No worries - I initially thought I could handle flash, but even with online forums and tutorials, it's very easy to get lost.

If you don't have Fantastico, you can always install a free program onto your web hosting. (Ie. Joomla.com. I've used it and it's very easy) CSS and HTML are pretty common nowadays, so you could probably just find a free template you like and plug it in to your site. There's also a generator here:

And if you do a search on mashable.com for website design, there should be a lot of posts with free tools. I found the above link on the site, with a few more generators and tools for a range of coding languages:

Well I hate to hijack Dr Puppets thread further but,   I did just read of a web page program that has Flash apilities built into it.  It may be worth looking into. http://www.webeasyprofessional.com/  I have not tried it out but it does only cost $50.00 so is not too much of a risk.  It has gotten really good reviews.

Sorry Dr Puppet for the hijack.... we'll try to get back on focus now.

BTW I had not said it yet but I really like the new look.  Great graphics and interface. The only thing I can suggest is to create a non-flash version of it. It can be a pain to have to duplicate content but there are still those out there who do not like flash sites or have problems downloading them.

Just to add... I used a flash program called SwishMax. It's about $150, but it's very easy to use, and there's a lot of tutorials and help. Plus you get free upgrades as I recall.

Thats ok guys if it can help someone I could upload the flash file for you guys to look at and get the coding.

That would be great

I will zip it up and load it this week. Does anyone know how to upload a zip file here???

As long as the zip file is within the size limit you should be able to attach it to a post the same way you attach a photo.  I'll double check that I have the .zip extension enabled for this area. I did just recently lower the file size that is allowed so if you have problems with the limit let me know and we can work around it.

Ok I will try it

Hey Jay,

Loving the new website - looks and navigates brilliantly. Almost feels like a bronzy TARDIS console with the buttons and dials and stuff!

And some gorgeous puppets in the Puppeture pages - nice wigs on the first one. ALMOST looks like Romana II aka Lalla Ward *mouth waters*

Thanks David I think I have your pattern worked out. I am going to try and build a test head and see how it looks.
