Hello All, This is my first joomla site and what a learning curve it is has been for me. My old site is still hosted with yahoo and I was using their free "sitebuilder" to make the site. I liked the drag and drop functionality of it but it is just not what I was needing. I was looking for a more up to date look and one that would be more SEO friendly. Thus I landed on Joomla and with RocketThemes after debating between it and Wordpress. Let me know what you think. I'll post the link to the old site as I have not switched to the new site as of this writting. I think I am about 85% done and will be switching over soon.
That's a vast improvement! Looks good. You may want to widen the header though. My monitor is 1680x1200 which is pretty standard and I can see the header end and start again on the top right.
Thanks for the comment. I'm pretty proud of it. I made that header image virtually seamless from top to bottom but not left to right. Didn't even think about repeating images. That baby took many hours to make. Each ball is custom placed and each had to have the shadows added. I'll add getting the left to right seaming to my pick list! Thanks again.
I've made a few tweaks to the site. The nav bar and the article colors are now more pleasing to the eye. I fixed the shadow under the rok-stories that wasn't working correctly.
