# as a cold sore sufferer of many years standing
I must say 'that's no cold sore'

# I had one for the first time a few months back (at least I think it was one).
Bloody annoying it was.

# As an aside,
i hink I've settled on the modifications to my website. I've ungraciously ignored everyone's advice regarding the amount of blue used, but I have toned down the shades a bit. I got rid of the gradients, too.

new: www.tonykeenebirds.co.uk/beta/test11.html

Cheers to everyone who responded with advice.
Next thing is to find a program that edits a ton of files at once...

# It's too blue
And I don't like that font.

Game over, man, game over!

;o)

Gradients still seem to be there in the new one though..?

# Eh? I took out the gradient buttons from the rejected version
Unless you mean the images on the top line...? As for the font - I must be one of the few who doesn't use Times New Roman or Comic Sans on a birding website. Harmless old Ariel. I did try a few other fonts, but it was the least offensive.

# It's not too bad
I'd advise a little css tweaking though - get rid of the margin on the body tag and add a little padding to each of your menus, maybe drop the font-size a little bit too.

Oh, and link the logo at the top to your home page for easy navigation back

# Aha, I'll add that link in.
Don't know why I never did before. Font size (I've been playing with CSS enough to nearly hyphenise that...) has been problematical. It looks huge on some screens and tiny on others.
Also, sorry to sound a bit dense, but margin on the body tag?

# I'm seeing a 10ish pixel white gap all around the edges of your site
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
should fix it

# Aha...
I'll look into it...

# Done!
Cheers!

# mine are mostly under control now
but when younger it was not unusual to have my entire cheek/chin covered in blisters. I looked like I had been blow-torched.

I tend to mainly get them up my nose now.

so anyway. I hope any of you aren't eating
