The Missing Operating System error doesn't necessarily mean that the hard drive is dead, it could just be that the bootloader has been wiped (by a virus, for example). When you tried booting from the recovery CD / Windows CD, you may have to press a key at the appropriate time to boot from CD, or you may need to enter the BIOS setup utility and configure it to boot from the CD before attempting to boot from the hard drive. No, I'm not absolutely positive but I thought that's what it meant. I tried F8 to try to get into Safe Mode, no luck. Tried that both w/the recovery cd and the Win98 cd. She does think this was caused by a virus. Any idea what key I'd press? If I can get in what do I do then to find out about the bootloader?

Well, this one goes directly (and very quickly!) from a Toshiba screen to Missing Operating System shortest boot from screen to screen I've ever seen! I'll have to be quick to say the least.

If upon trying to reload you have problems/see errors, then you might consider going with the replacement drive. If I can get it booted up, then I'm going to probably just reformat using the cd's that came w/the system. I don't think there's anything important on it but I'll ask her first. Reformatting should rid the system of any virus, correct? As for the size of the drives, David already mentioned that increasing the capacity doesn't increase the physical size.

[wdvltalk] OT: Ram question
Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my ram. I currently have 2G's running WinXP Home and my system will take up to 4G's. I'm told WinXP only reads up to 3G. I had a computer temporarily where 4G's was installed (I added ram at purchase but the computer was later returned) and I had problems which were thought to be due to the additional stick of ram that WinXP could not read. I remember reading somewhere that it's better to have say 4 single 1G's installed vs two 2G's and this was for performance reasons. For some reason the computer was supposed to function better/faster using what I call singles vs doubles. I would only go to 3G's since WinXP can't read 4. I don't remember the particulars but something about the singles ones was supposed to make for better performance. I currently have 2 open slots. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Thank you :) ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷ ÷ ÷÷÷ Deb Designer @ Digital Mouse Designs com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Re: [wdvltalk] Site Check Please
Looks like it's working here. I don't know that I'd give copyright to Google, though g Here are two places you can go to check your work in all the browsers: http://browsershots.org/ http://www.browsercam.com/ The first one I believe is free, the second one may have a trial and is costly for a one-on-one account but they take groups and you divvy up the annual cost. I've not used Browser Shots but from what I hear it's very good. I may dump my BrowserCam for BrowserShots because BS is free. But BC has more browsers you can view in and from what I can tell more features like screen res etc ...

Re: [wdvltalk] Site Check Please
Hi Peter, Well, my first look says wa to busy looking. I think maybe there's to much of the same look all over. Perhaps if you break it up a little bit by saying putting a bg color in the right or left cells? I don't think I'd go w/red but maybe - I'd have to play w/it. Just seems to need some breaking up for the visual. The grey on this page might do it: http://healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=4 or a lighter grey. I think I'd also change the light pink to very light grey - the pink is a little hard on my eyes anyway and since this is not strictly a female site - I'd try to get a more uni-sex color combo going. I like the logo :) My feeling when I view it is governmental so if that's what you're shooting for then in my opinion you hit the mark. Question, is this all set in a Zencart template or is the cart separate? Looks like a huge undertaking - I wish you the best of luck!

[wdvltalk] OT multiple instances in Device Mgr

Here's what I'm seeing: In IEEE 128.4 compatible printers: Officejet 6300 (DOT4PRINT) Officejet 6300 Series (DOT4PRT) Not quite identical but I only have one Officejet 6300 printer hooked up Then in IEEE 128.4 devices I have: Officejet 6300 Series (DOT4) In Imaging devices I have: HP Officejet 6300 In Monitors I have 3 instances of Default Monitor and 2 instances of Plug and Play Monitor and I only have two monitors hooked up. I have a number of entries in Universal Serial Bus controllers In Human Interface Devices I have 2 instances of HID-compliant consumer control device and HID-compliant device Logitech Cordless USB keyboard Logitech Cordless USB Mouse Enhanced Keys My Officejet is also showing up under Disk drives as HP Officejet 6310 USB Device and I'm supposed to have one hd in the puter and one external that I can't get the system to recognize. Does there seem to be a few extra things in this setup or not? I'm thinking I should at the very least have just two entries in the Monitors list. Do I delete all but one of each?

If it does, it's (probably) not the hub, but one of the things plugged in to it - plug them back in one by one, rebooting each time, until you find the culprit. If it won't boot with the hub plugged in (but nothing else plugged in to the hub) but will boot with the hub unplugged, then it sounds like the hub has gone bad. Is it a powered hub?

