and it felt pretty good considering I was by myself. Anyway, after that I worked on my web site. What do you think of this?

Edit. I keep forgetting not to add that backslash at the end. It should work now. Sorry.

404 dude!

OK, you don't have to read. Just tell me what you think of the look.

**rinoaheartilly** · Jun 24th, 2002, 04:27 PM

WOW

Thanks!

I was just looking at the photographs, you have rea talent. Those are incredible! BTW, I think that the bird is some sort of quail, not sure though. You should come to Wales and do a little, it's beautiful over here! Pembrokshire, the Brecon Beacons, and Snowdonia are the most beautiful areas in Wales!

**cafeenman** · Jun 24th, 2002, 04:46 PM

Thanks for the compliments.

I took the picture of the bird in hawaii. It is about 7" tall. Sort of looks like a quail, but I don't think it is. Probably related though.

I'd love to visit Wales. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford to travel around a bit. I think a great job would be as a National Geographic photographer. But I think that's like saying it would be cool to be president. A lot of people want the job and they get the best of the best (photographers, not presidents

).

Is the question do we like the penguin page or the home page better? If it is, then I like the penguin page...it's more soothing. But I actually like how they work together--the tie in very nicely, yet they're different enough to give the reader variety.

OK, I really don't mean to drone on about the consistency, so you might need to tell me that you're already decided you LIKE having a completely different look for each page, in which case I'll shut up about it.

Cool, good luck in it! It's got the eyes and beak of a quail, could be a cross between a quail and small grouse. I'll ask around, see if anyone else recognises it

I love it, each pages is something new and different, if they were all the same, it would get kinda boring

Ok, thanks.

Let me know who I send the quarter to.

**GlenW** · Jun 25th, 2002, 08:29 AM

It looks like a cuckoo to me.

**rinoaheartilly** · Jun 25th, 2002, 08:45 AM

Nah, it's the wrong shape, it's too round, and it's beak is designed for picking insects out of the earth, not out of wood. Woodpeckers have longer bodies anyway.

Cuckoo's are round bodied.
Cuckoo's beaks are used mainly for picking insects out of the earth.
Woodpeckers - where did woodpeckers come from.

I'm not real keen on what bird is what, but I was wondering the same thing.

**GlenW** · Jun 25th, 2002, 09:14 AM

We have a very popular cider called woodpecker.

**rinoaheartilly** · Jun 25th, 2002, 09:17 AM

Woodpeckers??? *** wazs I on about? Sorry, these tablets have made my head funny, that was meant to be cuckoo. Urgh, Every time I try to tlak, I can't get my wods int he right order, i'm gniod pretty well atm. Cuckoos aren't that round, besides, I don't think they're that common in aHwaii. I'm looking it up now

**rinoaheartilly** · Jun 25th, 2002, 09:29 AM

hwere were you at the time Paul? CAn you tell me the place? Or at least waht the land was like?

**JPicasso** · Jun 25th, 2002, 09:32 AM

You should think about adding cumbersome frames.

That would be very nice.

**cafeenman** · Jun 25th, 2002, 09:33 AM

I was on Oahu - Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, Diamondhead, Waikiki beach.

Really hilly and rolling. Like any tropical island - sand on the outside, tropical foliage in the middle.

OK. I'll do that. Great idea!

Here's my resume again... haven't made the changes you sent me, but I think it looks sharper without being "flashy."

Thanks. What can I do to improve the menu?

On person suggested that I have the links always showing and one thumbnail from each on the main page. But I don't want to do that because I hate having to click "Back" all the time to go forward, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm totally open to suggestions.

**rinoaheartilly** · Jun 25th, 2002, 10:25 AM

I think it's some form of sandgrouse, but I'm not to sure, probably a hen, the colours are dull. I could be wrong, I can't find many pictures of Hawaiian birds, many are extinct or endangered, so all I've got to go on is sketches.

**Guru** · Jun 25th, 2002, 10:26 AM

I see what the problem is now.

I looks good in IE...

but I wasn't using IE

**Guru** · Jun 25th, 2002, 10:32 AM

Here's the problem:

put # in front of the numeric colour codes in the [bsytle[/b] section

Code:

    <STYLE type="text/css">
      a {color:#999999;}
      a:link {color:#999999;}
      a:active {color:white;}
      a:visited {color:#cccccc;}
      a:hover {color:white;}
    </style>

Line breaks are 

You've got 

Remove the / and it looks fine!

See? That's what happens when they let guys who don't know what they're do have web space.

Thanks
