Nice site all round, I like it a lot.
Did you do the flash in Xtreme?
The 4 boxes need to have their text central rather than left justified.

Excellent start. Love the bouncing basketballs.

Generally good. A few things:

1. I'd link to the teams in a new tab/window rather than letting them take over the current tab/window.
2. There are a few text links which span two lines where the link is broken and highlights seperately
3. In the same area (Top stories - right), the second story doesn't have the hand pointer, instead the text cursor.

Could anyone help me with point two here. I know im probably missing somethig simple but I cannot get the hyperlinks to span two lines.!

Also the client has asked for the pages to be moved up and the drop down menus appear over the top of the content. Is that possible without causing me major upheaval?!

Text links don't work right when they span two lines. You want to make the text a "graphic of the text". To do this, group the text with itself - just select the text and hit ctrl-G. The text will no longer export as text, rather as a graphic. the line span will work in this case, but you will need to do whatever "highlighting" you want to do manually by copying the text to the mouseover layer and making the changes you want when the mouse goes over it. IOW: it won't use the "website settings" for links.

Does that help?
