    hahaha I only put that link in there this evening, so it would be easier to do tomorrow. That's exactly what I would have tried but it's staying as is so you got a sneak preview.

    What did you think btw?

    Not fully finished but we like it.

    Honestly - it's a good foundation design, but could probably be touched up a bit. The colour scheme, while original makes me think (a.) whoa and (b.) McDonalds :P. Then again, I'm a tough person to please in terms of design - even though personally I can't draw a straight line ;).

    No reply on the reviewing position - so I'll take that as a no then :(
