An excellent idea.

Yep, I use a contrasting color layer under trans logos fro that reason...then turn it off b4 exporting.
although PS is pretty good at nto creating that problem.
if ya wanan send the logo, I could clean up for ya, esp, if' it's a .PSD. Your grey BG is actually not one color, it is meant to be a gradient?
Prob. is the pub proggy..MS Publisher eh? They use low-res .wmf/.pcx art that blows on teh webz.
Best for transparency in web stuff is .PNG, or .GIF is second best.
if ya need any help, lemem know?
If I get time, mebbe I'll redo the logo fro ya, but i got nother logo project atm for a game...but no biggie mate.

Thanks hotpepper and Quadz, I've redone the logo again and it looks cleaner now. Thanks for the tips guys.
Agree

Actually, Google's alrady spidered his whole site.
The Node bit shouldn't matter as the CMS is made for easy indexing.
2nd and 3rd Google hits for "AntJan" go to his site, and if ya hit 'more from this site' its' all there.

SE's are smarter these days. The spider pretty much everything.
I updated the site last night to more user friendly URL's, rather simple to do in Drupal.
I've been working on my labels and have uploaded the new ones to my website.

They're a little blurry on this page due to my sizing settings. They are fullsize if you download them though.
I like how they all look, and as usual comments and thoughts are welcomed.

I was considering making them clickable to another page that opens a full size image and product description.

Yeah, should be pretty easy to have the link be a link to the full-size pic in a new window. Then, just include text reminding visitors to click to see the full size. 
Page loads will ba faster too if ya just load thumbnailed images on the page, and link to the big pics.
You probably don't need them, but I decided to rip off a quick batch of thumbs for ya. Tried to follw the sizes you had in the source already.

Reduced from over 1,300Kb worth to about 300Kb.

All you have to do is right click, and choose "view image".

Thanks for the thumbnails dude, I tend to forget about load speed my connection sits around 17-19 Mbps
Speed is not the only issue it's saving your resources. Think of a 500 watt bulb where a 10 watt bulb could be, putting out the same amount of light!

It's one of those 'duh' moments, I'd forgotten you could do that.
QuadShotz said:How many people know to do that though?
In particular, I'd never have known they was any other size to see if he hadn't told me.
Ya gotta assume website visitors are idiots...most are.
That is very true.

Put it this way about resources...here's what happened when I did an image for someone, and forgot to check if they were hotlinking or not...
It's a less than 1Mb image, but was a VERY busy site he was on...see how the bandwidth dropped like a rock after I removed the image.
That one image being served up ate over 11% of my hits and over 86% of my bandwidth for the month.
Now imagine you have like 10 of them as you do.