[wdvltalk] OT: usb hub issues
Hi, I'll try to make this short and yet give enough info to hopefully get some answers. Sunday I moved to dual monitors and also added tv to my WinXP setup (really cool to be able to watch a little tv while working!) My external backup is plugged into a usb hub along with a few other things (would take awhile to figure out what). I wound up with a problem on a reboot and could not get into windows. Boot stopped at the initial HP opening screen. Ten hours of tech support nightmare later, I finally was able to get into Windows. They had me unplug some stuff including the computer power cable then hold in the on/off button for 30 seconds, plug the power back in and I was thing in windows. What is happening now is that anytime I have this usb hub plugged in I wind up not being able to get into windows. The tv thing is just a coax cable plugged into the vid card and a splitter which then plugs into the cable router. I'm thinking that's not the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the usb hub perhaps bad? Or the actual usb cable that plugs into the computer from the hub? I'd like to nail down some potential fixes before running all over the place without direction.

Re: [wdvltalk] Search Engine Optimization
Hi Robert, You should remove the pages from the ftp and put the new design in it's own folder and pw protect it. Then the bots can't get at it. As for getting it closer to the top of the search engine, you are asking for a quick answer to something that takes much time and work. There is no pat answer, nor will a *reputable* SEO Specialist give you an guarantee of rankings. This is not something that happens overnight nor is there a quick fix for it. To many factors involved to just give you one answer and there is no one answer anyway. No one single thing to do. It's a combination of things that help a site move up IF it's going to move up. Some things we have no control over even on a well SEO'd site - competition is one for example. My suggestions are: either have the site SEO'd by a reputable SEO Specialist or start studying yourself if you want to do it yourself. There's a lot to learn.

There are a number of benefits to using NTFS, such as minimising wasted space when you save data, data encryption and file system security. FAT32 is now seriously outdated when working with large hard drives, especially if you're running XP or Vista. Because of the way FAT32 works you simply have no choice but to split data up into 2GB blocks if you attempt your backup. I'm very very surprised that a Vista ready machine from HP of all people have formatted the drive as FAT32 - very sloppy and short-sighted in my opinion. You won't lose any data doing the command-line drive conversion the Genie Soft site details. Thanks for the info, MOU. Have further questions .. what happens when I have to reformat the computer? I try to do that about once a year. Will the NTFS stay in place or would I need to do it again? Is this a very time consuming process that I need to allow mega time for? Do you recommend I do my external hard drive as well? What about the D drive, the one that the system stuff is on that holds everything since you don't get a reformat cd w/the machine? Do I do that one as well? Yeah, you'd think if it's that much better especially w/Vista on the horizon that this drive would have come NTFS. Your comment about minimizing space has probably given me my answer to why my previous computer showed a total of 18G of info on it and I put the same stuff on this new one and I'm at 25G.

Well, it's thrown at me that it can't back up to a FAT32 system w/o me breaking it down into 2G increments (I think NOT!). It offers a way to convert the drive to NTFS. Do I want to do this? It's a new machine, HP, WinXP Media supposedly ready for Vista. I don't know what else you may need to know to advise me. Here is the link to the info they provide: http://www.genie-soft.com/asp/community/KnowledgeArticle.asp?KBID=113linkid=35SrcID=4 My external is also FAT32 if that matters and it's probably 2 1/2 years old or so. This seems like something that falls under leave well enough alone as I've had just bookoodles of computer problems all of December. Went thru 3 new computers that failed and so far this #4 if working just fine.

As for the speed differences, it is my understanding (I haven't personally tested, however) that Firewire 400 (the common one) and USB 2 are pretty much the same speed. Thanks, Todd. I know my firewire is faster than USB2.

From my experiences in the office, you can't get a Firewire 800 device to function at all in a Firewire 400 socket. This is the only reason I can think of why you can't get an external Firewire drive to work in your existing Firewire setup as I've had no problem using different cables and plug converters in the Firewire kit at home and work. I got it working. I had originally tried the hot plug-in but this time I shut down the laptop and plugged in the fw cable and it worked. Good info on the fw not being backwards compatible, though.

