Ello scotia, we meet again!

IMHO the header looks broken, not sure if thats the effect you wanted to give, if so it works...lol, I like the palegallery animation

I would put a light shade into the menu area and maybe rollovers, I checked your site out afew days back and was waiting for a threads to view and review :P

Great site and cool work, works well in IE, Firefox, but not aligning correctly in Opera, well done.

I have only one problem with your site: font size is too small…I’m well known from drinking alcoholic beverages but for Christ sake I’m not blind yet (at least I hope so…). It was really hard for me and probably for other users as well to “read” your web page. Everything else is very nice.

**scotia** · 10-27-2004, 04:44 PM

Thanks folks, I really appreciate your time!

Yip Shaamone, it is meant to be clean and simple...Ive got archived versions which are far "busier" and got on my nerves!

lol, Pixel Putty, thanks for your comments! we do meet again

the "broken" header, is that the wee flash thingy or the cat & red?...it does need more alignment through flash! I could put rollovers, and change the menu area colour, but the javascripts for the rollovers and the iframe clash...I have to work on that...plus, what you see is all one page apart from the updatedable area in the middle, again, Ill work on that, giving me more flexiblity with colours etc...it does mean it loads quite quick though. Im glad of the FireFox rec tho, I dont have that! I must make more use of other browsers.

Im aware that verdana 10pt is quite small, (Im partial to a wee dram myself!) but its pretty standard, and doesnt "jump about", and of course most folks have it. What screen res do you use sur60446?...Im working to the 'ol 1024*768 on a 19inc monitor, I must check it out on other peoples screens!

THanks to all who reviewed, and Ill keep you all posted!...again, much appreicated!

I got: 1280 x 854 19" wide screen. With your font size I was almost sticking my nose inside my monitor. But overall your web page is very nicely design. Good job!

**Ark** · 10-27-2004, 06:10 PM

I think it a very neat design...

just a quick question... when you right click on your page how do you make the menu come smaller... I mean when I made flash stuff and i right clicked on them a long menu with a lot of stuff appears on it but your is not the same and I wanted to know this for a long time.. could you please tell me how to do this.. thanks

**mycycle2** · 10-27-2004, 06:44 PM

Nice desgin. I am not liking the pale script that runs...you can't really see it...actually it is an annoyance. Your navigation on the needs to change color so a user knows what is being selected.

**pixelputty** · 10-28-2004, 08:08 AM

Its the cat and red, it just doesn`t look right, I`m very picky you know :P

**mass** · 10-28-2004, 12:43 PM

Im no expert btw. Its great but the scrollbars dont fit into the whole theme. You should make them a nondefault scrollbars, like black or something. Hard to explain.

**ejumblesale** · 10-28-2004, 09:27 PM

Hi I am afraid your site just looks a bit dull to me and the fonts could be slightly too small.

**NateDogg** · 10-29-2004, 01:07 AM

It doesn't look right in my version of mozilla, looks a lot better in IE.

I was also expecting mouseovers for the navbar...

All in all a pretty nice site.

**scotia** · 10-29-2004, 10:06 AM

Hiya!...Thanks for all your comments again folks, much appreciated!
OK...PixelPutty!, ok, ok, I can *see* what you mean about the cat & red, but...lol...I like that bit!..so it has to stay for now!

Again, mycycle2, I DO need to modify the runner (palegallery thingy)...I really just wanted a little bit of movement on the front page, until I get around to doing a flash intro, but yeah, your right!

ejumblesale, I had a wee peek at your site too, and I can understand why mine might seem quite dull for you!, but if we all had the same ideas, the web would be very boring!...

Hmmm, the scrollbars ARE custom, so Im concerned about that now!...they are little white arrows only...

sur60446, lol...*remove your nose*! see these posh folks wie big monitors!...I do take on board the font issues, I guess I make em smaller to get more in, or because most folks have their browsers set to medium fonts, which of course makes it larger, but I think Ill stick with it for now....

Im going to rework the script to allow for rollovers, yeah, everyone was right on that point, you WOULD expect them do "do something", and hopefully "jazz it up a little" but not OTT, Im in a *quiet* phase of design right now! lol

Thanks so much for all comments, s'brilliant!

Hiya Ark, Ill need to go through it again, but the flash export options are what allow you to minimise the right click scripts,..

WOMEN!!!

**martian2k4** · 10-29-2004, 12:59 PM

not a bad design its clean and easy to navigate

**scotia** · 01:20 PM

@ pixelputty ......hehehe....and your point is caller?

scotia

**zidev** · 10-29-2004, 01:48 PM

I love the examples on your site... I just think you should have a portfolio of other peoples sites that you have already done. Your examples show your skills well but your site theme itself doesnt realy show your graphical expertise at all. Other then that you are very very talented! Good job.

That no matter what one says, a female will always do her best to go the other way...lol

**scotia** · 10-29-2004, 07:29 PM

Every website has to showcase the abilities of the designer right? *ducks*...ok been working on this mp3 player for a wee while, it incorporates an xml playlist...Ive always found xml really HARD...so although it might be a small step ...its a big'un for me!...

Id really appreciate, (I know lots of you have been wonderful already!) but, if you have time, please go and check out my updates to http://www.palegallery.com .

You know you want to!!!!

lol, cheers, Scotia...who havig a fab time in Glasgae!
