SITE INFO:
I have gone through at least four different layouts for my site. Green text on black, grey text on black, those sort of disgustingly grim layouts that make a visitor feel somehow unwelcome...most of the time.
"I wanted to give C2K a modern, fresh look that boasted easy navigation and quick access to good content..."
When I visited Pcgamer.co.uk, for a daily visit to see if my fave game had been reviewed, I kinda liked their layout enough to make it the basis of my brand new fresh C2K design for the new millennium.
So, thanks to Pcgamer for giving me the basic layout of my site, INSPIRED by their design.

SITE SETUP:
To make your C2K visit a pleasant one, it is best to have the right browser, monitor resolution and javascript/java enabled. Follow these tips to view C2K properly:
Browser
I am an AOL-user, and I find that I can view my site perfectly with no problem with graphics or layout. However, with Netscape (being the awfully crap browser that it is), it's impossible for me to even load the page never mind view it. If you have any problems with AOL or Netscape, email me with the details and I'll see what I can do.
The ideal browser to use to view C2K is Internet Explorer 4.0 + - as it has everything you will need to view the page properly. If you don't have Internet Explorer, you shouldn't really be here, as my browser detection should already have caught you! In the mean time, download Internet Explorer 5.0, and alter its settings as below. It does not consume much space, but can take time to load. I am hoping to create an all-user friendly C2K, but right now, I really can't be bothered seeing that IE5 is so easy to obtain :)

Monitor
I have had numerous problems with my monitor while surfing the net. I find that it is mainly resolution that upsets the PC, and so I always keep my screen set to 16 bit / 800 x 600 screen resolution. To prep your monitor, follow these guidelines for Windows 95/98 users only:
-- While in Windows, go to Start> / Settings / Control Panel
-- Double click the Display icon, then click the Settings tab at the top
-- In the Settings area, change your colour resolution to High Color (16-Bit) and change your screen size to 800 x 600 pixels

Java
My site uses occasional JavaScript, and so it is only obvious that your browser, preferably IE5, should be Java-Enabled and ready to roll. If in doubt, please read these instructions on altering your Internet Explorer 4.0 + browser:
-- In IE4+, go to Tools/Internet Options then click Advanced
-- Once in Advanced, scroll down to "Java Script" (or in some browsers - "Microsoft VM") and check the box next to each of the following:
Java Console enabled (requires restart)
Java logging enabled
JIT compiler for Virtual Machine enabled (requires restart)