[wdvltalk] OT: is i-LINK firewire for transferring data?
Hi, My Toshiba laptop has an i-LINK firewire port. The cable is 6 pin to 4 pin and package says it's for connecting computer to camcorders, digital cameras and mp3 players and also says connect a digital camcorder or other FireWire device to your computer. Does anyone know if that would include connecting to an external hard drive and being able to transfer my data for backup purposes? I can't seem to get the laptop to recognize the external using this cable. Could just be the same issue I had before and just have to wait it out until it sees the external but I'm starting to think it may be the wrong kind of connection or cable? I have done it using a USB2 cable, but of course firewire is going to be faster so hoping to make it work. If one can connect a dig camera and transfer photos, I would think it would work w/data but maybe I just don't know enough. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.PBCWebDesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

[wdvltalk] OT: Mom's Win XP screensaver not working
Hi, My Mom is having issues w/her screen saver not working. Computer is about a month old and she's trying to use the default screen savers in her Win XP Media computer. When I set it up I tested it using the preview but we never let it just go into screen saver on it's own when I was at their house a few days ago. Now she tells me it's not working. It just doesn't come up. I've set all her power down options to never and she's tried using different time frames for it to kick in and also different screen savers. Nothing is working. I know, this may seem like a silly problem, but Mom is in her 70's and not puter-savvy at all. We want to make sure she's got a screen saver in place because otherwise she's got this absent-minded habit of thinking the puter is off when it's really on in power-down mode so she'll turn the puter on when it's already on which of course she's actually shutting it down without using the proper shut down method. She doesn't want any screen burn-in so prefers a screen saver. Any ideas?

[wdvltalk] OT: reading an external hard drive - firewire/usb
Hi, I think my computer is possessed, please I need some input. Short version of what's happened: External hard drive has been working fine via firewire cable hooked up to old puter and 3 new puters (don't ask - problems w/all of them). Came a point in time I had no desktop computer available so hooked up the laptop to the external but via USB2. Worked fine (slower because it was USB2 vs firewire but still worked). Now, the external is hooked back up to the desktop via firewire and the computer isn't seeing this K drive - it's like invisible. Have tried both firewire ports, checked all hardware connections, uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times still won't see the K drive. Tried hooking up the USB cable just to see if it would work ... here's where the possessed comes in - I plug the USB2 cable into the back of the external - suddenly it sees the drive as Windows Explorer pops open to the K drive! I plug the other end of the USB cable into the computer and it disappears! How the heck can the drive be read when the cable is only plugged into the external and not into the computer and how the heck do I get it to read the K drive via the firewire so I can use the software for backing up and restoring? When I open the software to try this, it doesn't see the drive - can only been seen via Windows Explorer it seems.

[wdvltalk] OT: video card/DVI monitor port questions
Hi, I'll start w/brief info and embellish if necessary ... I'm very bad w/hardware issues. Got a new puter which has the original vid card in it w/256megs vid ram and a DVI port for the monitor. Had an additional vid card put in it w/DVI port and 512megs vid ram. Both also have vga ports but am planning on using the DVI ports. I want the main monitor to use the new card as that will be my main screen. I want the second monitor to use the vid card that came w/the computer. I forgot to purchase a 2nd DVI cable for the 2nd monitor when I purchased the computer so have to buy one. I have one DVI cable that came w/the main monitor (Sony) that I've had about a year. The drivers for the second monitor (which is the new one) I'm guessing must already be installed as when I connect the DVI cable to it the picture is beautiful looks just like my old monitor which is the main monitor. When I connect the same DVI cable to the Sony monitor the screen quality is more like the vga quality. I'm thinking I need to install the Sony drivers but am afraid I'll mess up the new video card. Do I need to install the Sony drivers? Second question - purchasing a second DVI cable ... things would be so much easier if there was one DVI cable to purchase that works for all computers but I go looking and YIKES there are so many selections I have no clue what to buy. Example - one says DVI-1 (or is it DVI-I ?) and the other is a DVI-II ... then there are some that are gold metal on the ends instead of the usual black plastic. I can pick up a gold metal one at Walmart but it's in the aisle w/the tv cables and not the computer monitor cables - the actual connection ends look like the cable I have but are they the same? Can I use the tv DVI cable on the computer? Is there any benefit to the gold metal? They have no DVI cable in the computer area of the store only the tv cable aisle and our local Radio Shack doesn't have any DVI cables. Those are the only 2 local stores in my area that carry computer equipment. I found one cable online that *looks* like the one I have now and *says* it fits all DVI monitors but because of the DVI-I and DVI-II I'm not sure that's what I should get. How the heck do I sort this out so I get the right cable the first time?

It's not an uninstall wizard in the program list or anything it's actually listed in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs as uninstall wizard so I'm afraid what I'd be doing is uninstalling the uninstall feature but I can't find an uninstall w/in the program. Every time I open it up to look it wants me to set it up. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.PBCWebDesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Also when I said 'to save you the trouble' that's exactly what I meant, it would have been quite rude of me to just leave it at steps 1-3 when I had the answer on my screen.

