Well, I am happy to say that I have eventually updated the theme that I use for this website and fixed a major annoyance that the site had in Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0.
I use RapidWeaver on the Mac to code this site. RapidWeaver takes care of the navigation and structure and leaves me with the nice HTML to do for the content. Some great plugins and a real quick way to rapidly deploy a nice looking website. The theme I had been using was limited to 800 pixels wide. I can see from my browser that over 95% of this sites viewers are running at 1024x768 or higher so I decided to manually hand crank the CSS of the site to increase the width to 900 pixels.
Along with this, I had to fix a really annoying bug with IE6 where the main content displayed below the left column, resulting in most users bouncing the site in IE6 as they could not see that content. 25% of my visitors use IE6 so I had to get this fixed. I still have a very slight issue with IE6, but it is one that is hard to notice and one I will fix another day.
I have some great things planned for the site now, with more content, up to date reviews, and regular blog postings giving all the news about Poker, Casino, Bingo, and Sports Betting.

Online Poker Player Beats Professionals
29/03/08 16:46 Filed in: Poker News | PartyPoker
Andreas Jorbeck took down Europe’s top poker professionals in his first ever live game, the PartyPoker.com hosted Late Night Poker 2008 tournament. Jorbeck, 36 hails from Stockholm and has been playing smaller-scale online poker for around four years, never imagining that it would take him to this level of prestige.The final round featured players from the World Poker Tour including top champions, Roland de Wolfe, Andy Black, Ian Frazer, Eddy Scharf and Surinder Sunar among others. The event was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK and saw Jorbeck beat out de Wolfe after playing as an underdog for most of the rounds and winning an impressive $125, 000 by virtue of his win.
The Stockholm resident pressed his advantage in the finals by taking on a more aggressive approach to the play which enabled him to emerge at the top of the round, leaving the former champion de Wolfe as runner-up and 2008 Premier League Winner Black in third place.
Jorbeck is being touted as an example of the quality of online poker players as he managed to win against seasoned live-game professionals. PartyPoker.com is understandably enthusiastic about Jorbeck’s display and his show of skill in a tournament that had him barely pegged as a contender.
Barklem Competing for UK Pub Poker Champion
29/03/08 14:39 Filed in: Poker News
The British Fossway pub in York has seen the rise of local grandmother and former Nestlé employee, Christine Barklem (known to her friends as Titch) in poker competitions. Barklem, 52 only just recently learned to play having picked up the game around the end of last summer from getting into pub rounds and has shown a natural talent at Texas Hold ‘Em.
Despite winning multiple games and racking up a good deal of local notoriety, Barklem has been rewarded with little by way of money. Her entrance into the UK Pub Poker Championship itself only rewards £100 and a trophy because of strict laws governing gambling regulations within Great Britain. Just the same Barklem has already entered into the top three hundred pub poker players in all of the United Kingdom with little less than a year’s experience under her belt – an honour not to be underestimated.
The finals of the UK Pub Poker Championship will be held this Sunday, March 30th at Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn and will determine the final winner of the long weeks of intense poker playing. Barklem will surely have fans cheering her on as she goes for the title.
