Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reviews, your opinions are always listened to and appreciated!

Nanook,

Thanks Greg for reviewing my site again. You were the first person to review my site when I originally posted it. The site has changed considerably since then, your advice is always welcome and spot on. Thanks for that!

Bumpyride,

Thanks Jim, I remember that you pointed me to the sitepoint forum, which is also great for web building advice. I agree with you totally about frontpage messing about with the html too much, but for now at least I will stick with it as it is fast and easy to use. I have learned some HTML but I am very slow.

Thanks for taking the time to make an example page, I will make some changes to my home page over the next few weeks and at the moment I am thinking about using some of your advice and some of Turbo’s advice. I don’t like backgrounds as I have tried a few and prefer it blank, google and other popular websites use a blank page and I feel it makes the page easier on the eyes.

I like the idea of CSS and will look into it when I get chance.

I actually made a tradesman and suppliers directory using PHP and used the php include line but somewhere along the line it screwed up and so I ditched the whole thing. There were over 500 pages and it took me a few weeks, think I’ll give PHP a wide birth lol.

You have gone to lots of trouble with your review and it is appreciated, I will re-read it all and absorb it when I have a little more time!

Turbo,

Thanks for the review and thanks for making an example page. I like the idea of the search box at the top of the page, I will have a play around with this when I re-do the home page. I am stuck with google search as it works well on my site as it gives people the chance to search the whole site, without me having to do a search in HTML, which I tried once and it did not work. I do get a little income from having it on also as it has sponsored links in the results.

I am working on the keywords and will add the two that you mentioned when I update the page.

I will animate the gif picture, but I am not sure about the 'Useful links' bit, I will have to check that it does not go against google’s terms of service.

TFC,

I did consider opening pages in new windows but I also feel that it annoys some people, but thanks for your input!

Thanks again to everyone!
