Hellloooooo - I'm planning to make my own website all by myself. However, I don't really know much about HTML and am quite scared by the whole prospect. Can anyone suggest any how-to websites or ways to make the process a lot nicer for me???

Thaaaaaaaaanks :)

It looks awesome.. hopefully when all the browsers (I'm looking at you, IE...) get up to scratch then we can have all sorts of 'niceities' like that.

I think you're the first person to spot those, or at least the first to mention them. It's just CSS that hasn't officially been implemented yet.

For Gecko browsers (e.g. Firefox):

-moz-border-radius: 6px;

And for Webkit browsers (e.g. Safari):

-webkit-border-radius: 6px;

*shock* So it was Timmargh that created Freeola!? :D

That's a cool layout too - though I have to say the 'Greens' is sharper, plus the rollover rounded rectangles, nice. How'd you do that?

Thanks. It's a new design that only got put up the other day -- it's looked like this for the last two years.

Thanks so much Garin (...I would quote and thank you directly for it, as I'm sure is the right forum etiquetter, but that would tak eup LOTS of space)...I think I'll give the two links a go...not sure when I'll get time, but I'm sure I'll get round to it eventually :)
