Hi :)
My website is no more than an unfinished index page at the moment - no links work yet - so let me know if this is in the wrong BV forum.
website name: make-website (dot) com
(I don't want to put a direct link to the site, as I don't want anything linking to a site under construction.)
I would like to pick your brains, if I may.
I'm a content writer, and people I write for often don't even have a website yet - and ask me how you go about getting a site together. I couldn't find any dead-simple guides on the net, or sites that aren't very biased and hard-selling products, so I'm putting this one together.
I didn't know how to show you BV'ers without putting it online. Unfortunately, google indexed it straightaway. (there's something called a robots.txt file that will fix this?)
Sorry about the essay! and thanks for any opinions :)

Firstly, I want my site to work in both 800 and 1024 width - do you think this is feasible? I intend putting more info outside the 'zone' (outside the 800 width, to the right) later on.
Does the bright orange give you a headache? My son says yes!
I want to take the logo (which is in Matisse font) & orange BV flag shape behind it - and make it into an image. I can't copy and paste into photoshop or anything else - it won't paste anywhere! If I leave it as it is, then someone who does not have the Matisse font on their computer will be looking at some font I didn't intend. Does anyone know what to do here? (I know the photo underneath this needs the byte size reduced!)
I want to have each option in the menu bars come up with a small pop-up text when moused over, rather than leading to another page. Each pop-up text box would briefly explain what each option means, and would include a link to more info. I don't want a home page that's full of writing, but don't want people to have to click to another page just to find a quick answer either. Would you personally find the pop-up boxes annoying?
