Thankyou

Getting your first site done is very exciting. Congrats. Looks Nice. What picture viewer are you using?

Interesting site Peter, lots of things on it, reminds me of when I used to make my home page actually "be" my homepage and put all my links on it that I didn't want to mess around with browser bookmarks with hehe. Loved that site, but gave up on it a little while ago and opted for delicious instead which so far has worked out nice.

Love the coloring too btw, and I think your Mail link is blank also. Providing you really want that on there that is. Putting your email address on your site(s) is pretty risky these days as it opens them up to all the scammers and spammers that have bots out there crawling sites for email addresses. Just a thought, maybe add a form to reach you with instead? Or another way around that is to put the address into an image without any tags saying it's an email address and add a form also for those that would rather do things that way. Lots of ways around the email address issue though.

Enjoy it, website building is definitely a fun thing

I'm definitely an amateur and not a very bright one, otherwise I wouldn't hand-type my pages like I do.
I use the 1997 version of CoffeeCup (there is no WYSIWYG) so my site is about as simple as they get, and I validate it with HTML validator.

I'm currently revamping the design. http://www.drivingnt.com

You've done a great job Zipper.

My one suggestion is the top navigation was very difficult for me to read. Maybe bold it to make it stand out more or increase the font size slightly but apart from that well laid out and lots of great information.

Wondering why you sit with such an old version?

Thanks tassietiger, the top nav was quite OK until one day while messing with the front page, the font shrunk and I never worked out why because the CSS settings were unchanged at that point.
The revamped version is much easier to read but it will be a little while before I get it all up & running.

Hiya Jo Ann, I tried CoffeeCups '97 editor when it first came out and it suited me perfectly, later I bought the first WYSIWYG version but I had trouble hand-editing the code it produced.
I had the same problem when I took a course in computer programming, when fellow students asked me to help them debug their code, I had a lot of trouble reading their stuff.

(Perhaps it's just me. I'm 60 years of age you know, we graybeards are notorious for being obstinate and set in our ways. I have sympathy for toddlers going through their "terrible two's" stage).

Do you think I should try CC's latest HTML editors?

Absolutely! You're missing out on getting your FREE updates, as well as not having some features that have been added over the years. Plus there have been issues that have been fixed as well (no I can't be specific).

Keep a back up of your current copy (Just In Case). But I would think you'll be happy.

Definitely Zipper, although it has the HTML editor and the WSIWYG part you need to choose one or the other and not switch between the two otherwise it messes your code up.

I just stick with the HTML editor as I like the flexibility and being able to see what the code is and you can easily preview it as you go to see what your changes do.

I love it. I used to think Crimson Editor was the Bees Knees but now I love the Coffee Cup HTML Editor as I can code and preview so easily, plus it has the option to see it in various browsers, so its a great little package all rolled into one and it makes it so easy to make sites quickly.

OK you guys have convinced me, thanks
