I'll keep your comments in mind while I'm playing with the new website. I'll work on it till I love it and then I'll invite you all back for a visit!<BR/><BR/>My DH has worked his magic and picked our daily winner. Congratulations, JULIE! Please contact me through <A HREF="http://www.emilybryan.com" REL="nofollow">www.emilybryan.com</A> with your mailing info. <BR/><BR/>Today I'm at <A HREF="http://bookreviewsbybobbie.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">BookReviewsByBobbie</A> and I'm talking about S-E-X! In fiction, of course. Bobbie has a great site, but I was confused momentarily about where to click to leave a comment. It's at the top of my post, just above "A Warm Welcome to . . .

I love the old sight as well, but sometimes you just need a change! I wish my husband were better with websites... I'm thinking of starting one, but I'm only marginally good with codes and I've never used a design program so I wouldn't know where to begin searching for one! Maybe I'll just keep my myspace and facebook pages! lolLady Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389614863829904094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-17554379371491019132009-02-02T22:56:00.000-05:002009-02-02T22:56:00.000-05:00Hope your recovery continues to go well.

I prefer it over the stark white of your old one.<BR/><BR/>My dh and I are a study in opposites as far as technology goes. I am what he calls, "quaint," whereas he is very advanced. It's what he does, he says. He gets annoyed sometimes because people always need him at work for assistance with their computers. I tell him to just pretend he's helping me and that he should be happy because he's<BR/> 'de man in demand.' <BR/>JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-5370370643552044432009-02-02T19:42:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:42:00.000-05:00Emily,I Think the site you have now is great!

It's easy enough to get to the basic content but once you get to the sublevels navigation gets more difficult. Maybe it would be a good idea to show the sublevel pages next to the main navigation menu, instead of further down?<BR/><BR/>I don't think the old colours are too gary at all. They're nice and warm and fun! And I'm not quite sure what inset borders are, but if they're the little light-coloured bits that line the green, then I think I agree with Ruth. And the letters in the new heading look a little thin and scrawly like this - wouldn't they be nicer to read if the had colour on their sides, as well?<BR/>Well, that's it for me :)<BR/><BR/>NynkeNynkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810044360681034104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-32114590402243735162009-02-02T14:53:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:53:00.000-05:00Yes!

I doubt they are doing their own pages...but maybe they are. It is pretty sophisticated. I do use dreamweaver, and Wilson's site could be done in dreamweaver. It isn't really that hard to use. I think you could handle it and it gives you more options....dreamweaver has templates too!<BR/><BR/>My only suggestion on your splash page is to change the color of the inset borders, they clash a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
