Thanks to all those so far who've advised and guided me in the ways!

Websites been totally regrooved. Colours are a lot better now and the links look improved! Was totally blinded by the old pattern background and I'm glad you dudes snapped me out of it!

Still a lot of ground to cover content wise but the mothership is definately clear of the ground! Albeit only by a few yards!

Thanks again.

nice, i like it

i like your site full on information, the only thing i don't like is that the site i black it could do with a bit more colour, the world map in the middle looks fine to me and the links are all ok,

Must say i would make the links on the left hand side a bit smaller because they take up far to much space on the page.

apart from that i like the site and sorry for the things i don't like.

Okay brothers, the world image is wierd one, In Fireworks it appears fine but online its not rounded!
Anyway I've changed it to the gif variant, so it should be okay now.

You know whats really twisting the noodle is?
Its the pop-up menus I'm working on for the world map, they don't line up on the image I've inserted them if it's in a layer! But if the image isn't in a layer it does work!
Strange is is not?

Looking much better now,
still a problem with the world image,
I notice it is a png file, change it to gif or jpg.
That will speed the load up time.

Okay webmasters, just re-vamped the site for some of the main pages,

background now neutral black, no pattern background anymore!
Navigation table, changed. It now is blue text along with the main body!

Does it look any better? I think it does!

Divs

"Don't use divs went the the cry!"
Only problem is how do I move my pictures about on the screen in dreamweaver, magic? With out using layers for the images they mess up all the text and either clunk about in the center,left,right or top!
Love to know how to get round this problems guys.
Keep 'em coming!

use divs if you want just use percent insted of pixels

I just visited the other pages and you used divs on all images! don't do that!!

I don't like the background image. Don't use them, use colours instead.

The navigation is booooooooooooring. Agian, use colours for your table, but grey and blue don't match. get rid of the borders on ur table too.

also, on your origins page, the images overlap the text a bit. This is becaues you are using divs to position your images. nIf you resize the screen, then the images stay in the same place and the rest of the page moves. try to avoid using divs to position images like that, believe me it never works.

Quote: What do you mean by 'slice' the image of the world?

I dont know what graphic package you are using!!!

I use fireworks because it works really well with dreamweaver,

In fireworks, all you do it open your image and slice it up and insert it into your layout table. Take a look at my site to see this in practice www.lcdirect.com Notice the top left ot the page with the little man , the top half is a normal image and the bottom half is the bottom of the original image but inserted as a backgrownd. This enables me to write over the top if needed in the future.

I hope this helped
