Review Blog Template

[brendandonhue]

Wow...haven't been on this forum in a while :)

Anyways, I put up a new blog a month or two ago and I'm looking for suggestions on the design. Its not my own template, its the template from the blogging software, but its heavily customized. Its valid XHTML and CSS, and the only table is the calendar. It looks as intended on Firefox, but there are probably glitches on IE and other browsers (I know it looks slightly stretched on IE/Mac, and the font sizes aren't perfect on Konqueror). Anyone have any ideas/suggestions for me?

P.S. - Don't bother reviewing the content. I already know its weird. And yes, I know I spelled "Cow" wrong.

Thanks a lot
-Brendan

Hello,

I guess I'll start reviewing ;) Alright, the first thing that I see is "Current MooPoll: What's your favorite sport?," when I hover over this link it is too light, I can't read it without highlighting it first. Next, your content needs some padding. I'm also not a big fan of the stars that are rotating. The background color of them doesn't match the blue but it also is distracting.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
I'll make the link at the top darker and a few px of padding around the content. I know flashing, rotating, shiny animated GIFs are so 1997, I just kind of ripped those off google image search :eek: Will have some less intrusive ones soon.
