Ok, thanks. Would I need to place a plugin on my site to ensure that they get the font via download or something. I'm not going to add it to my site, I was just curious. Cheers. Shaun.

Oh, God, Helvetica... *shudders*
It's the default font on Linux too. I'm considering replacing the font file with something like Verdana's. Urrgghncnnfonfos ns.....

Verdana is a lot better than Arial (IMHO), but have you ever tried Tahoma? It's basically identical to Tahoma. One more thing, have any of you got that programme where you can make your own font by writing it out, scanning it into your computer and setting all the letters as a font. I've seen it done on TV and it looks really cool. I might look around for it.

Yeah, I prefer Verdana to Arial, but most people suggest Arial. For some reason :)
That looks cool, good job -- although I can't actually work out what the site's about..
A couple o' hints I'd give you..
* Lose the WordArt, there are some very cool free or shareware products out there that can make banners that look much nicer, and look less recognisable than something that came straight out of Microsoft Word. You've already got one logo, so stick to it.
* Personally I prefer sans-serif fonts on webpages, and Rob does too. Tahoma or Verdana look more interesting though, IMHO :D

It's nice, but for the love of God change that font to Arial. Please. I'm begging you :)
Oh, and don't mention the whole help thing. It's what we're here for!
