Thanks Lee.. interesting thoughts on the book cover images. My thinking on them is that it is the actual cover for the books.. but i then went and used the same 'graphic type' to try and brand the site. Different model for different sites. In short more of a logo type thing, but then again what you mention makes me want to think that whole 'branding' thing over again.

pink background? oh oh, the colours are wheat and a lighter shade of that.. hmm.. i better go check that out. anyone else getting a pink tinge? the colour codes are supposed to be F5DEB3 FFEFD1 and FFF7E8 which on my charts are light wheat colours... oh wait, I think I know what that 'pink' is.. its the hover colour as I make my graphics link to something. For example at the top of each page the cover/logo is linked to the site map. If its a book cover graphic it should link (if my addled brain was working) to the story directory or synopsis page. and text links also carry that hover colour, could that be the 'pink' you are referring to? if so that is an easy fix.

Appreciate all the feedback. Yes the design is simple as my purpose was and is to direct the surfer to reading online without detracting from the experience that reading can bring, least in my mind. Hopefully this site will accomplish that goal.

Thanks all, appreciate the comments, and appreciate the birthday wishes too.. but Lee.. next year you get the scotch, my head aches still... :goseek:
