    Hi
    If anyone has a moment, and some advice to give, can you have a look at www.absoluteperfection.co.uk
    2 issues with it - resizing the browser window can cause problems with the layout (particularly text cut off on page right and link buttons displacing)
    Its been up and running for 1 month and was listed in google top 30 for last 2 weeks. Its now disappeared. Im wondering if Ive spammed it (with wedding planner)
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    Google is going through something right now - wait a few days and see what happens. Also, it could be that you were given a bit of a boost being a new site and now that the freshness is gone, they have (at least temporarily) demoted you.

    The layout problems are not that bad - at least with firefox. One thing you can do to specify a minimum table cell width is to insert a transparent gif and specify a width and border.

    Example from my wedding website:

    <img src="/images/shim.gif" alt="" width="300" height="1" border="0" />
    PHP:
    The image itself is only 1x1 pixel so it downloads very quickly. Specifying the width makes the table cell at least wide enough to display the image. When you work out the sizes, assume a screen width of 800x600. Most people run at least 1024 x 768 nowadays, but then again people don't always run their browser maximized. I figure that 800x600 is a good target.

    I've mentioned your site in my Wedding Planning Blog. We're obviously just getting started, but hey - every link counts.

    It seems like you've spent a lot of time working on getting content up on your site, but don't stop there. Continue adding content and working on inbound links. You can use one of my rss feeds to help keep your pages updated - but I don't have any documentation on how to do that up just yet. There's a thread here that talks about how to do it with PHP.
