thanks

simple...yet has a nice straight forward style. There really isnt much to complain about...works in opera...loads fast..looks good so i like it! lol


edit: Maybe a suggestion....you could easily turn that I-frame into a flash file. It would get rid of that big ugly scroll bar in the middle of your layout and you could dynamically update from a text file(if you wanted) Just a suggestion.

I really like it i think the layout is refreshing,,,
the only think i can see better is if when you clicked on a link the pages would actualy move around. I know it must be hard but it would be a classic.

I like it. It's comforting, like the intro to Dawson's Creek. Old school style.

thanks for the compliment. i started this this morning and got the whole thing to a working state in photoshop. but i am busy in photoshop doing just what you said. it will actually change the pages to which you choose. and like you said, it not the easist thing ;)

but i will not be happy until that is done.

nice idea. two questions. would the flash file be able to take html tags? and do you know where i can find a tutorial or something to find out how to do this.

i really like it, the only suggestion i have is move the nav to the top, just cause i didnt see it at first buts that not really important

I believe the flash file will only take html tags for formatting text. You formatted with css...and with flash you really dont need either of them. Once you make a text box in flash...then you just gotta pick whatever type/size you want...so formatings already taken care of (unless you want a specific layout...but this is just straight text so its no problem). Then all you do is type your news in a plain text file(notepad)...and flash will load the text from the file..so no editing flash or anything like that when you need to update.

Here are some tuts if your interested:

finished :D
took long enough, since i wanted it to reuse as many images as possible to keep the size down, but i finally did it.