You are correct in that you really do have to twist your mind to find what you need sometimes. I thought I was searching on the right words but as you can see, I was wrong. I also assumed just searching in the WinXP help files on my own computer would yield me the answer - bzzzt - wrong answer, Deb! I have been in tech support for about twenty years but frankly, skill, knowledge, experience and training are only useful in about 5% of situations. Mainly I earn my living by switching equipment off and back on again, and when that occasionally fails, typing *just* the right question into Google / looking in *just* the right place in the manual or help file... it's a rare gift, I mean a *rare* gift. Erm, also, I must admit finding this one probably was more like the fifty-first attempt, the first time I had to look for it... I do appreciate the trouble you went to to find it for me. I'm not going to mess w/this anymore. I just don't have the time and after being totally locked out after my attempts - I'm now more on the paranoid side of terrified of this happening again. It would have been nice had the program that installed this given me the option of setting it up this way - I'd have surely checked NO! It has to be either the printer or the Wacom Pen Tab as this all happened after that. I do remember something about MSN Messenger or ??? coming up but for the life of me can't remember what it was now. I was just dumbfounded to have installed all of this, gone to bed, got up - rebooted and suddenly there is was w/no warning.

I can get them if I set up my email - but they aren't for me and some are confidential. I've spent most of this week messing with this problem on and off and am tearing my hair our. Their system keeps defaulting to their ISP email details and won't hold those for the web! I've scanned their machine for viruses, updated their ant-virus and firewall (and now set the machine to do it automatically, but as they are on a dial-up that is a problem at times) but nothing so far has worked. This is a prize example of what should be so simple and straightforward but is in fact a nightmare. Hi Peter, Let me guess, they're using some version of Outlook? I have had a few clients w/this problem myself. Maybe this will help. Outlook sometimes does not recognize *changes* to an existing eMail account config. I have found this process I'm about to explain cures that problem and my clients after having done this, can then download their mail. Keep in mind I'm not an Outlook user and never will be from what I've seen. Have them *delete* the existing account, close Outlook, reboot the computer, open Outlook, go in and set up a new account for the same eMail address. Voila, downloading then works. I got this from a tech in Ohio who I never physically met. My client was a sweet wonderful elderly lady who was not computer stupid. But she could not get her eMail to download after switching to my hosting. Instead of just leaving and going elsewhere for hosting, she *hired* a local tech who turned out to be a peach of a peach of a guy and he is the one that told me about this. He then promptly passed away with no warning (only in his 30's) within a few weeks of me having met him by phone eMail. To this day, I have a soft spot in my heart for him. Anyway - this process has helped several of my clients overcome the madness of not being able to download their eMail. Hopefully, it will help you too, Peter. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.PBCWebDesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

So instead of just entering username (no quotes) into the username field, I had to change everything over to use my full eMail addy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, I had to change all passwords to more secure passwords.

[wdvltalk] OT: ridding myself of the Windows Welcome screen
Hi there, A couple of weeks ago (I haven't had time to post until now) I installed some new programs and one of them (and I have no idea which one) is now forcing the Windows Welcome screen (WinXP) to show on boot up. I don't want a welcome screen, nor do I want a login screen. I always boot directly into Windows and that's what I want back in place. When the Welcome screen comes up, it's not requiring a login - I just click the name and it finishes booting to Windows. But I hate this. I cannot find any options/preferences in the programs I installed for changing this. One was a new HP printer which I seriously doubt caused this because I've installed many a printer and never had this happen. The other is the Wacom Pen Tablet and associated bundled software that came w/it. I have been into the Control Panel/User Accounts - I have one admin account and that's the name that's showing up on the Welcome screen so I can't delete it. I also found something called ASP.NET Machine installed and I have no idea where that came from or what program installed it. I have not had reason to go into the User Accounts in months and months so this could have been installed by anything and not necessarily a recent install. It's showing as password protected and I know for sure I did not set this up. If I ever need a password for it, I have no idea what it would be. If I were to remove the Welcome screen within the User Accounts, it's telling me then I'll have a classic login screen complete w/password. Don't want that. If I go into TweakUI there are options that *are* checkmarked ( that I didn't checkmark) under LOGON. They are: Keep RAS connections after logoff (not checked) Parse Aytiexec.bat at logon (checked) Show ASPNET on Welcome Screen (checked but not by me) Show MyLastName on Welcome Screen (checked but not by me and this is the admin account in the User Accounts) I don't want to do anything because I'm terrified I'll wind up locking myself out of Windows entirely. But I want that blasted welcome screen gone! Can this be done and if so, how? Anyone know how to get me back the way I was before?

