Make it very simple !  No flashy fonts ! There is a site out there – can’t remember the link – where we can change the colour of the font and/or background with the click of a button/drop down menu. Also see http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=f673d600… which I’m sure will wrap so you’ll have to copy and past to get it all… As you’ll see, it’s a well discussed topic on the ng… The best thing to do is to design it and point us at the URL and ask us to make critical comments ! If you know Dyslexics, you’ll know that we tell the truth ;) — Nick in Northallerton www.whelan.me.uk Also nickw7coc on Yahoo Messenger & on MSN Messenger & www.skype.com !
