Hard to say. You did not provide a link.
On the other hand, new members are not allowed to post links for their first few posts.
Also, if you used a Xara product to create your site then you have posted in the wrong forum.
I am going to take a chance looking at your Profile, and move this to the Xara Web Design Gallery forum.
Hello d2namo, welcome to Talkgraphics :) If you designed your site using Xara software then you are welcome to post a link here.
Gary and Angelize thank you for your mind reading capabilities
Yes, link and the right forum is important. I apologize for that. This is my second site. Both were built with a Xara template using Xara Designer Web 7 Pro and Xara Web Designer 7 premium. I believe the first site was started with XD6 and photo & Graphic Designer 6. Through this process I have learned a lot about webdesign in general. Still a long way to go. I am looking forward to any constructive suggestions or comments that will make the site better.

In the near Future the plans are:
To incorporate a blog and shopping cart. I am in process of setting up the cart on the server. But blogs, I haven't looked into blogs just yet. Both technologies I have never used before.
Thank you all in advance
There you go. :)
The site works fine. It is to the point, easy to navigate, and it is easy to find the information and to order the product. That's exactly what you want a site to do.
Oddly, Troll has a different meaning in a forum. ;)
Very nice job. Neat, attractive, and easy to navigate. Well done.
As far as a blog goes it is pretty simple. Just sign up for a blog on any of the popular free blog sites and then insert it into your site using an iframe. I use BlogSpot for mine( run by Google ). http://www.blogspot.com
Thank you Gary; with positive feedback like that coming from a guru I am very pleased (more like hyped).
With gsthunder's advice and a quick look at a link on blogs in the forums (that I just happened to spot by chance); I now have an idea of how to proceed with blogs. Once started and actual doing there will more than likely be many more questions. The earliest I can start on that project will be later this week or early next week.
Oh, before I forget. I actually found this information interesting:
I did a search for Trolling and was surprised actually on the history of it. Apparently Scientific American 1895-09-21 (The date posted just before is 1934) had an article about trolling motors. Not sure if that is a date as we would know it or a number for the magazine. Cited from Wikipedia - keyword 'trolling motor'.
keyword 'troll' from How stuff works. They have a good definition in the second paragraph which show the similarities of the common internet usage and fishing usage of the word troll.
Thank you all very much!
Hi,
When I click Home on your site it opens it in a new tab, I am using chrome, maybe just something you can correct? Otherwise, looks very nice!
Thank you very much Wilkus. That tab thing was by design. I will change that though, can see where that would be annoying.
That should have said: Thank you Gary and gsthunder; with positive feedback like that coming from a guru I am very pleased (more like hyped).
Wikus, Thank you for your feedback. The annoying new tab has been disabled. I am doing more work on the site now will publish later today. (also apologize for the misspelling)
I hope you are calling Gary the guru and not me. I most definitely am not a guru.:cool:Quote:
