Thanks

Yeah, don't think it looks good on the main body text but on the RH yes, I
actually reduced to RH title letter spacing to -1px to fit, I have put it
back and reduced the word spacing instead.

Not sure what you mean here, the contrast between the white logo and the
dblue BG seems good to me and the logo stands out a lot, maybe you could
take a screen shot if your not seeing what im seeing.

Yeah, was padded by 3px, now padded by 7px which is nicer.

Another good suggestion.

Random, images are done server site with asp, simple randomise script.



The rounded boxes are done in css with 4 rounded corner images placed
absolute top/left, top/right, bottom/left, bottom/right all -1px to the
container div. border of 1px on the div itself. And a title div containing
the title text absolutely placed over the top border with a repeated
background image to give the effect of the line disappearing but keeping the
split of the white and Lblue BGs.
