I dont see it like that I see it like this attatchment.

What are you using to place your lettering? CSS? And what resolution are you testing it in?
I have a busy 1024x768 IE window and your template probably only works if the users settings are just like yours which unfortunatley in this business is very unlikley most of the time.....

[Ian M]

I just checked your source. It looks like dreamweaver code to me. Is it? Or is it Frontpage?
You should try testing your website at different resolutions and in different browsers. I have Opera, Netscape and IE.
I only use IE for the internet but I always test my HTML in the other two. Sometimes my sites don't work in one or other of the less used browsers and sometimes I dont care and publisj anyway. BUT I always make sure that my site looks reasonable in IE in resolution of at LEAST 1024x768 and above. And if I am really keen I try 800x600 too. Also you should check to see if resizing the window makes the site unusable. It doesnt always matter if a resized window has to scroll left and right but its important that placed text stays where it should be in relation to your background.

It also looks like you are testing on Win98se. I have WinXP and the window borders are a little thicker because Bill Gates thinks we want pretty over funtional , which may be why I see the text all out of place.

The interface/template looks great! But unfortunatley it looks like you have some work to do before you are ready to offer tutorials on their construction.
(I dont mean that to sound harsh, its just a little neighbourly advice )

[Ian M]

LOL.
As it happens your site views almost perfectly in Opera and in Netscape on my PC.
GJ!!!

RE:Ian M. hmm Well I just use default settings on IE6 Dunno why it shows up like that on yours m8.Mine shows up like in my screen capture In a res of 1024/768 as I never use any other res but that i have stated as you enter the site it must be viewed at that resolution.I am using 98se and you are using XP so that would be the only difference. and I can use graphics programs but know nothing of Html ect all I used was pagebuilder on geocities.
And thnx for your comments

[Sal UK]

OK the tutorial is ready for download in my forum at http://kickme.to/salamander I will be doing another one as the one on there i had to do a rush job on.As I want to get the site finished so I can start playing TFD again hope it helps though......

Thanx Again M8 But I need Your Help again please can you look and see which template is better the one on the main page or the one i have now created using camouflage you will see the link for it on my main page.THnx

[DevilDog#1]

I like the second one better ... less obtrusive to eyes. Do you use Poser to create the gal and the rotating head?
