Re: Assistance with graphics

Renae,

I like the graphics but to be honest, it really would be better if they
could be re-done. If you look at the left hand side, where the logo is, you
can see where it's been pasted onto the background and positioned so that
it intrudes into the base of the of the header and without wanting to be
unkind, it doesn't look very professional.

You also need to ask them to redo the block of text because there's an
error in the, I think from memory, second line...it doesn't make sense...it
says ....."our your", so they're going to have to fix that and they really
should be .gifs as Heather pointed out. 

Once those things are fixed, and your table dilemma sorted out, I think it
will look very nice :)
