Hi everyone. I apologize for disappearing for a couple months and not posting anything until this, but there's been some nasty family troubles all dealing with death and lung cancer, so it's been trying.

But to make it up to you, I have two posts. ;} One is my site, and the other is in another thread, of a pic from an annual report that was finally printed. Anyway, on to the site redo.

Oh, and on this I've had a couple troubles, so please C&C if you want, but two things:

1) how do you like my new design?

2) if you view it in Internet Explorer or AOL (I think), it looks great. Netscape sucks. Doesn't even read some of the inner pages. Specifically version 4.73. I hear 4.76 in Linux works fine... If anyone knows why Netscape is being a *insert insult here*, would you suggest some solutions? Since I used the same kind of format for the professional site, anything you tell me on this one would help there. ;}

Btw, I know that I need to beef up the black type on the navigator. That is in the works. And I also know that the port page has a left-right scrollbar on macs when it shouldn't ....still ironing it out. ;} should look great in pc, tho...

Either way thanks and enjoy! http://www.merekatcreations.com

I will try to be around more on this, my beloved board of humbling. ;}

hey. Good to see you back...

The website looks nice. A little heavy in loadtime for those on slower connections. Great content... One thing, Most of your frames hasn't got the scroll ability locked. You might want to change that?

boomstick: scroll ability locked? you mean no scrolls? I'm not sure I understand. as far as I remember, I only had scrolls on the portfolio page...is this untrue on your viewing? thanks, btw. ;}

jezebel, agent44: thank you! it's good to be back. ;}

That is some pretty cool stuff. The bright colors don't really sit well with my personal tastes, but I do really like the photorealism look you're getting.

Why are the pics so small on the site though? It's like you click on the icon just to get another icon.

what I meant was that if I hit my middlebuttom in you top frame (where your navigationbar is) I'm able to scroll in that frame... It sure doesn't look pretty. It happens in other frames aswell...

I kinda like the lack of colour. Cool site, but yea heavy download when you go to the other sections.
