    Re: From across the pond

    (Best Robert Newton pirate voice...) Aarrgh, matey! Sure as me scuppers are on the poopdeck this be a fine site. What a minute... er, we're talking sailing of a different kind. Sorry. I don't have a clue as to 'naff', but your site put a smile on my face and I liked the music... ah, uplifiting like a draft of air? Good stuff, Allan! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished work.

    The bottom link buttons 'Online Entry' and 'Contact Us' looked like they could drop down just a bit more below the text... just a bit.

    Thanks for sharing, Allan!

      Nice work,
      There seems to be a link behind "Wolds Gliding Club" that isn't active yet.
      Consider titles for your pages.

        Glenmike thanks for your advice I moved the contact down a little. BTW naff is British slang for uncool. Bill2006 your quite right, my link was incorrect, thanks for taking the time to look. I'll add titles as well Cheers old chap. Tally ho!

            Hey McCirrus

            I like your site and I couldn't get that tune out of my head for an hour after that. Naff maybe but it leaves a lasting impression. I'm a bit sight impaired and found the text on the center of your home page a bit difficult to read in the font you have used.

            All up it looks good,nice work!

              Thanks guys, ive removed some of the less clear pictures, i'd made them gif images hoping they would load quicker but the loading rate doesnt seem to be an issue. I've taken your comments on board about the text size and readability and will look for an alternative.

                    Thanks Ryan appreciate that and Intiendes i've got a contact link at the bottom but i guess i could add a contacts page.
                    Whilst I've got your attention could you check out my microsoft agent which was so kindly shown to me on another voda site. I'd be interested to know if Merlin Appears on your screen and does he speak to you?

                        Re: From across the pond

                        Hi Mr Cirrus ... I like your music, I like music on sites, although I don't use it for a number of reasons, I like it ....

                        Yes, Merlin works for me on that page, and he doesn't speak, lol, although he puts out text ... lol .... I think there are some limitations of this working for some people as you have to have use IE or something, sorry can't remember what it is I want to tell you here ... someone will pick up on this and let you know ...

                        You have a great nav bar there, pretty well organized, it would be nice if the entire nav bar was on every page of your site, thereby allowing viewing to go wherever they wanted to from every page, as opposed to hitting back to get to the nav bar each time, just my preference to be able to nav through a site from every page .....

                        It looks really really nice!! Great job and interesting too!!

                          Thanks LadyEye, your right i need to put my menu bar on every page. I can paste it on OK. However, if i subsequently deciede to change it slightly does that mean i have to go through every page and repaste the new menu on. I wonder, is there someway you can have a master menu that when changed on my index page will also change on all the other pages i have it shown on. Can anyone help me with this?

                              Site looks great. Just a few housekeeping items that I saw:
                              1. Organization in your menu bar is misspelled
                              2. On the Daily News page, there seems to be something behind the text box
                              3. I saw some html code at the top of the News Entries page. Also a box with an X in it, followed my mouse. Is Merlin suppose to be there? If so, he's not.
                              4. On Champions, Merlin is there, but doesn't speak, although I do get a text box
                              5. Media About Gliding page not found

                              The only other comment as mentioned above, is consistancy on the nav bar on every page. Also I got the feeling I was going to different sites with the different background colors. Maybe once you have your nav bar on every page, it won't feel that way to me. I love the clouds background on one of the pages.

                              I don't mean to be nit picky here, but I do like your site and the music. Have fun with it!!
