I'll make a banner. It will be in two parts, one to fix left and one to fix right, with a solid colour in the middle defined in the page's CSS. This means it can be scaled horizontally.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Folks,<br>
<br>
I've been tweaking again, ahead of demo-ing website options at this<br>
Wednesday's talk... (More on that later ;-) )<br>
<br>
Trying to incorporate the comments and ideas I've heard thus far, I've<br>
revamped:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://nlug-3.wp.ml1.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://nlug-3.wp.ml1.co.uk/</a><br>
<br>
It is now a fully flexible width and it looks fine on both my desktop<br>
and smartphone thingie alike.<br>
<br>
I've also discovered that the latest browsers now support setting<br>
background gradients in the html/css. Ofcourse, the Mozilla, Webkit and<br>
IE render engines all do different things with IE not doing gradients at<br>
all. Can people check that the site renders sensibly please?<br>
<br>
The gradient code used is:<br>
<br>
background: #55aa55; /* fallback for older/unsupporting browsers */<br>
background: -moz-linear-gradient(-45deg, #117711, white 110%);<br>
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 110%, 0 110%, from(#55aa55),<br>
to(white));<br>
<br>
<br>
To add a bit of interest to the site instead of it looking very boringly<br>
geekie text-only, can anyone suggest/offer a banner strip (or logo<br>
strip) that can be added?<br>
<br>
One thought is a montage of from abacus - to babbage - to silicon chip.<br>
<br>
Any other ideas? Evolution of the penguin?... Dare we include any group<br>
pics??! :-o<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Martin<br>
