But CSS is sooooooo much easer that all that font rubbish (and I'm not a web
person at all). You'll probably find it useful to put in a doctype too.
Firstly so you can see if you code is valid and secondly so you have a
sporting chance of working out how IE will render your code.

Thanks Guys;
You may not believe it; but there is a company selling three and four
page sites worse than this page; I know that for fact. So now it's the
dreaded css for me, at the moment anyway, I just hate css. Nothing goes;
or ever stays' where I put it. Probably because I don't put it there to
begin with; only think I do. Anyway once again thanks for stopping me;
make a fool of myself.
Kind Regards
D.G

And - mouseovers that change font size, strange font choices, numerous
amateur features like js data and time, right click image 'protection'
(I am not too pleased to be told I don't have 'permission' to click my
own right mouse button). I appreciate that with no back-end, javascript
is the only dynamic technology you have at your disposal but it does not
mean you should use every javascript sample you can find, I suggest
sticking to what is appropriate.
Search engines will probably lose interest by the time they get to any
content in your page past the javascript.
Again I am no designer but even to me the overlapping blocks and wierd
sized borders are strange at best.
I would humbly suggest that if this is going to be a showcase rather
than try to jam in as many bells and whistles as you can, you sit back
and pretend to be a real site owner then write a 'requirements document'
for what you want from your website. Then put you web developer hat
back on and try to deliver that and only that. A site that looks like
it fulfills business requirements and is appropriate will get you much
more work than a page full of things that you think are clever.
Just my 2p
