It's st.

When you mouse over the basket on the left hand side in Chrome, the text disappears.

Remove the costumes menu item, if there is no content there should be no navigation.

Hmm, dangerously close to advertising.

The enlarge function doesn't work.

well i think its great, and if i showed it to the missus she'd spend way too much money on it (she loves Halloween parties)

Clicked on some photos to enlarge them and they show the little red x instead.

Thanks! Let me know what the missus says!!


emailed the support line to ask about the enlarge bit. It works when i edit the site - not when i publish it.



Another question for all...

how do i submit the site to search engines?

(Never done a website before)

[Maxf]

enlargement doesnt work on Safari

[jasmine]

I'm not hugely keen on a red/black combination and I'm not fond of scrolling either - although I realise that's a personal preference, but maybe a 'back to top' button is worth considering.

Three ways to submit to search engines -

Pay the search engine, 'Google Key Words' for instance.

Submit the site to Google or Yahoo or whoever, a human will add it to an index of sites - thats free. All the search engines have a web site submission page.

Or wait and it'll appear - but that's pretty painful!

Speeling mistake on the front page: "Quaility".

ETA "vaneer" - fangs page.

looks ok, you are a trader who has their details listed on the whois site, so as u have nothing to hide, would buy from u

lots of problems though

Make-up and FX supplies.

tried to enlarge

http://www.shop-of-horrors.buzzsites.co.uk/_family...
got

Not Found

The requested URL /pages/enlargeImage was not found on this server.
Apache Server at www.shop-of-horrors.buzzsites.co.uk Port 80

none of the images actually enlarge

found it was a javascript issue, so everything allowed and I get a nice grey screen

http://www.shop-of-horrors.buzzsites.co.uk/_direct...

does not matter what I want to look at in a larger format, it does NOT work

forums are moderated and so will not be a spam fest which is great

eek !

Learn more about PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay.

Such a shame, do not want to give my credit card details to pay pal, oh well, will have to look elsewhere for supplies

trying to fix the enlarge bit as we speak. I had it working yesterday!

I've set Paypal up while i get started - then i need a merchant number to get world pay!


by the way - can any of you see www.shopofhorrors.co.uk be directed to the website?

I'm only getting 123-reg on that address, but it has been web forwarded...???

It's simple clean, and to the point, just how a site should be.
I'm glad that it's not over complicated by a flash movie introduction.

Good luck and I hope your shop is successful.

Enlarged images work, pity you have to sell English flags with England written on them, it is no longer a flag, or are you suggesting English people do not know what their flag is and need to be reminded ?

With the amount of people in the pub last night who didn't know when St'George's day was, they need all the help they can get!!!!!

23rd april afaik, googled and found a site that you might like

www.stgeorgesday.com

Be good to offer English flags as an alternative, as they can be flown on a pole, while the "england" label is not a flag
