I like the banner, all clean and fresh.
I also like the way the green of the letters darkens as it goes along.
Very cool!!

I like it, too. It's not done, though. We're just experimenting with some ideas.

The banner is too big. It takes up way too much real estate.

I think likely what we'll end up with is a smaller logo on the topleft and then navigation stuff along the right. We'll see.

I swear, Dave, you've changed the banner again.
You just never know what he's going to do next, Vic.

I was getting fond of the little flowery letters...

It's a work in progress. I spent most of yesterday trying to get something that works and ended up just removing it all.

I figure it's easier to start from a blank slate.

What's up there right now is a blank slate to which we'll add what needs to be added to make the site look good and professional.

Oh WOW!

It's a little like a garden, every morning we take a new look and something else is blooming.
I am so loving all of this.
Thank you both.

Lynn- I know you were concerned that there were no graphics.

How are you feeling about the look now?

Once the forums are in place, the thumbnails will add a lot of color and interest.

Also, once we get things moved over, there will be a lot more to see on the homepage than just the forums.

We haven't moved in yet, so we can't start decorating until that's done!

Sue I like big color too. I am at a friends right now and using her computer while I house sit. The yellow daisy doesn't stand out on her screen like it does on mine.
