It took a few days to get used to the site to be honest, when I first came accross it I did'nt really know what it was, so it might be worth a bit more saying what it is, also what some of the stuff down the right means to, I have just been clicking away to look but some peeps might not do that. Anyways im a member on an ebay friends forum and have posted this site on there to say how great it is!!! :lol: Hey well Im a newbie!!

It is the negative space (ie. the space around things) that gives a picture its impact. But we aren't going to get a horrible busy site, it is going to be spare and elegant and wonderful. Betcha.... :lol: Artistically white space is very important. It is the negative space (ie. the space around things) that gives a picture its impact.

In the context of a clique I was really thinking of the regular responders rather than the readers. I'm sure the readers vastly out number the responders and I have no idea as to their makeup. Note to tamebay authors:- I think my re-edit failed when I tried to include a smily that appeared in the edit box at the bottom. Josordoni, I agree with all that. :smile:
