WONDERFUL! I love your colors, pictures, etc. Everything about your site makes me want to come back. I do see what Beth means about the scrolling. Other than that what a GREAT design!

I have to admit that I missed the interior scrollbar the first time or two that I stepped into your site . . . but it may have been that I was just in awe of the sheer beauty in there! I'll have to go back and play more, so I saved it for viewing on breaks & such!

Re: New theme - see any gremlins?

Right, well I have to say I am overwhelmed by everyone's positive feedback! I never thought people would like my pics...

I've re-done the theme to scroll down alllll the way - no interior scrollbar anymore.

I'm still working on a way to allow visitors to choose a stylesheet depending on their screen resolution, so for now the theme looks best at 1024x768 or larger.

I've added a "Contact me" page on the sidebar.

Would you all please quickly go see if it works any better ... AND if I missed anything in the re-coding? I tend to fix one thing and break three others <grin>.

Don't know what you did - but am not getting the same website now - seeing what appears to be your blog - blue - Fractal Parrot?

Haha, yes oops, that was me. It should be ok now!

You accessed the site at the very moment I was (yet again) uploading the stylesheet ... WordPress seems to have reset itself to the default theme because of that. LOL.

Like I wrote to my friend on MSN just now, 'that was 18 hours of boredom followed by 2 minutes of utter panic'!

Looks Great! The only foo pa I saw was on your home page right below your header on the left end of the line, this text overlaps the line and is not very readable...This site and its contents &#169; Leoni Venter 2006 That was the only problem I could see. No problem missing the scroll now!!
SUPERB!!

I think you just need to hit 'Refresh' to fix that one, it's still trying to use the old positioning of the copyright notice.

Re: New theme - see any gremlins?

Well, after much sweat and coding (which didn't work and got thrown out) I found a cool little plug-in that does exactly what I wanted...

So now I have a little drop-down box at the top of the sidebar labeled "Themes". It contains two versions of my current theme, one for 800x600 and the other for 1024x768 or larger. Choose one, let the page load in...

If nothing appears to happen, please Refresh your browser window. I notice that IE doesn't always bother to check the datestamp on stylesheets.

I'll be glad for any more comments, suggestions and feedback. I really appreciate every comment so far, as you've definitely made me do more than my usual lazy thing to make this site as good as possible!

Re: New theme - see any gremlins?

That's a neat little plug-in - now, the question is, how many people will use or understand it? LOL - But I wouldn't worry about it - the vast majority of searchers are now on 1024 or above.

Looks good - I like it much better without the scroll bar in the page!

And isn't it always the case - that I caught the site right during a transition :)

Well, there you go, Bethers, just because someone can use BV and design a website, doesn&#180;t mean he knows what he is doing! Still don&#180;t know what you meant by scroll thing, but the line and the copy have now moved and the copy to the bottom
of the page, but the line is overlapping "previous entries".

Saludos,

Re: New theme - see any gremlins?

LOL Charles - you just made my point in a previous post - and you didn't even realize it! It was karma, I think :)

Re: New theme - see any gremlins?

Well, then let&#180;s hope we meet again in such a way! How fun.

Ah, I know what's causing that .. thanks for reminding me, Charles! I fixed it in the 800x600 layout but not the 1024x768 one.

It'll be just a minute ... <grin>

Ah well, at least I know it's there if someone really wants it <grin>.

Considering how many times yesterday I uploaded modified files (like I'm doing right now!) it's surprising that it didn't happen more...

Thanks again for your constructive comments, you've helped a lot!
