Hello -

I've looked at your site, and have the following comments.

- Decrease the size of the banner. It's way too big. It takes up the majority of my screen.

- Separate the navigation from the banner. Right now, it's not too obvious.

- I like the color scheme: NICE.

- I noticed that some text is in Verdana, then Arial. You might choose one font. The subtle variation between these two is just enough to make the page look a little disjointed.

- Nice clean coding

- You might do a find and replace to locate the instances of "catagory," changing it to "category"

- You need to keep the link underlining, or choose a different color for the text links. The Links are not obvious.

- Don't forget the "alt text" for your images....

Good Luck!

thanks a lot for your comments. I'll be updating with some changes tonight!

When I load the page I get the background color with a small quote at the bottom that looks like it's cut off from the top- which is empty of everything except the background color. I can scroll down and I see the banner- a cool looking banner, but it is too big.

I like the color scheme- not too flashy and not boring either.


Overall, excellent site. I like a lot!

very nice except! i posted a comment on your site about your comment box it should be as wide as the actual article though i like the :hover effects etc. BUT
make the banner small, people want to see CONTENT not images, maybe you could use the image as a loading splash using javascript or somthing like that... some help? http://fabio.ugtech.net/code/8/loading-script-in-javascript-using-css

Sorry I haven’t had time to reply. I've been really busy with work. I really appreciate the comments! Especially you, dera, I'm totally going to use that JavaScript loading splash if it does what I think it does. I should have some time to update with some suggested changes this week ;)

Thankx
