Well after a weekend of sweat and tears and much help from Melissa (my website guru) I have finally got myself a website......and learnt that a career in IT is definately out of the question for me  bear_wacko

There are not many bells and whistles  bear_whistle to it but overall I'm pretty happy.  If you get a chance to take a look I would love to know what you all think.

Melanie, it's clean and pretty and easy to navigate and undestand, and your bears are beautifully highlighted.

I think you did a marvelous job!

I do understand the frustration part, tho; it can be absolutely maddening.

Super job!!!

Thanks girls for all the lovely feedback - most appreciated  bear_thumb

Chrissie thank you so much for adding my link to your website.  A links page is on my to do list and I'll certainly add you and all the Teddy Talkers who would also like to be added to it (I'm sure there is thread around that has a list of the people who wanted to exchange links??).

Anne Tilby the globetrotter (cat on the globe) is a OOAK has was a commision made from a photo (hence the little black mark on his nose).  However I do plan on making more cats on balls/globes etc in the near future including a calico (my childhood cat).

Thanks once again for all your lovely comments.

Mel
PS Melissa you are being far to modest. I couldn't have done it without you.

bear_thumb You've done a great job with your new website!!!  bear_thumb   Its very easy to navigate, all the pics pop up fast and clean, and your bears, one after another gave me a smile  bear_flower   

I know what you mean about getting your head around IT work.... I was so  bear_wacko fried  bear_wacko  when I built my website.  I don't think I'd used my brain that much since I'd gotten out of college  bear_laugh   But it is fun to tackle a challenge, and I think you've tackled this one and come out on top  :hug:
