Great work Gisela,
believe it or not i'm currently building my own site too,lol.
Not easy work but it's not costing me a penny which suits me in the current climate.

Very nice G and loads of leaves in the background

Phew, I listened to everything everybody said wit thanks: Dan, I made the links open in a new window (via properties, target... blank...) - just realized I forgot that with the etsy one, oops - Mike, I changed the colour scheme so the red won't clash, is that better?, Rob, thanks for you previous advice about labelling each image with my name and the word mosaic, too, now if anyone hovers over the images there is a description there, and please all who missed the stolen mosaic thread ages ago, please hovver over the snakepot. And H put a code in for me to copyright the images so they are impossible to copy now, well for most people anyhow.
For some reason firefox seems very slow in updating, and is as yet still showing yesterday's site, but if the MAKEitSO MOSAICS title is a shaded (rather than block colour) green and cerise you got the new one - all feedback again would be gratefuly received.

Also :lol: I wonder how long it will take some of you guys to find the links to our sites?

looks really good G, and yes, leafy background is visible for me

I like it. As you said you are not web designer but I thing it's well organized. The people could find easily the things they are searching for and this is the most important. And the leaves looks great :hurray:

After doing all the right things, clearing the firefox and my pc's system cache, firefox is still only showing my previous website, what is going on?? I can view it in Internet Explorer... really frustrating, like firefox usually and it is my default browser with all my favourite settings... don't get it at all ...?????

You may need to clear your DNS cache G.

Got to start > run and type CMD and hit enter. You should get a black box on your screen.

Type cd.. and hit enter, do that 2 or 3 times until you only see "C:\" (or whatever your main drive is).

Then type (and notice the space before the slash but NOT after)

ipconfig /flushdns

Hit enter

You should get a message saying "your DNS cache has been flushed" or something like that. Reboot the PC and try visiting the site again.

Did exactly that, Dan, got the exact same instructions from some techy site, followed it to the letter, everything happened as it should, but still the old website pops up. When I go to clear the firefox cache even though I can click on 'clear all' nothing seems to happen, so I'm wondering if there's a glitch in there, wen to firefox help pages and followed a different set of instructions there, too, still no joy. I had this with the forum emblem, remember, when it still showed the old and not the new cloud one? Irritating the heck out of me and I am wasting so much time over this. At one stage when I reloaded my web address a file sign with the word 'prossage site' came up, the only prossage I am familiar with is a joint care product associated with my back alignment teacher in the US, that was so weird to have that pop up, like a pop-up underneath the address, but that's gone now. hate stuff like this

But did you notice in the few posts above that I followed your and others' advice, so links to open in a new window, etc... so that's all good
