Hey, I've just had a quick play about with the code, and I think I've solved it. .indentmenu ul li{ padding-right:3px; display: inline; } Change the padding-right from 3px to 0px. Don't ask me why that works, but I hope that helps.

Hey guys, I've been messing about with my navigation again and I want your opinions on what looks better. The first two pages; "home" and "about me" have the new style nav, while all the others have the old style. Miba Designs Please let me know which you prefer. I know a few people think that my old style nav was fine, but too many people have said it was too plain for me not to at least attempt to improve it. Thanks guys

Cheers for all the support guys but i don't want to get too excited yet because it's only a trial period, so it might not be permanent, but at least it's a start. It's in Shrewsbury, about 25mins from home and it's designing sites in Photoshop, so no coding, but that's probably a good thing.

Hey guys, I've just got back from the interview/informal chat. It went really well they are giving me a weeks trial, starting monday, so I'm really excited. Anyways, thanks for all the good advice.

Thanks for the reply expat. I tried what you said, and it centered the text, but it became a vertical list, rather than a horizontal one, and it lost the rollover effect. I messed around with the padding, and managed to get it evenly spaced so it took up the whole width, which looked better but still not brilliant. On top of that, having IE being awkward, I've decided just to go back to the old style until I can find another one. Thanks gor trying guys

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I spoke to the client, and he has a domain name and hosting sorted, and he said he will ftp the content himself, so I'm just designing the pages and thats it. Thanks again, you guys are great

Cheers mate! I quite liked my old nav, but a few people had said it was too simple. and I can see what they mean. If I can't get this css working, then I'll go back to the old style. I'll keep messing with the float:left; tag and see if i can sort it...anyone else have any ideas?

Hey guys, I'm trying to make the navigation on my portfolio a bit more interesting, and I've got a CSS one that I like, but I'm having a few problems with it, and was wondering if you could help. I didn't make/write the code for this, I got it from a website, but changed a few things to fit my portfolio. If you want to have a look at it, my site is MibaDesigns. At the moment, the CSS nav in only on the index page, all the other pages have the old style one. The problems I'm having with it are; At the moment, the text is aligned to the left, but I want it to be centred, like my old style nav. I've tried using "text-align:left;" in the css, but it doesn't seem to work. In IE, when you resize the window, the nav doesn't move, until you hover over it...any ideas why? Is there a fix or is this IE being awkward as always? The CSS is; ul.menu { list-style-type:none; width:auto; position:relative; display:block; height:35px; font-size:11px; background:url(../images/bg.png) repeat-x top left; font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0; padding:0; } ul.menu li { display:block; float:left; margin:0; padding:0; } ul.menu li a { float:left; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; height:24px; padding:9px 15px 0; } ul.menu li a:hover,.current { color:#ffffff; background:url(../images/bg.png) repeat-x top left; } ul.menu .current a { color:#444444; } ul.menu.orange{ background-color:#444444; } ul.menu.orange li a:hover, .menu.orange li.current { background-color:#ffffff; } and the HTML is; <ul class='menu orange'> <li class='current'><a href='index.html'>Home</a></li> <li><a href='aboutme.html'>About Me</a></li> <li><a href='graphics.html'>Graphics</a></li> <li><a href='websites.html'>Websites</a></li> <li><a href='services.html'>Services</a></li> <li><a href='testimonials.html'>Testimonials</a></li> <li><a href='links.html'>Links</a></li> <li><a href='contact.html'>Contact Me</a></li> </ul> Thanks guys, Michael

Well, as I'm trying to build my portfolio, I'm doing it free of charge. At the moment, nothing has been discussed really. All I know is that it's a small website for a cricket club. I will post more details when i find them out myself. Thanks for the help so far guys =D

Hey guys, First of all, I apologise if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it on here. I've just got a request to make a website for a client. Now, this will be my first ever website for someone else. It's going to be quite a small website (about 8 pages) so it shouldn't be too difficult to make. What I want to know is, what do I do once I've designed and created the website. Do I send the files to the client, or do I upload them myself? And how would the client go about making changes/updates the the site? Any help you can give will be much appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Hey, thanks for the comment. Glad you like my PSP. The only tools I used were shapes, text, layer styles and gradients. Nothing special, just loads of layers. I can send you want the .psd file so you can have a look yourself if you want.

Hey expat, Yeah, Kip's advice was great. I was hoping someone would say no tie, because I don't think I've got one, apart from my old school one How about wearing a short sleeved shirt? I hate wearing long sleeves, but would a short sleeved shirt look to casual/unprofessional? Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. You guys have really boosted my confidence And thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it goes

Hi Kip, thanks for the kind words and great advice I'm quite looking forward to this informal chat now, but no doubt I will be s***ting myself on the day. Having said that, the fact that they like my portfolio, and all the positive things you guys have said to me, has given me a lot more confidence in myself and my work. Thanks again guys

Hey guys, I asked this in another thread, but thought I'd ask it here aswell, because I really want an answer ASAP. I applied for a job at a local web design company, and they've replied saying that they like my portfolio and have invited me along for "an informal chat" on what I could possibly offer them. Now, I'm inexperienced with job interviews and the like, so is an "informal chat" like a proper interview where I would have to wear a suit, or just a quick chat? And what else can I expect from it? Thanks, Michael

Hey guys, I've made a few more changes to my site. I've added a couple of new pages; "Services" and "Links" and I've redesigned the footer a bit. I've also tried separating the opening paragraph from the "what's new" section, but not sure how much difference it has made. Please let me know what you think. Also, I applied for a job at a local web design company, and they've replied saying that they like my portfolio and have invited me along for "an informal chat" on what I could possibly offer them. Now, I'm inexperienced with job interviews, so does anyone have any idea what that might involve? Is it like a proper interview where I would have to wear a suit, or just a quick chat? Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the help you have given me so far.
