Hi all, thanks for all your comments. I have chucked up an enchanced version of the site that certainly feels better to use. Hope you like, if you don't tell me!

Cheers,

Me!

'I was odd', I meant to say 'it was odd'.

I agree with some of others that it seems like things are kind of just floating around. I am not sure if it was mentioned, but your 'rants' section doesn't appear to be working. Overall, it is easy to navigate and the content kept me interested. I was so odd, I was intrigued. Also, maybe add some more color. I think it is alittle too white.

Interesting subject matter. It looks a little "loose" to me. Too much just floating around the white page. I would tighten things up a bit. Funny concept though.

The thing that struck me was the fact that the lines of text were too long. i kept jumping from one line to the next. Perhaps some sort of box on the left side with some information in?

ok i might have been a tad in polite before. let me try again.

i like the idea of icons with the links but try and make sure they are all similar style and of good quality. In addition the link text is very small on firefox mac, could you make it bigger?. i dont think the logo stands out well with the coloured graphics below, maybe make the icons B&W or have a big AM I SANE? vertically down the left side of the site.

Hi,
Clever idea.

Frames=go. Make a nice heading with better nav images and spruce up that logo. Not bad the way it is, but too small as it gets lost in the rest of the stuff.

Try a little color and formatting on your rant pages.

Keep at it!

i would suggest taking up golf. how can we critique when its almost all text, limited graphics or good pictures.i returned to this forum asking myself "am i sane"

Thanks guys, good starters for ten.

I kinda thought that frames would have been accepeted by now as general use, but I bow to your greater knowledge so maybe some style sheets and more php on the way....

I'm no graphic designer so I take all your comments on the graphics and layout on the chin. I'm surpirsed on the fact poeple don't like moving images, but that's cool, I can fix that dead easy. Dullness yes, I agree but I'm a network designer not a graphics designer so don't really know what to do - suggestions more than welcome!

W3 validator - all points noted I'll work on them. Full admisssion to not having passed it through. (I'll also admit to using frontpage in the main (with notepad as backup best editor in the world) - hence errors!!)

Search engines - points noted - again not an area of exertise but its surprising what can be done. Anyone got any good suggestions for non frames based frames like pages? How do people do this normally (ebay/dell, etc)???? I'm assuming php with a header/footer and then content from an sql database or something but it's a whole new area for me! Can't be hard cos other people do it.

Titles on the content pages - yeah point taken, I thought the same. It's really quite tricky all this! I'm impressed I've managed to do the PHP and SQL from scratch to do the real purpose of the site but all the intricacies are what makes a goodun.

Basically I think you've told me what I already know - dull boring and kill the frames but it's nice to hear it from other people.

Thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated and I'll see what can be done (or more realistically what I can actually do!)

Cheers, will check back soon......

Regards,

Me
