Hi Folks-- my new website is up and running (same www.busmanwhistles.com URL). Not a huge amount of new content except for a few pics, but the site is cleaner and easier to navigate. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments, even if I didn’t use all of them 
One pretty Kingwood still waiting for a good home, and a new batch starting tomorrow ( I promise, Mike…).
And very nice it looks too, imho.
Very nice, Paul! You’re on my list for my next self-indulgent spending spree.
One wee suggestion, if I may…on your subpages you might add a “Home” button.
All the best!

I’m working on it.

All I get is the flashpage. Nothing clicks except the envelope.
(IE 5.1 on a Mac with OS 9.2.2)
Ditto for me! 
Hi Paul,
The home page looks great, however nothing to click to go further except for the email and Tinwhistle WebRing.
Sounds like some folks see different stuff. I wonder if it is related to the type of Browser or Operating System.
I’m using Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft XP.
Look forward to seeing more!

Paul,
I sent you an email with a screen snap shot and the html source code that my computer receives and is translating.
Hope it helps!
All i get is a pretty picture of whistles, a welcome message, a counter (133) and an icon to send an email to Paul. I’m running Opera 7.

another ditto here. I use Mozilla Firebird, which is basically a modified netscape-type browser.
what they said. IE 6.0 in WinXP.
IE 5, Mac OS 9.0.4 (lame IT guys)
Counter, envelope, webring icon, and photo of some truly lovely looking whistles. Talk about whetting our whistles! 
I’m ditto on the showing clickables. Further, the color in the webring buttons is pale pink on my monitor, almost invisible. I can override it, but I shouldn’t need to.
I STRONGLY suggest using frames for your navigation, even if it’s only two - content top, nav bottom. Makes your users’ lives much easier. It needn’t be obvious, and there are very few browsers any more that don’t support frames. In fact, I can’t think of any.
I STRONGLY suggest getting two people, one with normal vision and one who’s red-green colorblind to pass on the readability of the page, especially the button text, and anything anyone’s gonna want to read. The RG colorblindness affects quite a few people, mostly males.
You make pretty whistles, Paul! I certainly love mine!

Congrats on the new site, Paul. be sure and pop this thread back with an update when you get the bugs out. I can’t wait to see the rest of the stuff in there.
Well, it looks GREAT in Netscape 7.0, and everything works. Good idea, including the clip.
And if I may add, for anyone considering, Kingwood makes a very pretty whistle

Everything seems to be working for me (Mac OS X 10.3, Internet Exploder), except that not all the woods have sample photos.
I agree, though that you need to add a Home button to each page, and that the pale pink on the Webring links needs to be changed to something readable.
Tony’s sample sounds good, by the way.
Don’t know if you have changed anything, but it is working perfectly at my house using IE 6.0.2800 and Win XP Pro.
Mine works fine now… Great site!
It’s Baaaaaack! My web guy and fellow whistler fixed the missing nav buttons. I will be adding more wood pics as I get them, and a HOME button is in the works. Also working on a “reviews” page. Thanks to all for the heads-up on the missing buttons and all suggestions.
Home button added and the lettering in the Web Ring can now be seen more clearly.
Tada!
