Ok, It appears that your logo and arrows are on a WHITE background on mozilla, but a kind of light grey one on IE. I thought the light grey box was part of the design, obviously not - I like both of them, so don't worry about it.<br /> <br /> You should put a disclaimer at the bottom of your page that says "Best viewed using MY browser, on MY computer, on MY desk, sitting on MY chair, in MY home", or some such :P<br /> <br /> *hugs* COOL!!!

Safari 1.2.4 puts the lovely logo in the wrong place though (far right instead of top) but rest is cool.

IE5.2/Mac all looks fine except the heading of the article (e.g. 11/11/2004: "Corporate Livery") is way too big.

I wouldn’t worry about IE though… if the markup and CSS validate OK then sod M$

…er, talking of which, this might be why your logo moves in Safari:

Line 201, column 81: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

You’ve been lazy with your attributes too… XHTML requires all attribs to be quoted, ie. class="next", not class=next

Best bet is to hit your validate button and go through the errors.

Let me know if you want screen-grabs.

Since these pages are assembled by perl scripts from lots of templaters and such like the damage might be spread over a large area of my hard disk.

I could try and move it to the sidebar by the calendar and make it goi vertical, or I could just loose it alltogether and have less crud on the page. Suggestions?

I don’t like the site map under the logo, does anybody use it? I could try and move it to the sidebar by the calendar and make it goi vertical, or I could just loose it alltogether and have less crud on the page. Suggestions?

Ill fix the others later. Most of them seem to be to do with the way I have moved the search form to be that link instead of a form in the side bar. <br /> <br /> Does this make the page look any better in MS and Safari?<br /> Interested about the fonts being too big. The default style sheet that Greymatter comes with has absolue font sizes stated in pixels. I have switched some of these off but not yet all. But I'd like to be able to format the entry headings using H1 and H2 and maybe x-large,etc but not 14px, etc. So keep those comments coming about how this page looks. Thanks.
