    This is a really REALLY OLD template/layout/design, I'm not ready to launch the new site yet, though as the site is designed on this width, is it too wide?
    Even if you don't take into account the social media buttons, imagine they weren't there.

    Please feel free to comment on anything else about the site, but literally I grabbed the oldest saves I could find as to not unveil anything 'special' until I launch it, hopefully in around one months time *fingaz x'd*

    Too wide or not?

    Nope, the horizontal size is fine. The design ahem, could use some updating. And keep rockin' that sweet green.

    Thanks mate, but this design is quite an old one. My new one is even better I think, just keeping it under wraps a little longer...

    Anyone else care to comment on whether the width of this site is too wide for their laptop? monitor?

    The width of the site is fine for me; no horizontal scrollbar on my laptop. (I'm using a Compaq Presario V3000, my screen is 12 inches by 7.5 inches.) But the completely blue screen was confusing and initially I thought the page didn't download properly. Hope your updated layout looks more normal. :p

    Cheers mate, that's exactly the kind of info I was after!
    Though I guess you're using IE for the site? That's because that template wasn't supported for IE back then, try it in FireFox!
    And no, the new layout is more normal.... haha

    Thanks mate.

    It is going to be the biggest database available on everything good and bad to do with the blessed 'erb Mary Jane. I aim to teach people the truth about it as oppose to lying and suppressing the truth from them. I guarantee it will become very well known in the future.

    Thanks for the feedback. Would you mind telling me the measurement of your screen. Preferablly corner to corner. Or even just the model of the laptop/monitor. Also if you wouldn't mind, was it a huge scroll with the horizontal bar, or just a little but that didn't affect the viewing experience too much? Thanks in advance.



    If anyone else wishes to provide feedback still then I'm still all ears.

    Template is also in alignment? You mean it's good for viewing, nothing spliced on the screen anywhere? Cheers

    could you further on that a bit please mate? the kids site part.
    like too many images? menu images? or the fact these images are just quick happy slap work? Theres others being made that look more web 2.0 and proferssional but still have a fun element about them.
    Or are you refering to the background image?
    the design?
    do you mean kids site as in what a kid would visit? or what a kid would design?
    This advice would be truly welcomed. Looking forward to your reply.
