Easy fix: Ignore the text-decoration rule!

Just include a bottom border:

a    {
    font-size:20px;
    border-bottom: 3px solid pink;
    text-decoration:none;
    color:red;
}

The first of many weeks is now over!
And its been a slow one, adapting and working from home.

Believe it or not, I haven’t had a spare moment with setting up the office, jotting down plans and preparing notes for new companies. Even trying to keep on top of a lot of the freelance work has been quite hard!!

Hopefully by tomorrow I would of finished the majority of the freelance stuff (at least its bringing in some cash :) ) and then can look into getting my other companies up and online..

Kris Fosh has to be one of the best illustrators I’ve worked with. [www.Dreamfever.co.uk]
As a webdesigner, I am happy to say my drawing skills aren’t amazing, I’m more of a programmer with good photoshop skills than a designer, even though I do get a lot of compliments for my webdesigns.

Jumping Site - Firefox scrollbars Fix.

Firefox does not display scrollbars unless your content overflows the viewport.
But what if your sites height keeps changing and is centerised?
This will cause your site to jump / shift slightly when scrollbars are required.

A simple fix include scrollbars!

For a mozilla/ Firefox fix use this:

html { overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; }

But if you want total cross browser Id use this:

html { overflow-y: scroll; }

I`m not too sure on overflow-y cross compatibility but I think it should work ;)

Good Bye Jagex

Its been an interesting 6 months and finally I’ve finished at Jagex :)
There’s no turning back now, its make or break for both Landon and I.

Giving up our jobs and secure lifestyles, to starting up our first business! Its a daunting feeling but I know we’re both very excited and are looking forward to see where our company(s) take us.

I’ve made a lot of friends whilst at Jagex and hey, even met Landon and without his aid probably wouldn’t of considered starting up a business on my own, for at least another 2 years.

As for the name and exactly what we are planning to do; you’ll just have to wait and see, sorry.
There’s only a handfull of people that know and we`ve only given them a smaller picture of what we are actually planning! With the integration of new technologies and other services currently available to the public.

I can’t wait to start :)
