First thing that I think you should change is the gradient bars that you use for various title backgrounds. They don't really fit in with the rest of the design which is mostly flat. I would probably go with a solid background color and border instead. The color choice that you have now (gray) looks good, so a gray background (a bit darker than the one in the news items) with a black border might work. The menu looks good, nice and simple. I would maybe add a little bit of more padding on the left hand side of the menu. Feels like it is sitting a bit to close to the browser edge at the moment. I'm also a fan of having the menu element that links to the current page displayed differently than the other menu elements. Reason for that is that the user will then have an easier time seeing where he is on the page. In Firefox on Linux the -= coming soon =- heading is a couple of pixels too low. In that area you've used <dl> to style the content, which I don't think is the right approach. I think would be better sematicly and easier to style it using <h..> and <ul>+<li> tags instead... The right hand side of the 'Links' section looks kind of strange. The content there doesn't seem to have any purpose and didn't make much sense to me. In your 'Friends' section the left column is to wide. It would be easier to link the real names with the nick names if they were closer together. Same for goes the information showed when you follow one of the "nick-links". Code wise there are a couple of things that could be improved. - The menu should be an <ul> list. Take a look at [url=http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/]listamatic[/url] for more information about that. - The different headings on the page should also be styles using the <h[i]n[/i]> tags, not <div> tags. The visual appearance might be the same, but the sematic meanings are not. A page using the <h..> tags are also more likely to get a good ranking in Google, since the bots will have an easier time figuring out what information on your page is important. - There are a lot of unclosed tags on your page. Remember that all tags should be closed, so either provide a closing tag or end the tag with /> eg. <br /> and <dd>...</dd> - You are also using the <br> tag way to much. It is a tag that should rarely be used. Most often the correct tags are <ul>s and <li>s. - Converting to XHTML1.0 wouldn't be abad idea either, but that might just be me... _________________________ "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 03-28-2004).] Loading...
