  • My new blog

    hey leon the site looks good - very clean, well organised. the only thing i would say is, there is little to distinguish it from a lot of other websites out there. try and stamp your own identity into it, at the moment it looks like a template

  • quick critique

    first off, the design is great. i don't think its too complex. as long as something happens when a user clicks on the big image, you should be fine with non-industry users.

  • Issue on IE 6 & 7

    make the 5 stars one image instead of 5. then give it a class or id. then use this identifier to give it some relative positioning to make it line up how you want. Use this code in your html to give special instructions for IE6

  • Divs within Footer are stuck!

  • Repeatable Header

    Easiest way would probably be to make a very wide header background image and align it centre. Since it's greyscale its file size shouldnt be too big, and will save on markup.

  • fluid with div

    if you want the width of the div to be the same as the body all you have to do is not declare a width on the div, it will inherit width from the body.

  • How do I link an entire or ?

    Is this legal? Lol, dont worry noone will arrest you for doing that. However, its not valid html. If you want to link an entire or which has nothing inside, you will need to use javascript: beware though, this wont work without javascript.
