Not bad. I like the greyscale look.

- Why do you have the login thing twice? If a user isn't logged in, the form appears both at the top of the page and then again beneath the menu.

- Your header's a bit lopsided. Not literally, but in terms of content weight. All the stuff that fills it is over on the left, while the right's left empty.

- I would suggest adding just a little bit of padding to your divs. Like the news archive? The inidividual entry boxes could use a bit of padding so the text is not right up against the margin.

- If you have a fixed-width layout, making it centred is simple. Wrap the entire thing up in a container div, yeh? Something like this:
Code: [ Select ]
#container {
 width: 600px;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 position: absolute;
 left: 50%;
 margin-left: -300px;
}
  1. #container {
  2.  width: 600px;
  3.  margin: 0;
  4.  padding: 0;
  5.  position: absolute;
  6.  left: 50%;
  7.  margin-left: -300px;
  8. }


Voila, centred layout. This will work in both Firefox and IE.

Hope it helps, you're off to a great start.

I just reviewed the site you gave the link to in your first post. I referred to the old site in my post but I now see you have changed the site a lot since I reviewed it!

I like the new layout, I see it is now centered and I much prefer it to the old site. There! :)

ok thanks for the reviews..

what do you mean? if your asking about why it says "it happens" its about people forgetting their username, but i wil remove it because you mentioned it and some peoply might not understand what it is all about. Also, i will make another header, it needs to be wider and taller i think, also the blocks are a bit too blocky.

and the other review:
thanks, yes there are some useless things in the css, i need to strip off the things i was using to test the code to see if it worked, or do you mean something else?

Great work bozebo - your new site shows you have improved a lot over the current one. The colors are much better and your front page seems less cluttered.

I think the background image for 'Navigation' and 'Quick Login' could be improved on. Also I'm not sure what is 'Quick' about the Login? A Login is a Login surely? I guess is doesn't matter that much.

One strange thing I did notice (sorry if it has been mentioned already) but the background changed from dark to light a few times when I was navigating around - is that by design?
