Is that close to what people are now discussing? - Simple menu, with a very light contrasting bg to make is a separate entity. - Content Text without a contrasting background - No overwhelming graphical elements like big text in bars, over use of lines and so on. - Nice subtle breadcrumb. - Very simple color scheme Secondary menu bar across top of page for quick links or links that are not exactly related to the contents in the side bar is nice on some sites. I think MySQL does that. I'd put the search box on the top bar to the far right (below the word "Microsoft"). I do think a banner across the top of a page, even if it is a waste of page space on some resolutions, ties a site together. Brings the color scheme together, and just provides a frame or anchor for the entire site. The current design seems a bit naked without one, but maybe that's just because it's such a common design. Maybe it's common for a reason? Anyway, it's a very basic design which seems close to what people are (were?) discussing. <damn microsoft> Why was I looking at that site? It wasn't Samba causing problems, it was NimbaA Virus. IE5.5 is the only MS program I'm running and it has SP2 which I thought dealt with the Javascript entry point. I don't open attachments, and I'm not running IIS, and I have a tight firewall. I can't figure out how it got in. Last couple of days it was able to write about 8000 .eml files on my share I have for my Linux dev machine. No wonder Samba seemed slow. </damn microsoft> -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
