I think thats a brilliant example of how just restyling can bring a new feel to a site. It scales nicely too :) I think I like it a little more than the other one though, I think the black frames it nicely.

nice work :)
so, in your opinion, the second one is better? I made it with % for the most and only a couple of px for height &/or width
the only problem is 800x600 res as the navigation buttons go underneath the main image, but I don't think that is too big a deal, I might change the buttons for the nav to be smaller to compensate though
Part of the reason why I never go with a fluid site. I always find it has too many hiccups to accomplish exactly what I want in multiple browser sizes.
Yes I like the re-designed one, I like the way the black frames the content, and highlights your logo and the menu.
I agree with the max-width - if you could get that working it would be great :D
here is a nice wee hack for IE and the rest:
min-width:700px; max-width:850px; _width:700px;
I read that good browsers will respect the max & min widths, but ie does not, so to let all good browsers work on the correct code add it in, then add in your width but with _ preceding.
this is ignored by all other browsers but ie cannot see the _ so thinks it is just width.
I got my site and I was happy with it, but as it is christmas time and there is not much happening for me, I thought a small change might be in order.
here is my site as it is just now:
www.honeycomb-web.co.uk/index.html
here is my redesign:
www.honeycomb-web.co.uk/new_index.html
it is basic, there is not much content on the main page, but I was kind of looking for a change, I might not totally do it, I am only playing just now
your opinions, and criticisms are all welcome

a bit like what I changed?
You betcha.
If it were me, I'd probably go even more, but I think that's just getting down to personal preference on how I want to read things on the web.

I know what you mean,
I had that with the old one, and I noticed it just looked a bit small on larger resolutions.
glad its to your liking.
I can refresh the page, it shows the image then it disappears

and that brought it all back.
God I hate IE

tested on:
IE8 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
FF3 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
Safari 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
Opera 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
Chrome 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
We strive so hard for this validation, sometimes I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I know what you mean, but as long as it works and kind of the same in all browsers, I think screw validation.
it is useful to find errors, but thats about it nowadays
