My 5C: Header suggestion no. 2 and 3 is good. Perhaps in no.3 change the
image to the left and text to the right.

Been there, done that. . . I've tried it both ways (left and right).
IMO it's a *little* bit better balanced on the left. I'm using a 17 inch
monitor. I view the page full size then shrink it to approximately the
size of a 15 inch monitor. FWIW - that's about as small as the text can
be and still be readable (I've played with that too). If we want to use
that layout I think the definition of Freeware should be a GIF rather
than text. The GIF's text layout wouldn't change when the size of the
web page changes.

What about the colours from no. 3, with the logo placed as in no. 2 and
the 'freeware text' below the a.c.f (like in no. 1).

Did that make any sense at all ?

Almost. This is a better way to post the info. (Substitute whatever
color numbers, text font (if used in table A), logo image etc. you want
to submit and I'll create the header.)

layout number 2, BODY - bgcolor="#FFFFF4"

TABLE A -
bgcolor="#99CCFF"
FONT FACE="Tahoma,Lucida Sans Unicode,Arial"
image: fwacf99ccff.gif

TABLE B - bgcolor="#33CC99"
TABLE C - bgcolor="#FFFFF4"
TABLE D - bgcolor="#FFFFCC"

Hi, Susan. I'm sorry to say: I'm a complete moron (do hope not too many
agree ).

The above is totally mumbo jumbo or greek to me. I use WYSIWG programs
(earlier: Frontpage, now: NVU) and can't code a single HTML line.

But I took a screenshot of how I wished it would look (from NVU):
http://users.pandora.be/erlandvo/acf/SNAG-0002.jpg

That's really the best I can do. And I did what I suggested:

And I removed the dot...

I'm the idiot. I assumed that you knew something you didn't. There are
lots of color pickers around. Take a look at this site. Click on a color
and it will show you the color number (black = 000000 white = FFFFFF)
Those are the numbers I was asking for.

Okay - will do - but I'm hoping you, Nicolaas and others will suggest
*better* colors. There's lots of room for improvement. I just threw in a
few old colors that were lying around loose

I hear you but be warned that webpage design is definitely not my
territory. Not to hijack the thread, is there a freeware logo design
program around? I haven't found one.

Done (I did two variations):

if you mean a text logo. . .

I've used X-Fonter a bit - easy to work with but counter intuitive (IMO)
- I finally wrote myself a reminder note: "YOU NEED TO TYPE 3D TEXT IN
THE TEXT BOX STUPID!!!!!!!!"

Program: X-Fonter (v 4.6)
Author: BlackSun Software
W: LFW
Ware: (Liteware) (free for personal use) v 4.6

backgrounds; etc. etc. etc.

I'll have a look at those. Ideally it needs to be vector based so as not
to lose any definition when re-sized.
