BTW, I like your new footer, but if you want those images from the magazine to be seen, they ought to have a bit more neutral background than that image. But you could get away with it if you make a whitish, translucent 'sheet' just to sit under the images from the magazine.

Ok cool, thank you Inger, i'll start at re-sizing the images and reformat to .jpg, I'm also going to make the backround black, for some reason it kept repeating the image but I think I found the x-repeat code to remedy that. The footer I got from paintbrush's reference to Corel Draw's images :). How would I create an image layer for them to sit on? Is it the same code that's in my about.html that Eric wrote up? I can actually use that quite a bit in my site, like for the menu to sit in as well. Alright i'll start resizing the images. :D

Re the menu: I strongly advise you to stay away from flash menus because they won't be seen by users of mobile devices. I have an ipad and a galaxy pad, and I don't see your menu on them. And such gadgets are becoming more and more frequent these days.

Matt, I have been playing with your site again, in order to center the contents and reduce the size (in bytes) of the images. I have not used the site that Paintbrush recommended, though. Maybe you can get the images ecven more compressed there, but I don't think you will get them all below 100KB without losing on quality. I have also removed all the redundant code from both the html and css file, so that they load faster too. I have only made the index page.

My suggestion is here: www.eikweb.no/test , take it or leave it! ;)
