    the story is that its a lifestyle mag with a conscience. we are quite glossy, but we arent afraid to look deeper either. i think its a niche that hasnt really been filled on the internet other than by publications like the big issue, but we are aiming to be more glossy than that.

    just end it is run by http://www.nosweat.org.uk/ i would encourage anyone to get involved in ending this disgusting practice. workers getting a fair wage needent mean that you cant buy trainers anymore. nike gives less than a quarter of what it spends on advertising as wages, yet they are a hugely profitable company.

    A tiny 0.4% of the cost of a sportshoe made in Indonesia and sold in Europe goes to the workers. And only 8% goes in materials to make the shoe.

    Where does the rest go? A massive 88% of the shoe's shop price goes to the sellers, distributors and the brand name.

    Angry hey

    well, the site looks attractive.
    but it givmes me horizontal scroll bar at 1024 x 768. which is not good.

    too much of text.. and nothing gives me gist of what the site is all about. Be more descriptive with graphics..

    good luck!

    Cheers,
    Shalin

    ok, well this page may have solved these problems. it was intended all along i just hadnt got round to implementing it..

    -introduction of chromeless windows to eliminate the sideways scroll.
    -introduction to site in general
    -introduction to site brand.

    okay!

    chromeless windows is not a good idea. Becomes irritating to first time viewers.

    Rest is fine. do implement.

    cheer,

    chromeless is the only way i can implement it so it'll be ok for 1024*768. it is only one window, and it is large. i'm not gonna be launching loads of little ones, it'll pretty much work the same as an ordinary page
