Thanks Jim. As I said before, I'm a programmer, not a designer. This is Rev 1 of the site and I will be working on Rev 2 soon. It looks like I will be pulled into more design work in the future as we are not replacing graphic artists at work so I need this kind of feedback.
As my total budget for the site was a wopping $0.00 as was guessed before, I did what I could with what I had. If they can be found, I will try to get some high quality proofs of the crest scanned at the meeting tonight. I'll be dragging my laptop and a scanner to the hall. My preference on the menu is the section name separated by a thin black or dark gray line. I'll try that for tonight, if I have time. Otherwise it will go into the next show and tell in November. I will be adding depth to the site shortly. When the active unit returns home later this year I will be adding a great deal of content in support of the Library of Congress Veterans' History Project (http://www.loc.gov/vets/). I will also be adding more content on the unit and organization history and the associated reenactment group. The active unit, the veterans' group and the reenactors form a trioka to try to keep the heritage of the Washington Artillery respected. Because of that, I'll be adding third and fourth level pages below some of the sections soon. I like your idea with the breadcrumbs. I'm going to move them to above the content and not next to the curve. I do find that whitespace makes a page more readable. I'll also remove the current page. I have had long debates with the EATEL designers who worked on the last site I implemented on that very thing. Since I have some validation to my opinion, I'm going to roll with it. I'll work on the content. This was just slapped together with a short fuse. I tried to give it as much thought as possible, but I did miss a number of design considerations. Thanks for pointing them out. Russel >> -----Original Message----- > >To be blunt: it's perfectly adequate.

I won't win a Webby, but I do want to do the best I can. >[snip] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165309 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
