Yes a very nice site and an interesting argument about the apostrophy. In Ireland we would call it ‘Goat Milk’.

My only criticism of the site, and it’s a pet hate of mine, would be the JPEG artifact showing around the tag line in the header.

This is caused by over compressing the .jpg and it looks terrible on some site but it’s not too bad here. Often saving as a gif or png can give better results and the files are often smaller.

I’d be most grateful for the gesture!

Wow, you either have extremely good eyesight, or you have a huge computer monitor. Actually, (and don’t tell!) the header graphics are screengrabs from the originals the graphic design made… Let me see if I can do it up right. Details…details… attention to them are what separate the boys from the men!

thanks for the head’s up Scotty!

Details,Details,Details,Details. That’s what a lot of making a website is about, isn’t it. Then the guy you make them for sometimes don’t notice or appreciate the little details that take long in making. But it is woth it and it is for sure what can make a site great, beside goo content of course.

Well, I spaced on entering it, but don’t you think entering your own site a bit pompous? :laugh: I saw the one you nominated, but mine was nowhere to be seen…

Maybe next month you’ll remember me?

At first I thought it was ‘pompous’ to nominate our own sites but if I waited for someone to do it for me, I might be waiting awhile. 😉 (With the exception of the nomination in December).

If it will make you feel better I’ll nominate you next month, unless Quest beats me to it. I don’t think I’ve ever said this about anyone’s site on this forum so here it goes…
Your site is absolutely awesome. The graphics, the colors, the entire design… I simply love it. A friend of mine owns a goat farm and is contemplating a site. You’ve inspired me!

May I ask which contact form you are using?

Hey Chris, no worries, I was just giving you a hard time! Ignore me if it’s after 10pm my time.

Hey, I just got back from Hawaii, you gotta see this place! PM me if you’d like to see some web albums I made.

Carry On!

Hey Jessica!

Thanks for your sweet words. Yes, I agree…goats are kind creatures. The females, that is…male goats kinda gross me out!

I believe the component I used for The Canus Vermont site is jContacts (right now the host provider is down – not surprising for PShift) so I’ll write again if that’s incorrect.

Your site is beautiful, as well. When the page loaded , I felt like I was opening a well-designed scrapbook! (said with love!)

Ciao
