[QUOTE="PoBoy, post: 73014, member: 1016"] Thanks for the comments, looks like you spent a lot of time "analysing" my site. Wish someone would comment on "bothide", though. 1) Regarding the hidden text, it wasn't to improve the page rank. I noticed that many pages were not showing up during searches. For example, my Mom has a website of recipes. There's a recipe for "mah-di-dal". Problem is, it's also known as mah-ki-dal, and searches for "mah di dal" or "mah ki dal" wouldn't list the page on my Mom's site. No simple solution to that. Or, a search for mah-di-dal AND recipe, wouldn't list the page on my Mom's site. Why ? Because the word recipe doesn't occur on the page. Looks silly to have a line like "This is a recipe for Mah-di-dal" on the page because the whole site contains only recipes and one look at the page would indicate it's a recipe. Finally, I'm sure even you would have realised that the hidden words are "relevant" to that page. No word would improve the page rank ( no words like "sex" or "mp3" etc. ) Guess the basic problem is that, like computers, search engines can't think. If you have a soultion, please let me know. 2) Regarding the horizontal navigation bar, you're right. I opted for the Menu because I'm a bit lazy, there's only one js file to maintain now. Plus, I tend to make a lot of changes. And, I can't afford to spend too much time on the site. 3)Color Scheme ? Firstly these things are subjective. I don't like a white / light / bright background because I find it a bit harsh on the eye. And some pretty well known sites like deviantART and Yahoo Mail have gray backgrounds. 4) The logo ? Well, people like me who "grew up" with slow dial-up connections would prefer quick-loading pages. I normally set my browser to "not load images". And I wanted to see if I could simulate a animated gif with javascript. I'll have to change my mindset, I guess. Anyway thanks. Let me have a link to your website, I might learn something from it.
