Our 1st Big Mention!
It seems that our website has made its first big mention. Recently Jon, who designed our site, sent the site around to some other designers to check. Before long we are being mentioned in a magazine about how cool we are. We always knew this but its nice to be recognized by some one else. Not that we’re bragging or anything?! If you want to check out the article click on the link below. So great job Jon, your awesome man! You know if it was left up to me we would only be mentioned in publications like Rednecks Do Learn TOOO, Online Web Design. Oh, If you can’t click on the link below, then you will have to copy and paste it into your address box because… well, you know.

Hi there,
The design is a stunning piece of art by the way. However, I do noticed someparts of the crucial main elements were missing during the load on Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on my Windows XP box. It refuses to display the content_bkg.png, though I knew you’ve used the IE’s conditional syntax and the Javascript to override the main transparent PNG’s problems on IEs. Well, I just thought that you should know. Anyway, on other major browsers (IE7, FF, FLock, Opera, Safari) both Mac & Windows, eveything else works flawlessly.
Hey somedesigner! At first I thought you were crazy, but I missed the photos page in my IE6 conditional stylesheet somehow. Good catch, sir (or ma’m)! I’ve checked it in IE6 too and haven’t found the problem anywhere else. Does it seem to fix it for you?
Yeach, it works now. Great work Jon, care to share those fancy brushes? They simply look stunning. And yes, you were right, I’m wee bit crazy too myself most of the times. Taking care the unusual amount of time to test a site on diffrent browser and yet diffrent OSes too. And btw, I’m a male Jon.
I just got the brushes from the Adobe Exchange site. There’s a ton of stuff in there. Good luck to you!
This is a great design, but its size could be smaller, it is around 1meg for the first page, which is the bulk, but these days its hard to avoid, people on dial up will just have to upgrade!
