Lovely.  Loads fast. I like that.  

OK, I gotta ask - how'd you end up in PNG?  Or did you start there?

Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Web Design

I've just updated my site at http://www.lexacorp.com.pg over the last few
days.

I built it using frames <bleuch> about 6 or 7 years ago and it was looking
very tired and old fashioned.

The new version uses Server Side Includes for a consistent layout

That way I just need a line

in each page rather than repeating all the background, header image, menu
code etc.
I do the same for the footer.

Incidentally, the menu is a straight lift from <quote>

Feel free  to steal any ideas you need for content.
Rocky's site, build by  Karen Rosenstiel,  may give you a few ideas too.

Actually, I've never found a WYSIWYG site designer that I like - I've ended
up doing it hand with a text editor which understands HTML syntax.  (I swap
between Crimson Editor and
NoteTab)
