I'm finally ready to come out of the closet

Re: I'm finally ready to come out of the closet

Thanks for all the comments and I'll be trying to implement some of them. I'll just have to play around with some stuff to get it right.

To those that asked, yes the "ArlineFishingCharter" website is mine. I had access to create and modify up to 10 pages but the eDIY guys who control the servers, headers and trailers are hopeless when it comes to getting crucial changes made. It even took a whole year to get them to send me an invoice.

So I decided to move but I had to recreate everything first. Vodahost is cheaper and allows me more pages so I figure I'm on a winner. As soon as this draft is finalised it will be replacing my old one.

If you OWN that domain name then you have several options open to you:

1) Transfer the domain name to vodahost servers.
2) Point the dns of that domain name to vodahost servers.
3) Redirect that domain name to your new site (good for SEO's)
4) Change the home page to "SITE CLOSED" or 1 large LINK to your new site.

Hi, like the new feel. Just need to bring the page down to 950-100-wide to stop the side scroll, & the menu needs to go to the left to center in the left column.

No, my intention is to transfer the domain and then overwrite it with what I'm testing now (when I am happy with it)

Hi Chris,

Can you check to see if this is still happening. All pages are set for 1000 wide but everytime I do a cut'n'paste the definition changes if the paste wanders over the boundary. Wish I could lock the definition in.

Oh and one last thing. I have deliberately moved the menu slightly to the right so that it overlaps the photo. I've played around with the look and in my humble but often accurate opinion this gets the best result. (Did I mention my modesty too?)

Hi Muzza,
I liked the other header more. But this one is a super photo as well.
Just noticed a typo on the first page of your recipes. Under whether to fillet or not. You have wether and I bet you can imagine some Aussie males comments.
The other area of text i noticed something that your editing missed. (You can edit 100 times and still miss something if you are doing it yourself) In the Paihia Paintball section you have 'Stag do, work Do, sports Do or just a group' If you keep it the same way both the second & third do would start with lower case. My suggestion would be to change it to 'Stag, work and sport events or just a group of friends' The reason being, i think that 'a do' might be New Zealand & Aus English, although I am not sure.

Thanks Sandra. Have taken your advice. Definitely a Kiwi saying and the audience for that link would probably be Kiwi only but you never know. It's better to make it clear.

As for the photo in my header .... Hows this for an option?

That's looking better on the 1000 wide part. You also need to go to your menu & right click & bring to the front as its dropping down behind the Free Phone (NZ).

Re: I'm finally ready to come out of the closet

Thanks Chris, I had just moved the contact details in front of the menu because the link to my email wasn't working. Didn't spot that the menu was then disappearing behind the phone number. Thanks, all sorted now.

That looks better.

Hi Muzza,
That one would be my choice. I just want to be out there. (The thing is I don't fish so my choice might not be the best) i have a friend who used to sail there regularly. I think it might be one of the things she misses most. And btw we have plenty of 'doooos' accross the water. Had to spell it like that dos sounded like an operating system or counting in another language.

Re: I'm finally ready to come out of the closet

hi nice page. I like the idea of the menu overlaping the image. but your logo on the right hand top looks a bit chopped can you overlap that too on the image to give it a completeness.

Re: I'm finally ready to come out of the closet

Thanks for the suggestion onionpai. I gave it a try but I prefer my original version
