Itallic is ment to draw attention to special words or phrases, not to be used on entire paragraphs of text. It is easier to read normal text, so you should stick to that. To make the text more readable I would also increase the line-height a little bit, 120%-150% (of the font size) is usually a good value. Your page is only abit too wide to fit on a 800x600 display. To ensure that those using that resolution don't have a HSoD you should make the main-area either liquid or 20px thinner. The colors and layout are pretty good. There isn't much content there now, so I can't really say how it will look with more content added. Have you though about how you're going to implement a menu on the page? Right now there isn't much need of one, but as you get more content you'll need one. If you want people to visit your page you should add some more content to it. Right now there aren't many reasons to visit your page. You've got an online journal, but it is hosted on another site. So the first thing I would do is to move that journal to my homepage. That way people reading the journal will visit your page instead of reading it through the other site. What type of content you should add to your page after that is up to you... Code wise your page could do with a lot of improvments. First of you lack a [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/460]Doctype[/url], which is a big no-no. You've also gotten a couple of <font> tags spread around the page, which is even worse than forgetting the Doctype imo. Those <font>-tags should be removed at all cost. Another little thing is that your headings should be inside <h.> tags. That way you can style them through the <h.> tags instead of using <b>++ like your doing now. Another good thing with using <h.> tags is that search engines will have an easier time seeing which part of your page is important so they can index your site correctly. To get a better idea of how you should code the page you should take a look at the [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/90] :FAQ: CSS[/url] The code issues aren't that important to the non-programming folks, but you should try to keep the page standard compilant so it will have an easier time being rendered correctly on most browsers as well as getting better rankings with search engines. You should also add the artists name (with link to his deviant art page) to the image description on your front page. Right now you only refer to him as 'artist', but you never mention his name. Another little things is that having your mail in plaintext on the homepage is a sure way to get lots and lots of spam. You should either add some _NO_SPAM_ thing to it, make it an image or use a server side language if you want to avoid being picked up by the spam-bots. _________________________ "There are 10 kinds of people; those who know binary, those who don't and those who start counting at zero" - [url=http://www.golden-ratio.net]the Golden Ratio[/url] - [This message has been edited by Veneficuz (edited 01-12-2004).] Loading...
