Link works fine for me.

Not sure at all how to fix this since it's been ages since I use the now deprecated tables for layout

This thread might be of some help

can i ask you a quick qestion. was my green a sickly green? it's meant to be a very very dark green but since i found out about monitor brightness my green is quite sickly looking now. thank you for your help i will look the link up.

I think it looks kind of sickly because of the sickly orange.

You need a better color scheme IMO

Those 2 site are a GREAT place to start looking for color palettes

but i don't know what other colour to use and the dark green looked alright at least it did when my monitor brightness was lower but i will go take a look at the 2 links to see other options. thanks for your help.

Where the hell do you host your website? Its down again!

gg2327 · #10 Nov 9th, 2007, 17:16

x10. they're having a major server problem since 24 hours ago but they are working very hard to fix it so i'm not too worried hopefully.

I see that it's down. You really need to ditch the tables for layout and start using css. It's so much more flexible as well as table layout if frowned upon by the W3C. Once you start using css for layout, you'll wonder why you didn't do it before

gg2327 · #12 Nov 9th, 2007, 22:00

no the site is fine now.

this css sounds so complicated. it took me like almost forever just to get this site up with dreamweaver as i'm extremely incompetent when it comes to this sort of techie thing.

CSS is great. Once you get the hang of it, you'll find it's so much easier to control than tables. Have a look at the CSS resources in the stickies and have a look at some tutorials.....you won't want to go back to tables when you understand it a bit more.......you can even style tables with CSS

well i suppose it won't do me any harm to take a look although right now if i don't design another website i wouldn't feel sorry at all
