Thank you Gary and gs. These are good points. I'll get her to supply some photos to include. I had asked her to provide some testimonials, but they hadn't come by the time we went live. I'll press...

Hi again,

Here's the second of three simple sites for my friend that is now live on the web. All comments and advice welcome.

http://www.traceys-school-of-motoring.co.uk/

Many thanks,
Frank

The site has finally gone live. Not many changes from the original due to pressure of time to publish. Next lesson - get seen by Google, etc.

Please take a look. All comments welcomed to help me...

Hi Keith,

Your reply came in while I was typing my response to Gary.

Thank you for noticing that and letting me know. Well spotted. I'll have a closer look at that and get my 'strimmer' to it....

Hi Gary,

Thank you very much. Not sure what I did to create the white stripes on either edge.

I downloaded the file you kindly made and loaded it into a new web page file. It warned me that it...

Hi Keith,

Thank you very much for your reply. Crop by how much, please Keith? Can I measure that some way or use an index of some sort? Or do I just use trial and error?

I made a previous site...

Hi,

If this is the wrong section for posting, please re-direct me. I have searched for a solution.

Using XX5, I've created a draft web page background (see xara file attached).

I drew a...

Hi there,

After a hiatus brought about by work I've re-jigged a few things and we're almost ready to publish. Everything relevant is now on the Mouse Off layer (thanks, BQ).

Managed to learn...

BQ,

Many thanks. I'll download the file soon. Have had to shift focus to work.

Frank

Hi BQ,

I was just treating it like a Xara drawing, rather than a web page as such. As it's a work-in-progress, 'brainstorming' file I created layers as I went along to try and keep the elements...

Hi Paul,

Don't worry about being too picky. Different perspectives are what I need. I can always choose whether to take your advice or not. So, pick away :-).

Frank

Hi gsthunder,

Thanks for taking the 'risk' of opening the file. I understand your concerns on that one (and thanks, Paul, for the reassurance on that score).

More good advice, thank you. This...

gsthunder,

Thanks for your reply and offer. We're kind of working on a shoestring here, so she's not yet at the stage where she can commit to hosting. When she does, I'll include the link and I'll...

Hello Paul,

Thank you very much for your help. This is just what I need.

I've already had some ideas regarding the header, as well as the overall 'look' of the page. I'm trying to get a balance...

Incidentally, if there are any UK web hosting customers out there, I'd be grateful if you could recommend UK-based hosting and domain name companies that offer a cost-effective service for three...

Hi Gary,

Thanks for posting.

The 'buttons' are just heading labels for decoration. At this early stage the site is pretty much a glorified one-page windscreen flyer, the aim being to achieve...

Hi there,

This is my first site, (created with XX5), and it is very much a work in progress.

I would be grateful for any critique and advice you can give. I have no expertise and my friend...

Thank you, once again.

Frank

Hi Sledger,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Re: purchasing for a friend - he's currently living in New Zealand. Any idea how the process would work?

Frank

Hi there,

I would like to take advantage of the XWD offer. My concern is that Windows on my (old) laptop is running very slowly. I'm considering formatting the hard drive and re-installing...

Hi Egg.

Many thanks. You're spot on.

The bearings act as helicopter main routes (HMR). The ones you see arrowed in the jpg are inbound (to Aberdeen). They are interlaced with the outbound HMRs...

Here's part of an A4-sized project I'm working on.

Not exactly art, but it does fulfill a function.

Frank

Like your balls, Bill. It reminded me of a drawing I first did on my Acorn 3000 with !Draw.

I have to say that manipulating the mouth and eyebrows was easier in !Draw as you could access the...

Thanks Albacore,

The simpler the better, really. Memory card into printer would cut out the camera's user-interface - by not connecting it - and would be a more direct method. All I've got to do...

Probably pie-in-the-sky thinking but, in terms of greater market exposure, including xara in either the i-life or appleworks suites would be a pretty exciting prospect. Xara has been down the road...
