LOL!

You're right, and I just had to do it too <g> because both images are
positive, maybe even a little edgy, and that's exactly what you want to do
with your website. If there are any guys out there who still don't get what
I'm trying to say, think sports jacket over a cool t-shirt (rather than the
three-piece suit) and remember that animated gifs are usually hawaiian
shirts at a funeral.

You mean I shouldn't wear my brightest Hawaiian shirt to a funeral? Hmmm...
Maybe that's why those little old ladies were looking askance! And all
along I thought it was the cutoffs & purple Crocs...<g>

Seriously though, your image was a very good one - as it got across exactly
what I believe you meant.

What do you think of the NavBar, I have it on top and side. It made the
page too long if I did one bar on the side or top. Then what do you
think of the rollover?

Well.... since you asked..... <g>

I like the rollover, but it would be nice if the bees had a transparent
background or one to match the button colour. Text maybe a little too close
to the edges. The top-and-side works fine; it's intuitive and clear. The
only suggestion I can make is to move Raffle and Photos to the top, swapping
with What You Can Do and Honeybee Facts to group the material by logical
progression.

Your pages fit nicely on a screen, so I don't think you need the bottom text
navigation bar (dept. of redundancy dept.).

Another comment, not related to navigation. Sans serif fonts, i.e.
Arial-Helvetica, are much easier to read than serif (Times Roman etc.) in
body text. The serif, used for titles, provides a nice contrast.

Y'know, I'm finding it tough to pick out much to criticize... compared to
your first version, which wasn't that long ago, this is miles ahead.

Rock on!
