Okay I'm having a CSS problem with my site, I have a bar with links in "block", at the moment the blocks are aligned on the left. How do I go about centering them in the middle?
Thanks in advanced :)

A UK domain wont guarantee you recognition as a UK site. Some search engines are quite interested in the physical location of your host too. But other for reasons Hmmm... mentioned you're better owning the uk version of your domain than not.
And if search engines are going to be your main source of traffic, then I'd think about it now in respect of your design. As where you position content and how close it is to the top of the page are all relevant.

Sounds interesting. What do you see as the main income generator from the site? Are you going to sell a product or rely of advertising? To produce a 'real' income you've hopefully got some good ideas...
Don't forget my cut for the ticker and Garin's for the code help! ;¬)

Ah that's good then, I'll probably do that then :) and register some domains on Freeola. Perhaps I could finally win a GAD too :D
Yes this one site is a big project, everything is offline at the moment. I'm just working on the front page and the whole layout of the site while I prepare all the pages of content. It'll have a daily blog and a monthly newsletter/ezine and I've been reading up about how to boost my position in the search engines and google page ranking.

From no content to 300 sub domains! Wow that's some growth...
I've also been with Freeola for 6 years, and must say things have changed quite a bit since then on the domain front - and all in the right direction!
The site you link to below (myanimeguide) has the co.uk version available. Why not register that with Freeola to make sure you get the uk traffic? You have to be careful not to have too much duplicate content etc. or that will upset the Search Engines as well. I guess with a project the size yours appears to be, it's a given that you should have the full set of domain names - otherwise your competitors will register them and use them against you when you become as big as Amazon!

I noticed it was flash but then I got confused when it overlapped things on the page when you press "show" :)

I use to buy domains from Freeola 6 years ago but I think I was put off because there was a charge or more hassle to transfer domains to my hosting company.

Yeah I have 3 domains at the moment, no content on any, unless you want to include the turn results from the Quest game :) I didn't go with Freeola as I needed something bigger. I'm upgrading soon, so those 300 subdomains will come in handy.
My main target audience is global, perhaps America. But if people in the UK cant find me on the UK only thing, do you know how I can get on their without changing host? Perhaps I can buy a Freeola UK domain and put the main page on it pointing to the other stuff.

Do you mean the show/hide thingie? That's been done using flash.
Machie - surprised you don't use Freeola for your domains - as you are obviously a Freeola fan!? Or did I just happen to pick the wrong ones?
The sites I was looking at don't have any content, but when you get round to adding some, Freeola would help you on the Search Engine front. The sites I looked at were all hosted in Germany, so any user clicking 'pages from the UK only' in Google etc. wouldn't find your sites! You don't get this problem with Freeola ;¬)

That's okay cjh I'll have to go through, I probably just did something wrong.
Challenge 1 - I think I might have asked about this many years ago when Geocities used something similiar. You're probably too young to remember their DHTML ad is it?
This is what I'd like to do now :)
Thingie on right right hand side. looks like a barcode
Is it DHTML? Or CSS? Or javascript layers? Could I give it a try? And cjh what do you think about using something like that?

You'll have to forgive me Machie, but I may be wrong (I just wrote up a quick test page and the CSS inherits in to the element fine). Perhaps there are certain CSS properties that don't inherit (or I'm wrong altogether), or like Garin said some bad CSS (or perhaps HTML) code in there somewhere.
