[xxjanxx]

Ok...it's no where nere done but i'd apreciate any feed back as i go so i thought i'd post my new site here now and hopefully you guys will take a peak at what's done so far and let me know if ya find any glitches...would also apreciate ya popping back from time to time to check on new stuff i add.

So, i've only just signed up and started working with Bluevoda but i think i'm getting the hang of things, there's not much there yet (still working on the home page) but please pop in and see what ya think ...Jan's Place!

Thanks in advance to all those that take a look.

Hi Jan!
It's got a lovely rich look to it - very nice. I don't know whether it's the size or colour of the text you have used but I find it a little difficult to read. Apart from that I like it and look forward to seeing it develop. Nice work!

Hi Jan,

Love your design, gorgeous, the print is a bit small tho and the colour is hard to read on the dark backdrop, and thers a big sideways scroll ....cant wait to see the finished site tho ...really nice work!

Re: Jan's Place!

Pretty Nifty, Jan!

I like your use of features and available ambience to set the mood and to make visitors feel "at home."

The dark colors makes it more difficult to read easily I thought, but that might be from staring at my screen so much these past few days.

>> I enjoy your font design and simplicity that is present throughout, but honestly, I think it is in direct incongruence with the complex and dominant background. Maybe just lightening it up (not changing it) would make a big difference and allow the focal sections to "pop" more than they do now????

I think this is great, and like I said, it communicates warmth and you very well.

Re: Jan's Place!

How come i don't have the big sideways scroll in my browser?....it's all centred nicely!...hmm!... i tried setting the width to 800 and centre it but that just shoved everything over to the right and i had big gap down the left side causing me to scroll sideways to see it all in the centre...what di i do wrong?

Re: Jan's Place!

Ok..i tried a new page with the guide lines in place and it completely cuts the tag board column off, in the preview mode (as in bluevoda) there's a big blank gap all way down the right hand side... hang on!

Would the different screen resolution settings have any baring on this, coz in my browser everything i have published looks fine, there's no sideways scroll at all....it couldn't be more centred if i got the ruler out and measured it all up!...lol
My screen resolution is set on the highest it'll go (1024 by 768 pixels) the lowest it goes is 800 by 600.

Re: Jan's Place!

Yes your right, depends wether you care or not if people have to scroll sideways on browsers that are 800x600 ...like mine lol ...(my pet hate is sideway scrolling)...set to 800 fixes that for most browsers i beleive ....myself i tend to click off a site i always have to side scroll on ..but its your choice at the end of the day :o)

Re: Jan's Place!

I love the warm, rich feel of your site. But have to agree with others on the font size or color. I would try increasing the size first and see if that makes it easier to read. Great Job!

Re: Jan's Place!

yep looks good! I agree with the sideways scroll thing and I had the same problem this morning. Infact I think I fixed it but I am not too sure yet. but if you want help fixing the problem see my thread in the same forum area- "my first website- lots of glass!"
