I took the advice of some of the fine citizens on here. A while ago you said that because it was mainly graphics it wasn't that great for google and yahoo ect to search it properly. So I recreated it on Frontpage 2003.
I done it with 800 x 600 in mind and if you haven't got the font 'mistral' then it will look all over the place.

Just a thought - does anyone know the html code for centering the website on a resolution of 1024?
Just wondering. Wink

The easiest way is probably to stick it all in one big table which has a width of about 790 pixels and is aligned in the middle. Easiest way to do *that* is to bung this after your <body> tag
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="790"><tr><td>

then just before your </body> tag put
</td></tr></table>

That should bung everything on your page into the table without damaging anything, and hopefully do what you wanted.

If you think about it you would hopefully realise that mistral was chosen as it is the most similar font to the OFAH font. Terrible though mistral may be, it is surely the most appropriate one for an OFAH site, no?

As long as it's used in caps, not as body text and sparingly then fine. Images would be better though really, not everyone wants Mistral on their system.

Cheers for that NodnirG
Tried that then dawned on me that I created most of the site with layers and it won't work on the layers or is there a way around this with another piece of code?

As for the mistral font I only use it in capitals as you can't understand it that well in lower case! Although I might change it as I updated the screenshot on alexa.com and it looks terrible without the font and it looks as if a lot of people don't have the font though I thought that nowadays almost all would have had it - Thought wrong.
