Poke at my new site layout, please

[Brian Reed]

I spent the evening dicking about with my website instead of, you know, working. If you could, please poke about and make sure it's all functional. I'm not seeing straight at the the moment and I'm going to bed for 4 hours or so.

Thanks.

Ahhh, sorry misread.. thought you said poke FUN at my new site layout..

Anyways.. apologies for nitpicking :P

Works fine under Firefox.. the right column doesn't quite line up at the top with the other columns, but that's a relatively minor fix. The Ms Marvel image also breaks the column (doesn't fit inside it)

Also, I'd recommend changing the hover color for the tabs. Right now, when you're on the default page (HOME), HOME is dark grey. Which is also the same color for when you hover over a tab, which can be confusing (not really, but it's just aethetics and what not)

Other suggestions:
Make the date for news pieces larger or bolder.. same with the categories.. if you're going to list what's availible, might as well point it out to nab the curious people who will click on that group for more of that type news.

Not sure if its intended as such, but the search box below SEARCH is right up against the button. It's also redundant having SEARCH at the top, and then below on the button. I'd ditch the top one if possible or change it to something like "SEARCH THE SITE" or change the button to "Begin search" or something like that.

Finally, at the bottom the "redesign thanks" note doesn't stay in the red border when you resize the window. Meaning if I shrink up the window horizontally, the text wraps but the red border doesn't expand.

Oh, and it'd be cool if the logo at the top of the page was bigger :P

/hopefully not banned from the board now :D

Thanks. I've touched on some of it, the rest is beyond my sleepy brain to grasp at the moment. But things overall look a bit sleeker than they were an hour ago.

looks good. I'll never visit it again.

Looks good in Safari! Sweet site. Bookmarked.

Other than that sidebar, it looks pretty good to me. I check your site out once in a while and it's been a while. The first thing that jumped out at me were the words New Secret Treyarch Project.

Finally figured out why the Ms. Marvel picture wasn't working. Silly little detail in the code that was popping it out of place.

Now I have to remember how to make it so things don't re-position themselves when the browser window is re-sized.

Cool! Looks/works great to me!

And one final nitpick if you'd like it :D

I'd change the color of the boxes that frame each story, so it separates them a bit. Right now, it's gray, but maybe red to carry the top header colors throughout the site?

Bookmarked!

I was thinking about that, but I hadn't dug into it. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Added some color. Things look pretty now.

Well said. Though I think for me high school was like bootcamp for homelessness. I remember partying just as much in college, but high school partying was so utterly wreckless.

Nope, but some of my readers are.

Some of my customers are in prison I'm sure, but you don't see me running around in an orange jumpsuit.

Besides, I didn't see you say you made a MySpace because your fans were crying out for it.

Admit it, you love MySpace, it's your favorite! Why don't you just marry it!
