it's a nice rubber ducky icon!!

As a freelancer it is hard - especially when there are so many so called web designers out there who do not care about legislation regarding Accessibility / Usability and do not even bother to think about web standards either. There are also so many bad products on the market that allow anyone to create a website themselves and get it online despite the fact that it will be badly coded, won't validate and be totally in-accessible, not to mention ugly! I find I have to justify my services a lot of the time - but as I'm proficient in Accessibility/Usability issues and I code to web standards - I have this on my side and reassure clients that they are gettinga good service - most of my work comes from recommendations and so I must be doing something right.

mmm - not sure as I'm not sure they would be classed as 'text' as would the link be within the actionscrit? That's just off the top of my head as it's been so long since I used flash - I must have a look into this though!

Doesn't do it for me - it must be a BOY thing!

I've tried using photoshop so many times now as it has amazing image editing facilities and brushes are just fantastic, but I find it an impossible program to design websites with...I'm a Fireworks Gal through and through. So now I just find the brushes I want and create a document in photoshop with the brushes in and just open that in frieworks and use the brushes that way - not ideal and not that flexible, but better than nothing!

Well I missed the background that everyone was talking about.... I love the logo - very stylish indeed. I'm not so keen on the grey outline especially as it defines the bottom of the text/page area - I personally would change the border to a gradient that gradually fades down the page - see these examples: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 so that the content area is defined but is infinate as the bottom of it isn't defined by a border. Just a suggestion. A rollover colour that reflects the logo on the navigation buttons wouldn't go amiss either.

I totally agree with you there Olivier - I'm an advocate for using the latest browsers and always recomend people upgrade. I always state that I work and test on the latest browsers and just make sure that my designs degrade sympathetically in older browsers - but I don't go as far back as old versions of Netscape or IE. IE6 still needs to be supported, but in my opinion not for much longer. As you say the technique does not impair the functionality of the site and so I don't see what's wrong in using it.

Wow that's brilliant - that will save me a lot of time and coding! Thanks

I use cuteFTP for the PC and Transmit on the Mac - never heard of cyberduck - that sounds cool!

I've learnt a few cool CSS tricks recently so could write a couple of tutorials - if I get time this w/e I will.

If I had the time I would write a few...but too busy at the moment - what would you want tutorials on? If you list a few things you're interested in learning, then we can make tutorials that are actually wanted - hey lets start a tutorial request thread!

Just keep all your styles in a stylesheet rather than within your HTML as it's a lot easier to work that way

The code you've pasted above relates to your entire site - not the individual images you have on it as it's the <body> tag. I've just had a quick look at your source code - OH MY LORD! You've got styles all over the place. I would suggest taking your styles out of the HTML and putting them into your style sheet - then it sould be easier to manage and also easier to see what the problem is - I can't be bothered to trawl through tons of code to try and find what the issue might be.

Ignore the dog! Honestly - she always gets on to my PC when I'm out of the office! Kepp posting updates or the finished product - hope you get good marks!

It was'ne me - it was the dog!!!

Is this you too?

I have a very dusty G4 and occassionally I turn him on [ooer missus]!

Are you welcoming the Ben Invasion Olivier? I reckon Ben has cloned himself and planning world domination...I bet he sits in a swivel chair and has a furry white cat too!

he probably won't talk to me for weeks now!

Thanks everyone! I found the same recording Olivier and you can't listen to it with all the animation sound effects.

I care very much about macs and always test my website on all mac browsers as well as Pc ones.

It's the web geek work out routine!

I just don't think it was released as a separate track as he did it especially for Pixar and so I guess they own the rights for it.

I went to MSN Music and look at all his music available for download and 'knickknack' isn't there...well miffed!
