This is where I'm at as far as designing the website. My most recent steps in order above. Still stuck. Still frustrated. Although I like the direction of the last one and hopefully with a bit of 'fixer-uppering' it may turn into an alright idea. So far it's a swing tag posing as the navigation bar and everything else will sort of float on the background somehow - need to figure that part out. But this is basically what i was thinking the swing tag could look like. Once again.. let me know what you think
