the german is (can't remember from school )
- the words I feel are in the wrong font, but also should be listed in a slightly different order so they slope better

information
amputation
pictures
cancer

The load time is much, much better for this one. You said there was a varience in color for background of images but I don't see one. If there is, it is so slight that it isn't noticable.

Tor-Andre — Sat, 01 Dec 2001 19:19:05 +0000

The background has not been changed yet. Still trying out different styles and css. Have not yet decided what to go for.

The pictures should now show. The mistake in html code is now corrected. I've sliced the picture into smaller pictures. Have not yet done anything to correct the things you have pointed out for me to make it a better first page. I also see that when I redused the quality to 60% the background on the picture and the background doesn't match. There is a sligt variance.

I just looked and none of the images are coming up! I'll try again later. I see you are back to peach.

Trouble with spell checkers is that you need to get close to being right for it to know what you are wanting! My husband is terrible at spelling and calls me to try to decipher his emails, etc!!

Busy, Just in case your eyes are bad there is a little button that you can punch before you submit the post. It is called SPELL CHECK. hehehehahahahohoho This might be just the ticket for you. OR just don't worry about it and let everyone learn to laugh at your cute mistakes like I do.