[wdvltalk] OT - upgrading MSN Messenger forcing SP 2 upgrade
Hi there, Mom and I use MSN Messenger and particularly the Remote Assistance feature as she lives a ways from me and I do alot of puter fixing etc for her this way so I don't have to drive over there all the time. Well, today we were going to try a Remote and my MSN Messenger popped up an upgrade when she tried to remote in to me. I went to do the usual (all tooo often in my opinion) upgrade and it clicked me over to a page to upgrade to Service Pack 2. Seems I can't upgrade my MSN Messenger w/o upgrading the entire system to Service Pack 2 which I refuse to do. I actually did try once right after a reformat some time ago and it wouldn't do the upgrade. I forget what happened but I never did get it upgraded and to do it now is out of the question. I'll wait 'till I get a new puter. Anyway - final point is - anyone know a workaround for this so I can get MSN Messenger upgraded w/o going to SP2? I really HATE forced anything!

On top of that Welcome to is absolutely wayy over-used and boo-ring! I think it looks very nice except for the topper - it's hard to read. Not clear enough text or graphic text (whichever you're using). It's kind of garble-dy looking. The content font is a little bit smaller than I'd like to see as well. I would make the text a bit bigger. Being that this is a health type site - I also learned long ago from working for a mental health professional web site, that medical type sites should be really clean looking for best results. So, making the text larger and spacing it out some I think would accomplish that nicely. Just to crowded looking is my opinion.

Re: [wdvltalk] Reg:SEO tutorial
At 11:58 PM 8/11/2006, you wrote: Can any one suggest BEST SEO TUTORIALS My suggestion is not to use a single tutorial for SEO. There's just to much to learn about it that cannot be covered in a single tutorial. I've been doing it for about 4-5 years now and I still learn new things as I go along. I would suggest a class for one thing. They used to have one at www.lvsonline.com but it's been awhile since I've been there so don't know if they offer it anymore or not. Also suggest you hit the big seo sites like www.highrankings.com and read Jill's newsletters, hit the forum. There's also some other good places to go for seo info: www.seochat.com , www.searchenginewatch.com It's really not something you pick up in one sitting, it takes ongoing study, reading alot and working it through. It takes a lot of time and dedication to learn seo. Example, you don't just seo a site once and let it go at that - you need to monitor it and tweak it on some kind of regular basis. Know when to do something to a site and when to leave it alone for awhile kind of thing. Sign up for some good newsletters. All of the above sites offer them. Hope this helps. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.pbcwebdesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Re: [wdvltalk] Client request!!!!!

Because the background is a lake picture with trees and sky, part of the menu is in the sky and the other part is over the trees. How do I make a menu that isn't in a box that will appear on both sky and trees and doesn't look awful?? Any ideas would be much appreciated. http://www.starqualitydesigns.com/Moodus Hi Riva, Well, first of all I don't know if you realize this but the entire background is tiling so on my screen I have several backgrounds side by side and on top of one another which is something I would address. As for the menu, what about removing the box and just use links? Or, you could do a horizontal menu so the box isn't just floating there, but instead is at the top of the page? :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.pbcwebdesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Riva If you have to use the photo one possibility is making it smaller, add an oval shape around it of a solid coordinating color. Put the nav on the left right aligned to go around the left side of the oval and then center it in the site page. You could also try a gradient fade of the photo. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.pbcwebdesign.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

At 09:13 PM 7/6/2006, you wrote: That's a great idea Deb. Where would the text go though? Well, if you make the photo considerably smaller (like about half it's current size) then you'd have room for text next to it or you could put the text under it depending upon how much text there is. That was just one idea, too Riva. A quickie that crossed my mind in a flash. This photo is also pretty blurry and I think a clear, crisp photo is in order. One thing I forgot to mention would be to mute the photo edges so it blends rather than leaving it as a stark photo - something to make it not just look like a photo slapped into a page. What's there *can* be made to look much more professional if they'll give you some rope to work with, LOL! instead of hanging you with it. This site definitely needs a professional touch and if these people aren't going to listen to you my suggestion is if you continue to do the work that you not put it in your portfolio nor put your link to it on the bottom - at least not as the designer. If they want the site to look unprofessional that's their business, if you want to continue the work that's your business but YOUR BUSINESS doesn't have to suffer because of it.
