Please would you check out my new site ? I started work on it before I realised how competetive this topic was and I decided I had done so much work on it I might as well carry on. I would really value your comments and suggestions for improvements.

Here is a list of some items in no particular order:
Your left and right columns are too wide.
Your center column is to narrow
Using MyIE2 (a Mozilla browser) some of your menus do not line up exactly.
There is a blank menu item (2nd item down) on some pages.
Your menu changes from the home page to other pages. (I prefer the menu found on your home page)
The Contact button (top right) brings up a "no such URL" page.

The 2nd item isn't a blank I don't think ... looks more like a dash that got wrapped to the next line ... but it is the only menu item with a dash so I would ditch the dash ...
Also, in your hyperlinks, keep an eye on your spacing at the end ... that's why you are getting lot of underlining after the words are done ... it looks sloppy. Move the empty space to the outside of the ending </a> tag. In the menu, at least these two have trailing underscores:
Photo Printers
Inkjets
I don't think the side columns are too wide, that's part of the design and looks fine for that ... I would make the text in the right column a bit wider as it looks squished and you have a nice margin to deal with.

First of all thanks to you both Debs and edburdo for taking the trouble to look and comment. You know I was almost too scared to come back here and read them!!!

Debs is right, the colum sizes are part of the template I am using. The blank button is what SBI has used as the button for an active page. I don't like it either but not sure how to make it go away. It took me a while to realise where it was coming from.
Menu on the home page is nicer and is part of the template- but I have changed to buttons so I can use the SBI navbar as it was impossible to keep updating the menu manually. I am also going to put the buttons on my home page- just haven't got there yet. Thanks for the tip about menus being not lined up I will fix that.
It is really good to have folk with different browsers make these comments. I am thinking of downloading Opera so i can at least get another view of things.

Thanks for this. In my browser there is no link underlining at all with this template and so I can't see the overhangs. Do you know how I could change the style so that underlines are visible? I prefer links I can see.

I will make the text wider. Thanks again.

I have changed all the buttons so i hope they look better now. Will fix up the other bits and pieces tomorrow-if I can work out how to edit the templates style and get to see the links.

In your css file, add the underline note to all of the A: references:
TEXT-DECORATION:underline;
to have the hyperlinks show an underscore.

Thanks a million Debs. I still haven't quite got it right but enough so that now I can see the underlines in Front Page edit view. they don't show up on the preview pane but never mind.

I have found that all the WYSIWYG editors I have used (Vis Studio, FrontPage, Dreamweaver) do not always properly show my CSS when previewing them. But if I view them in my regular browser, they look fine.
And I like the changes... especially to your menu.
