Ok I gave in, added some links to the top (and an extra page), where should the links go, middle or to the right?
home and past are in middle, links and contact are right.

I'm also playing with two fonts idea as Megan suggested but can't find two that go together well, so this may not happen.

Puddle is better. But it still looks like a random blob from just-above-average distance. Might just be my eyes... :freak:

Puddle looks much more like a puddle now

I think it's nice, clean & fresh - just how I like my sites! Only thing I have to say is about the lack of navigation.

fixed the 'green blob' and compressed the images - how is loading time now?

Very nice and clean cut, I like it.

the "green blob" is meant to be a puddle lol, or hopefully will be. Might have to copy one as they look like smudges or blobs
It kind of had a meaning when I did it but doesnt look like anyone got it (my world dripping into the sites kind of thing) making it full height is to much, using a div messes up in IE6 and just ending looks broken, maybe if I turn the blob into a fish tank or something. I was going to fix it with the background but again IE6 ruined that.

So the top naviagtion is an issue, hmmm maybe if i just out "navigation at bottom" link at the top
problem listing the site names (even in drop down) is one of the sites has a really long name "Busys mschat help and resource site" which I can't really shorten, maybe "mschat help" but the resource section is a big part of it.
maybe just have a random link of the day?

The first thing I was looking for was a navbar of some sort too. Just put something there so people know that they're not missing anything.

You are aware of your writing problems so I won't comment on that. One idea for the logo would be to try to mix two fonts - this could be tricky, but you could use fonts to emphasize "munch" and "tech" as separate concepts brought together.

What's with that green blob on the left side???

Thanks, those images that change are something I made years ago (program called terrian - makes 3d landscapes) and have always wanted to use them. there are 9 images in total, I was only going to use one, the one with the water the same as the puddle (meant to be a puddle) colour. If you hold your mouse over the alt, the message kind of blends the image with the title/theme (kind of), well was hoping it would

drop down for just the munchtech site or for all the sites listed?
I don't like drop downs much as drop downs arent very accessible friendly (just displays a lump) but was thinking of making the names of the sites (in bold blue) links.

Thanks for the ezhtml comment, I'm hoping to get the updates finished soon but have been playing with update on the humour site and life gets in the way a little the new update has more css and xhtml stuff, no fancy stuff, just stuff that works.

One of the things I'm not 100% happy with and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, is the font (and even colour) of the top banner name thing.

Would welcome some newcomers comments, I don't bite - much

Thanks for the CSS Busy

And, Sonia, I didn't realise that the images change till you just mentioned it that's pretty cool Busy

No cimplaints by me

hehe, "Welcome to my world." reminds me of that old song, "Welcome to my world" by some male artise, I can't remember who...

Oh cool! I just noticed that a different image appears in the top picture when you reload the page. It took me a minute to figure that out. I thought to myself, "now I know you aren't crazy but that image didn't look like that a minute ago".

Looks nice busy. Really my only complaint (not really a complaint but a color preference) is the images that are in the top thingy don't match the colors of your site and don't seem to fit the "feel" of the site. I don't have any suggestions though. Just thought I'd comment.

Since you aren't going to put nav links anywhere, have you thought about putting one of those drop down boxes with the links. Sort of a quick link thing? Maybe at the top right??

BTW, you have done an excellent job with EZHTML. Great site!!
