    Hello MKK,

    I am glad to say that it is an artiststeer skin that my website developer used to create the look of my site AnswersToAccidentQuestions.com, however I am a little concerned as to how it is ranking on the search engines at this time.  My next project will be to take a look at that situation.  Thank for the feed back.

    Hello Parker1900, I appreciate the feedback, In my search to learn dotnetnuke I have created another site with a different skin and a business directory. This site is www.answerstocaraccidentquestions.com, any comments on this new site would be appreciated. I am thinking I like this site better.

    On the navigation, you may want to prevent the dropdown menus from being narrower than the horizontal navigation parent. This way the nice rounded dropdown menus will always sweep out and down nicely instead of a possible cut in and disconnected rounding.
    To fix that, in your skin.css within the class .mainmenu-submenu (starts at line 213) add min-width:170px; within the brackets.

    There's an area at the top of each page within the main content area with an

    Google Top Pane

    , the font is specified by .EMContainerTitleFontColour1 {color: #FFFFFF;}... so the font color is white on white background (invisible) so it just creates a gap above the valued content. Is that an empty module that could just be deleted?

    The module container style (catalyst-container-3) looks cool but it creates an unnecessary high contrast block of blue so close to the similar horizontal navigation. Your first tab "Car Accident Home" has an

    Car Accident Questions

    ... this looks less fancy but the text pops out and almost makes me read it where the blue bars tend to obscure the text they contain. So I'd recommend eliminating the module container style that adds the additional blue boxes when they sit immediately under the horizontal navigation. There are question and answer containers and other content further down the page on your site where they look very nice.

    Several pages have the container catalyst-container-staples that looks like a stapled paper with page curl on bottom corners... looks cool but since it's blank it isn't providing any value except to possibly separate content - but it's too tall (about 360px) for a simple break and just makes someone have to scroll the page to get to your good content.

    Also, lesser issue in my opinion but my wife thinks little of any content on a site with a need for ... proofreading.
    There's a misspelling on the Car Accident Preparedness - Before A Car Accident page. Step 7. Be Prepared, the 4th bullet point caught my attention. The words you'd want in there are [warming "device"] and ["make-"shift].

    Great stuff Merle - an awesome first site!

    Oops, previous post is rendering HTML I meant to display not rendered... "Google Top Pane" is an h3 header and "Car Accident Questions" is an h1.

    Hello Steefow,

    I appreciate all of the advise, I have not liked the way the menu structure has looked and I have had no idea how to fix it my self, but know that I know what is wrong from your suggestion I will have someone take a look at it.

    The Google Top Pane is a empty module that I am using putting my Google Adsense code in the header section.  That is the only way that I can get the Google code to work.

    I agree with getting ride of the high contrast blue containers, but there is not enough time in a day, as for editing the content I completely understand and wish I could find someone to help with that. I emplemented the changes of "warming device" and "make shift" that you suggested.

    Thank you for the great advise and if you have any more input please let me know.  If anybody else wants to check out my site they can do so by going to www.answerstocaraccidentquestions.com

    Thank you,

    Merle
