You may have a slight problem though as menu bar at the top with drop down menus underneath only appears for one second before dissapearing. For example - Machines and then a list of machines underneath cannot be viewed after page has loaded. You only see the word Machine. Same with "blog" it is not visable as it should be on first menu page. I had to search for it! Just thought you would appreciate the info! Very informative site though I will definately be back. Would love to learn letterpress! Website looks great! You may have a slight problem though as menu bar at the top with drop down menus underneath only appears for one second before dissapearing.
