thats fine. its nice to get some feedback :)
the idea was to give it a professional edge. We figured a slightly more
muted colour scheme would detract less from the images. Remember eventually
this site is prolly gonna be stuffed with mocs and Lego imagery, the site is
pretty empty at the moment, but thats not the idea.
the Links are done as text to allow thm to be drawn from the database, and
also so they are quicker to load. (you can increase the fonts on the menu if
you like by choosing text size larger in IE)
Please please please can I have some more feedback positive or negative so I
know if its a yey or a nay, or I'll just go ahead with it anyway :) If
everyone dosent like the colourscheme then we have to change it, if Troys on
his own then its his tough :)
