One option is just to leave it as it is... Google will pick it up soon and you will be on their listing... Not a bad looking site... I have a sneaky suspicion you are after visitors to your site from the Forum.

Sneaky, but well done!!:clap: :clap:


(Just be aware that not everyone has comic-sans on their font list...)

good thinking but not intentional I am really wanting to know how to understand the jargon and as for google picking it up ?i don't think it will without my knowing how to put in the mega tags etc.:huh:

It's in your sig, so that should start generating a lot of hits (speaking of which...\/ \/ \/ :heyhey: ). If you frequent any other forums, put the address in your signature there aswell.

Also, no offence intended, but I would consider using a font other than comic sans; maybe it's just personal preference, but I reckon it would look a bit more professional with something less crazy :D

Where you have "Please come inside ................" could you have a link to the "our apartment" page, saves having to scroll back up to your links.

If I had my way, noone would have comic sans anywhere on their computers. It's even made its way onto Macs!

Your links font and main font are quite different. You might want to try something a little more conservative - arial/helvetica/verdana.

As Frodo pointed out, not everyone has comic sans and if it's not there, the font that is substituted might be illegible (I've seen sites come up in wingdings because somone's laid it out using some obscure font they think is pretty but noone else has).

Aside from that, it's not bad. One of these days (well, next week, actually) I'll get back to sorting out dasgrafik.com...
