OK, a basic design for a site of my own :-) Your comments are appreciated.
At least (;-) one problem: In Opera7 the hover images don't show immediately
(a preload with 1px images didn't solve it)

The image at the top left overlaps your main header.  If I narrow the
window, the menu items on the left start overlapping the main content.  I
don't like the look of the fadeout effect on the box around your main
header, nor the faint "rainbow" background in the menu area.

When I scroll down, the links in the footer overlay the content.  The
left column overlays the content, too.  Try looking at this in a
smallish window (<800px wide) and larger text size.

About the overlap on window resize, I started with a design where the
contentbox has a left margin (21ex) and the menu box has a width of 20ex and
floats left of the content box.
Problem there was an overlap of content and menu after View->text-zoom->50%
in Mozilla. But perhaps that is to be preferred to the problems in a
narrowed window.

That dissapoints me :-(

Ehhh, that very faint brown to gray gradient can hardly be expressed as
"rainbow".
Do you have a better suggestion for the background?

Thanks for the critique!

Ahhh, I see. Only in Mozilla. I'll fix that.

I'll apply the first version (that one only gave an overlap of menu and
content in text-size 50% in Mozilla)

Did you notice any delay in display of the pictures on hovering the main
menu?

Thanks! Nico

Funny. Same behavior as with my page, but when I leave the page and come
back, it works fine. Very nice-looking, Nico. Beautiful, in fact.

After the first crushing critiques I swithed back to a former version:

Hope this one is better :-)

I like it lots, Nico.  I particularly like the look of the fadeout
effect on the box around your main header, and the faint "rainbow"
background in the menu area.

Rainbow? I see very cool shading from darker to lighter from the left edge
inward, but do you literally mean "rainbow," as in red, yellow, blue, green,
violet? I don't see that in Netscape or IE.

In Opera, the images in menu items 2, 4, 5, and 6 work perfectly, but 1, 2,
and 3 have the same problem I encountered in IE. No rainbow here either. ; )
