New Gotem Site
Posted: 28th March 2009 03:43 PM

Hello everyone,

I am submitting this site more in order to praise Adam at seydesign for his excellent (and birthday price reduced) theme, Gotem, than for any comments (although they would be welcome). Truth is, I haven’t done a great deal apart from changing colours, adding my own images and using plug-ins such as Stacks, Collage.

Thanks very much, Adam.

I love the cool calm restful colours of the site and the header images. You’ve done a good job and I’m sure Adam will be pleased. I have to admit I wasn’t too keen on the Gotem theme until I saw your site. Now I can see its potential. Thanks for posting.

And thanks for your kind response, Guru.

I have to agree, the color choices go beyond what I would have ever imagined for Gotem, really toning it down a lot. Well done.

Thanks very much to all for your comments. I think it actually looks slightly better in Safari than Firefox - the drop shadow on the main titles shows up better (on my screen anyway).
A little question: on pages where there is a sub-menu in the sidebar such as this one, that menu just seems a tad high to me - a bit too close to the extra-content bar.  How difficult would it be to move it down a smidgeon?

Thanks again

John

John,

I went to the page you mentioned in your most recent post and found an issue on IE7/XP.  The content is too low on the page. there is about 4’ of white space above the collage display.  It is lower than the menu in the sidebar.  I suspect there is a width issue on the page and it bumps the content down. It works fine on the market memories page however

Thanks for letting me know Brian. Unfortunately I only have macs and I don’t use IE. I suppose I should really, just to check everything works for all browsers. Meanwhile, if anyone can suggest how it might be corrected for IE7 I would be grateful.

Thanks again,

John
