    Hey, xml, that's very good, it validates (of course) looks clean, nice colour scheme, speedy, at a quick glance appears to be very usable. Are the external links on your homepage (xml training, w3c) supposed to open in the same window?

    Thanks Lever and Gem for your feedback.

    Maybe it would be better if those links opened in new windows.

    Gem:
    Thanks for picking that up. I'll have to look into it and fix it, otherwise I may be sued for false advertising :).

    Thanks again

    I always tend to open external sites in new windows. I'm sure I've the mouseover on an external link have an alt tag or something to indicate "opens in external window" so I shall be watching closely to see how you do this to cover the accessibility issue :)

    You got me feeling guilty right now.
    I prefer to be ripped apart than mention something I spot.
    Does that made me a sadist or masochist?
    Fact is, So many of you good designers use Firefox etc,
    that you forget how 'pants' IE6 really is.
    at least I'm glad you won't get sued now.
    Regards

    LOL @ Gem :)

    New windows is now sorted.

    Looked into the issue of resizing in IE and it seems like it will require a total overhaul, IE doesn't seem to like changing the size of fixed sized fonts. Ouch.
