The site still looks the same to me. I even refreshed the browser thinking it might be cached. Oh well, that's not a bad thing. Also, if you want the logo to be linked, maybe you could put an image map so that just the "Pushing Through" portion of the page would link back. Just a suggestion though. Take it or leave it as you wish.

Try refreshing a couple times. It took me three times for it to grab the new css.

Though, you might already have the new css and not noticed. It's just a subtle difference on flat screen monitors.

Hey Ashes, I was checking out your site revisions and they look great. I just wanted to toss in a comment on your portfolio section, more of a caution. You've included your address information. If this is your actual address, and unless you're comfortable with posting your address online, I would remove that basically for security/privacy reasons. A lot of weirdo's out there. As my father works in a bank fraud dept. and I've heard horror stories of internet stalkers, I'm always cautious when posting addresses or date of birth information online. I usually use my office address whenever an online "stranger" requests it. Just my rant! :wink:

Hmm. I wasn't really concerned that much. Not a lot of reasons for someone to stalk me.

I'll think about getting a PO Box. Thank you for the warning.

I was just looking into your code a little bit and noticed that.. on your board, you are hiding people's IP's but not in the source. As I think it is important to protect people's privacy, I think that you need to either display a TOS or something somewhere that tells users their IPs are being logged and publicly sent (although hidden) or, (and preferably) you could use very simple php to block it out so that it would only display if you were logged in or, even more simply, it could just require something in the url like ?pass=whateverthepasswordwouldbe
ex:
Code: [ Select ]
<div class="hide">**.***.***.***</div><div>User: Message</div>

The code that makes up the tag board was the first thing I ever coded in php, so it's extremely simplistic.

I've actually been thinking about having it hidden now that I know more. However, I haven't done so, because it'd be a tad difficult now to go back in and change all the tags, so they wouldn't be displayed.

I will add a clause to the T&C about it though.

I like the site, but the banner seems a little deep to me. It takes up about a third of my screen

what resolution are you at because I tested it at everything other than 800x600 (which shouldn't be used any more really) and it was fine.
