The menus are not yet working because I have not done the other pages yet.

Hi Rik :)
The panel with the newspaper seems to be trying to distance itself from the menu.
That orange in the logo jars a little with the grey. Maybe use a darker grey.
Other than that it's coming along nicely :D
OK Drwyd.
I shall try a darker background.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that the newspaper seems to be trying to distance itself from the menu?
Cheers for your comments, so far.
The centre panel has a larger gap between it and the menu than the gap between it and everything else :DQuote:

The greys you used on your original were just right. This version seems to have lost some punch.
I can see what you mean about the original having a bit of punch when it was all darker.
But, I couldn't get the rest to work as I wanted.
So, I'm trying a very light background.
Does it look worst now?
It does take some of the sting out of the orange. What about a gradient page background ?
Make the site more organic Rik. Make the site unlike anything you or we have ever seen. Buttons do not need to be buttons, the page does not have to be a page. Things do not have to be static. Pull out all the stops. Wow us. Amaze us. Think outside the page. JUST DO IT! You have the vision and talent.
What kind of software is Oscar? what does it do? how do I get to the main Oscar website? Who makes Oscar? These are some of the questions your site should answer.
You have favicon declared in your page 4 times. Probably placed code in the different fields (for example, a couple of head placeholder objects and/or page head code and/or website head code fields).
Frances: Very good questions. But, none of these need answering on and for the website! If I can say that respectfully.
Why?!
Well, that's because the site is for my work, to help with what I do and what I train on.
So, the site will only be of use to those who are using my company software, which is OSCAR.
Hope that answers your questions.
But, I would welcome your views and ideas on, is the look and functionality etc...
John: I know what you're saying and I have been trying to get the favicon to work in Internet Explorer. It just refuses to work in IE.
That's the only reason why you're seeing the code, here there an everywhere.
I tried just the method that I had seen recommended in a tutorial and when that didn't work, I then tried... well... what ever!
So, if you have any ideas as to why it works in just about any other browser I try, apart from IE, I would appreciate your suggestions.
Drwyd: How would I get the pasteboard, as well as the top part of my page to have a graduated fill?
To go from a dark to a light linear fill?
