Looking for some suggestions...

[Ness_du_Frat]

Hi !!!
I'm currently designing the new theme for my website. First of all, the website is about a book I wrote, and which can be read online (not that I think this would interest you, but just so that you know what it's about). I decided to go for a very original design (ok, maybe not SO original, but quite different from what you see on the web nowadays), which you can see here : http://psychomoa.free.fr/dotclear
Beware, the links don't really point anywhere, and apart from the firt section (news) and its subsections (except mailing-list), nothing is done...
The characters page is in progress : http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php (you can click on the piece of paper and select ruan or ludmea).
So, basically, I'm now facing a point where I can't think anymore... I would like to add some crazy little things like post-its or crappy pieces of paper you can move around the site, or pictures, or stuff like that, but... I don't know.
Anybody has some ideas in the same line of thoughts ? It would be brillant !

must say it is very creative and intresting to navagate your site, you should be proud as a designer, and a coder. anyway, the only suggestion i have is to get rid of the left to right scroll in your content window, and perhaps color your scroll bars to match that of the page?

Oh, yeah, it's on my to-do list ^^ I saw the left to right scroll (I think it was on opera), and as I'm using FF, I didn't really think of coloring the scrollbar (I would have done it, but it was not on my priorities).
Thanks for your nice answer, it's great that people actually like my website !!!!
Proud as a coder, not for the moment. When I'm done with tidying up the style sheet and commenting it, I'll start to think of being proud ^^
No crazy stuff suggestions ? I really want to do something weird... lol

heyyy cool website /no1. what web editor your using?

[Ness_du_Frat]

oh, thanks...
I don't really use an editor, so to say. I code in Dream MX (the last version), but I use only the code part (and only because I'm lazy : it finished the tags for me ^^).
Mostly, I would say it's hand-coded.
Any suggestions ?

honestly other than what I stated earlier, I would say that it is a ver ywell desighned site, that I do not see anything graphicly missing, or something pulling my eyes away from your content. last thing i can honestly think of is have it float in the center of the the page, and not centered at the top of the page.

lol. If this was possible, I would have done it.
It's a background-image, not an image. So, to center it vertically, it means using top-margin with negative value. And, on small screen, it pushed the top of the site up the browser's window, and about 100px disappear, without even a scroll... if I find a better solution, I'll post it in css forum, but for the moment, I haven't seen anything helpful.
No ideas for crazy things ?
I thought of making the post-it on the cover a draggable item, and just under it (if you drag it), you can see some stupid quotes... ^^
I already have a useless link, like "oh, you just clicked on something useless, how cool ^^ " (of course, what I'll put under this link will not be this precise text...), some little post-its for the news section, pictures for the characters' page...
For the Story page, I really have NO IDEA. I want this section to look like a real book (that's where the people can download chapters), but I still want to add something original... any suggestion for that ?
As for the tagboard... and actually the site section as well, and the bonus section too (bonus will be containing "guestbook", "Quiz", "Mailing-list", "give me your money (lol)", "tell a friend", "poll", and some stuff like that) Site will be more like credits and copyright information.
So ? :D

you could use that image in the background to a table

[Ness_du_Frat]

Yeah, I thought of making it a desk, with maybe some stuff on it, but it would be too long to load, I'm afraid.
(I hope that was the sense of your suggestion, and you didn't actually suggest me to use tables instead of divs for my site... >.<)
