WOW! You folks sure have got me in a quandary now.
So far, my wife and 2 emails I got from two other folks all go for the third style.
One thing that you couldn't see in this test is the navigation box on the left will stay in place as you scroll up and down. A good example of this can be seen at this link.
http://hawks-web.com/rev2/acw/sand.html 'Course I plan on doing the same thing with the navigation in the third link if I go with that layout.
As for the colors of the second and third links, I agree with Ruth and DJ. I'm probably going to change that, either way I go. I don't much care for the grey either and the 'pink' just don't quit get it for me. I do like the idea of a tan background. Thanks Ruth!
I threw this up here for comments so I could get an idea of what folks like. I'm rather thick skinned so honest appraisals are much appreciated.
I'm actually the one doing the reviews so there is no client. This is going to be my site. I hope to make a little money with it - somehow. :D
I also have another layout I'm going to be working on over the next couple of days, incorporating what is called a 'liquid layout' (
you might know what I'm talking about Al .

). Basically what that technique will do is eliminate the need to scroll horizontally no matter what screen resolution the visitor uses.
What I need to decide on, and that's why I was asking for opinions here, is the color scheme and the basic layout.
Personally I kinda' like the third link, although I will keep the first two in mind (
both basically the same other than the color differences) as I work with the 'liquid' design.
I just started working with css about 4 months ago so I'm still a little green behind the gills in that regard (
you can probably tell if you were to look at the stylesheet ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
), and I'm trying to build the code without using tables, which means the link in this post will need to be re-done.
I'm also working at keeping the code compliant to XHTML 1.0 Strict standards so I've got my work cut out for me.
I know most folks reading this won't be familiar with what I'm talking about but I'm sure Al is.
Thanks again for the input folks! It's very important to me and greatly appreciated. :D
Edit 1: It seems I was posting at the same time as you Al.
BTW! Please feel free to use this forum if you want to ask folks for opinions of your work, or whatever. Just make yourself at home.
