melissa:
Thanks for your feedback! I had been wondering about whether that background worked or not. I've worked on the template for two days now (all because I wanted it to look exactly the same in Firefox and IE, and it still doesn't, but close enough :-P). I need to give it a rest now and stop fiddling.
The other thing I'm wondering is whether I overdid the drop shadow. Did it look better without the drop shadow?
:roll:

With the dropshadow, although it could be a bit lighter (more transparent) so it is not so hard. But maybe this is a personal taste. I'm still thinking about the menu. I like the hover rollover picture change but i think maybe it does not need a background color. Maybe the menu in bold and in the color of the background with color change when hovered. And free from the background image. Just a thought............ .. Not so important because it looks nice as it is.

On my laptop, IE is doing something strange with the hover and the image change (on the menu). It's like there's a delay in changing the image.
I checked on the listamatic example http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical11.htm and they have the same thing happening. I wish I'd noticed before I'd created it, because I'm in love with it now! Web design is a very personal thing, isn't it?
I come from a programmer background rather than graphic design, so I really appreciate the help I get in the showcase part of the forum. Thanks for the little nudge about the shadow, jschor. I've fixed it up now. I've left the leaf that's underneath the menu for now because I'm a bit tired of fiddling with cranberries, and selection tools in GIMP.

I've updated my CSS fonts to all use ems now instead of pxs, and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
I'm still having one or two layout issues with my left nav and right content. I'd like to get the content to fill up the rest of the space in the page container left by the nav, but only seem to be able to do it using a fixed width div on the right as well.
I guess I have to do some more reading about margins and padding. Do these function the same in IE and Firefox etc or not? I've had some weird cases where Firefox merges margins and IE doesn't...
Melissa.
kweitzel:
I definatly improved (especially the font-size), great. One additional suggestion, When I went trough the page again, at no point (with my 1024 by 768 resolution) the content left the screen. My suggestion will need a bit of time for research, especialy what kind of screenresolution the customers use (!). Why don't you make the hight of the whole template fixed?
Another thing I saw (by chance): there is a little light green border abround the background (maybe a 10 to 15 px offset).
cheers
