I've been on the site thirty seconds, and I don't know what it's about. That usually means I'm not going to hang around much longer.

Statistically speaking, at least. Give us some kind of info on the front page. Perhaps your mission statement?

Erm...ok. I found the problem. There is a common web browser by the name of Mozilla Firefox, and it doesn't render the mission statement on the front page. (I.E. has some built in features that have, sadly, become staples on the web)

With that in mind, I'd take the floating text off, because it could throw non-I.E. users through the "What is this site?" loop.

Remember- the goal of any webmaster is to get his/her information or services to as many people as possible.

EDIT: I hate to mean Firefox, but it's several hundred times better than IE.

Hey, whatever happened with your jacket saga with Jafrum. Did they send you a refund? Did you ever get a jacket?

I got the jacket and I like it. It's made of heavy leather just what I hoped for.

Done.
