Erm...... Where is it?

:D

Ah there it is. *He edited it to add the link. I'm not going insane folks........ Honest.*

The location bit on teh biog page isn't coloured like the rest of 'em. Other than that, give it a bit more content and it'll look spanky! :D

That is one nice chair!! I don't like the cream background that much, but I like everything else

Yeah, I agree about the bg color. Perhaps a pale blue to go with the "Welcome to my homepage" text.

I like the clean empty feel of it all. But not sure about the chair. True, it is a very nice chair, but it gives the impression that either you are a psychoanalyst or you sell office furniture. I'm sure you could find a better image to go with that clean empty feeling I was talking about, something simple, something zen.

The text in Biog does need a bit of tidying up so that all the colors and spacing match, but once again it has a really nice feel about it. I would beware of using blue text as many users expect it to be a link. You could also have some rollover effect on your links to make them more obvious, and make the link text align in the middle of the two dashed lines, just for neatness.

I like how the main box is the right size for the amount of text in it and isn't a set size regardless of its content. This makes it easy to know that you have read all that is written on this page and not waste time looking for more. Again, looks simple clean neat.

I look forward to seeing your portfolio page.

Thanks guys I really apreciate your help, the background colour shall be changed, and the picture to. I couldnt think of anything to put in it so I just put a chair, zen seems a good idea.

Ill have a tinker and see what I come up with, then post it back up.

Thanks

The links are to hidden, make them bold and/or a different color. Also I noticed that if you change from the home page to the bio page that the two white areas are not matched up. One page is to the right a little more and that would be the home page. (nothing to big not a big deal, but the links are a big deal)

That would be the scrollbar coming into the bio page. The white problem you mention, I also cannot see that?
