Re: blue orvers junior soccer

you have done a great job ... well done ...

just one quick comment ... we normally stick to around 800 in width for pages ... your pages would look good if they were centred in the browser ... right click on an empty part of the page, select page properties and check centre in browser ... then republish.

You have done a good job on site...well done

I agree with white shepard, you need to centre the pages, and use an 800 width, one other thing the secure graphic...i think that is what it says is very hard to read.

Keep up the good work. it is good to see another kiwi discovering blue voda

thanks
Mark.

Hi Matt,

Your external links or links to other sites take the visitor off your site, dangerous as we might not return (LOL) Change the Target from _self

Cheers,

Re: blue orvers junior soccer

If you are worried about the text or button name overlapping or being to big in a nav bar you can easily create your own:

• Place a block from the BV 'shape tool' on your page (in the position where you would like your nav button to fit) drag the corners until your a pleased with the size.
• Right click on this shape>HTML>have a look at width="200" height='40'
• Open any graphic program you have and create two buttons (usually light and dark in colour) to those dimensions. (some programs will allow you to use a "dropper tool" to colour match with aspects on your website or template)
• Save the individual files to: C:>Program files>bluevoda website builder>navbar (or similar on your PC)
• Now if you open the navigation icon in BV>style>you can scroll through Image: Normal and mouse over to find your new 'custom buttons'

Cheers,

Re: blue orvers junior soccer

Good start,
A couple of things to take care of:
-About page width, while percentage wise, more and more pcs are at 1028x , there are a significant number of users at 800px. Even at 1028 (mine) your page shows a horizontal scroll, probably because you have set width at 1050px.
-Your logo on header needs tweaking, make it look more professional. Take a close look and you'll notice blue spots around the text; this could be from enlarging it, or copying from another source. Try Paint.net or another program to fix it or saving as a .gif file. Check out Collector's thread on images and downloading Paint.net
-Consider a smaller font size (currently set at 19) and eliminating the bold, make it easier to read.
-You have a very long NavBar menu, might want to consider regrouping some of the categories. For example Maps, Coordinators and Grades might be lumped together or team Websites and Links.

Good luck with the season.
