Enjoy the music!  :aok  May i recommend you add some more information that you're a bomber squadron. I really didn't notice it in your recruitment page and i overlooked it on the main page.

Some observations:
- Your content does not fit on my screen (1280x1024). There are scroll bars in both direction in both FF and IE.
- Some of the navibar links open new flaps, while others don't.
- Why same links in at top navibar and at left side?
- The title pic's link does not work.
- Overall look and feel is quite clear and nice.

-Resized the top banner.
-Going to remove some of the top navibar links as there are links on the left side as well. Thanks for pointing that out sir.  :salute
-title pic don't work? you sure?

There's going to be scroll bars, but i resized the image so it should lessen that.

Talon, the header picture worked for me, but its squashed a bit from left to right. change the line ....

<center><img src="http://darkhillstudios.com/EaglesofDuxford/images/78centerheader.png" width="500" height="200" alt="" /></center>

to read....

<center><img src="http://darkhillstudios.com/EaglesofDuxford/images/78centerheader.png" width="800" height="200" alt="" /></center>

It should bring it a bit closer. The original picture is 972x203, but I don't think it will fit the space. Resizing the picture to fit the width of the space would be best, tho you will loose a bit of height.

The logo picture should get the same <center> tags as the "centerheader" picture.

The sites a bit plain, but thats what you get with templates. For your site this works though. You don't want a lot of eye popping colors and bunches of animated gif's and head banger music pumping out the speakers. Squad sites are informational sites, not "sales" sites so you really don't need all that "hype", so a quite, sedate site works well.

Looks good, keep at it.  :aok

Aside from resizing the images on the top page, it looks good.

You can visit my site, or at least a portion of it you might enjoy.. http://home.att.net/~historyzone/Seversky-Republic.html
