Very nice site. I love it however there is one problem.
I'm using Netscape right now and the horizontal bg and your header are not aligned.
I'm not sure how to fix that. Over all, lovin it =)

I have made the background stagger on purpose; I have tested in netscape, and it looks as intended.
all comments welcome littletoaster.com (http://www.littletoaster.com)
Thankyou for heads up though, Anthony:)

I'm using IE and I thought the mint was a lil light - but that's just me I think
I hate to bring this up, but I absolutely hate poor spelling - a typo is one thing - but bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation take away from readability for me...
on the "web design.html" page I think it would look better if you listed your services in more of a list fashion - not exactly a list but indented on both sides to make it stand apart from the rest of your content - and "Services include" should be followed by a : (colon) not a ; (semi-colon) and since "Web Design" is the title for the page it should have a different heading style than the "Coding Semantics" and services
web design.html and site map.html both have a space in their file names - I thought it was advised to not have spaces in file names? - not a pick just a question
Otherwsie, I thought the site looked quite nice :)

Looks pretty good, but noticed one little quirk.
At the site map page, in IE, roll over the word "Site Map" and your footer moves down a couple pixels. Then in order to get it back, you have to roll over "Contact"

I like the site but there is one thing I don't like. (Ok here it comes, I don't know how to say this in proper english). The gray background doesn't hotizontal align with the gray of your menu. Add 10px padding top on it and it will align.

well I guess since noone realizes that the top section is not suppossed to line up maybe a slight drop shadow on the grey on grey part may help the viewer realize they aren't suppossed to line up?
All in all looks nice. Simple but nice. One small thing that I don't know if i tbugs me or not. The vertical border on your COntact page is Grey while on your Web Design and Site Map pages it's green. Was that intentional?

It seems sort of bland without any good graphics. All gray and plain.
A colorful, cartoonish drawing of a "little toaster" might be a nice touch.
Maybe everything grayish except the image ... an interesting contrast.
You should of course, draw your own "little toaster" ... or hire someone
to design it for you ... make it unique and your own (like a logo).

At present I am just trying to establish my own style, and teach myself to be a better web developer, I have only been studying the subject for 1 year. So I dont really have much to offer any other sites in the way of link value.
I am producing a Blog for a university project to use on this site, once completed I can start sharing / gaining knowledge via regular articles, tutorials etc.
Thanks for the comments, Anthony
p.s I will swap links with anyone in similiar situation / pr!
