Link for the lazy such as myself :D

good work. probably one of the few instances where I think a splash page looks good.

I think it's just a div with an overflow:auto on it. Unless you mean something else.

@wfiedler: Thanks for the confirmation. It's a nice design.

@Wfielder: I liked it so much I used it as the inspiration when I had to throw up a site for myself (my BF has been handing out my card to everyone and it was embarassing having just sample folders up there when people went to the domain ... Will definitely put a linkback to you on the kudos page, so have patience since this is a site in progress and my life just exploded with busy-ness at the office AND at home (lots and lots of things to do, for travel, for a new roommate, for a garage sale we plan to host in a month, setting up the virtual garage sale, etc) ... actually if anyone is interested, could someone take a look at my site and tell me what you think? Is it sufficiently modified to be considered an "inspired by"? the URL is here... and I DO plan to give kudos to folks who helped make it happen (such as the gallery and testimonials scripts I plan to put in there at a later time and wfielder for his cool idea/design that my initial layout was based on...) as soon as i come up for air and have a few extra minutes at the home pc ;)

@Wfielder: VERY nice! i.e.6 (which I am unfortunately on here at work along with about 10,000 other fellow employees ...) does break the background a little bit (or maybe its just my computer being weird today) but the design is beautiful and i.e. is hopefully going away soon (not soon enough but .. ;) Thank you for your kind words @my site ... I hope to have it finished and add links to current and past projects and maybe come up with some ideas for the "barter" section of the site ... Sorry to go off-topic but anyone have an idea of what kind of services I may be able to barter site design for (the economy in my state right now is HORRIBLE with home foreclosures all over the place, so not a lot of people/businesses has extra free money to spend, but are happy to exchange services ..;) .. most of what I can think of is things for the house (painting, glass block windows, finishing the basement, hardwood floor for the living room .. ZZzzzzZZZZzzz boring domestic stuff.) Anyone else have ideas or suggestions?
