The site itself is wonderful. I really like the layout, the scheme, & the style seems to keep the site confined, & well formed.

However, I don't care for menus that alter the text on mouse-over. It creates flickering in the text & I always feel 'out of control' with simple navigation.

The header should be fixed and not move around. Some links, the header moves upwards and sidewards.

Apart from that, its really "vintage" and nice.

Keep up the effort!

to specify firebolt a bit more:

handcraft.html: if you click on it, the whole site moves down about one <br />
blog.html: shouldnt the bulletpoints move to "reference blog" now? because they stay at the Souvenir stuff...

</specify>

something really tiny but always annoys me: the information in the footer cant be copied out (e.g you want to copy the mail adress to write them) because its a picture.

Thank you firebolt and toxicerror. I'll try to look at it. about the links on the header. i cant find a way to make it steady. i wanted the effect of the link to be bold on mouseover but just like everybodyis saying it affects every other link that is why it moves side to side? is there a way to do it cleanly? about the link. i'll remove it as soon as possible sir. thank you again guys.

CODE
.class1 A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: white; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18}


You'll want to drop the font-size option in the css on mouse over rule. Bold isn't the problem, it's the font size change.

instead of make it bold on mouseover, just/only underline it on mouseover?

otherwise you could change the color to a slightly gray or so, just so you notice a little difference.

i just noticed that your site has flash in it.
it just would make the dot on the i, if you would add a little alternativ text that says some like "you have to download the newest flashplayer!".

between the <object>-tag

e.g
HTML
<object andAllTheThings="thatAreNeeded">Here comes the alternativ text</object>

I actually like the color scheme, it flows real nice. I'm not a big fan of IFRAME's but that's more personal preference I believe. As already pointed out I would fix the navigation links, they all move when you hover over one. In stead of making them bold on mouse over how about just changing the color on mouse over.


All in all nice work for your first site smile.gif

Change this line

CODE

.class1 A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: white; font-weight: bold}


To look like this line

CODE

.class1 A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: blue; }


You can change blue to a color that fits the sites color scheme smile.gif

thanks for the comment. about the navigation on the 1st one can i just make it an image so that it i'll just give it an effect on mouse hover what you think? would it be helpful? cause i wanted it to load faster. i know that if i add another image it would add up again on loading time which is a problem because it has flash in it?

I would recommend you to place a "dot" between each link. It help to separate each link. Other than that, it looks great.

Just a quick note the first one you did is much better than sample 2 but the menu is better.
It was mentioned earlier that the site move on handicraft.html you may notice a < at the top left. I think that will sort your problem out.

Also you said you wanted it to load faster. One way to do this is to use the div tag and load the footer and header image in the css as I noticed with some of my sites that helps it out.
