i would greatly appreciate it if anyone could give me some feedback on my site. don't worry about being nice cos this is my very first website and if it's crap i wouldn't mind the least.
i would especially like to know what color green everyone is seeing. it's meant to be a very very dark green but since calibrating my monitor it has become a sickly olive green? so i'm not sure if i calibrated my monitor correctly. thanks for your input.

Page is set too wide. It's more than 1280 pixels wide on my screen. Looking at the page source you have table cells that are far too wide. Design the page to be easily viewable at either 800, 1024 or 1280 but no more.

Also the font sizes vary randomly on the pages.

Your email addresses aren't links so users will have to cut and paste. This means you will get fewer responses.
The code you need to learn about is:
but this will result in your address getting spammed to death very quickly as your email address is "naked" and open to address harvesting spambots. Try this instead:
";
var showtag="@"
var showhost="yahoo.com";
var space="%20"
var subject="?subject=Web%20site%20query"
document.write(""+showlink+"")

it was design for 1024 and fits exactly with no horizontal scrolling. but today i did open it with firefos and got a shock cos i have to scroll horizontally. are you viewing in explorer or something else?
also what do you mean by varying font size. i think all headers are 1 size and all content 1 size as well.

I'm no web expert, (so far from it you wouldn't know !) but it seemed fine to me, (some very nice figures in there too).
The green's okay.
Feel free to have a look at mine too and give me some feedback. (Link from bottom of message).

Firefox 2.0. I just checked and in IE7 and it fits on the screen. This means the code has a problem somewhere. Good hunting.

Not in Firefox.
For example on this page - http://myminiaturepainting.com/gamescompany.html - the bold type appears in two different sizes. Again it's OK in IE7.
Again good hunting.

don't worry you're not alone. i'm technically incompetent as well so i;m hoping that the code vexillia gave me is a cut and paste job. i

Any comments to make about my site ?
Your input would be appreciated, as long as it's not TOO complicated.

It works fine for me even on the dreaded Vista! Now I might not agree with all your reviews but hey, that's a personal thing although in your favour you didn't like Vallejo so it's all good LOL
