Made some croutons the other day old scrap of olive bread diced and fried in olive oil and curry powder . . .

Hope these simple tips are useful (they are not essential as the page works): Change the background to white give a soft (fade to white) border on the image change the text to dark gray (slightly softer) If you wish to retain the background green/trey then consider changing the text colour to very dark green Good things you did: You had content (that is a good idea) You were friendly and well laid out Links nicely incorporated in the narrative It was applicable ACROSS levels of age and expertise (something for everyone) Anyone else?
