Your overall layout is actually rather nice, but the top title image, and the background do not blend together at all (But then again you might just be working on it ) There’s only one thing I could complain about...and that’s mostly due to personal taste. Gray? I’ve always disliked gray. When I think of sports I think something that’s fast and fun. A swirl of colors rather then just the monotone of using gray. Red and yellow look good, but then you throw in that blue and it throws me off.

Like I said it’s more personal taste, so good job on the whole.

well, your news is obviously generated by either php-nuke or whatever else, so you'll have to put in the code into your settings, but for example:

This is what you currently have:

Code: [ Select ]
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
 <tr>
  <td><a href="modules.php?name=News&new_topic=3">
  <img src="images/topics/Minne.png" border="0" alt="Minne" title="Minne" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10">
  </a><font class="storycontent"><img src="http://www.smallsports.com/koren.jpg" length=200 width=300">
  <br>The Seattle Seahawks are playoff bound. Tkae my word. I am saying it from the start. Its not
  because I am from Seattle but I have this little gut feeling in my tummy.
  </font>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>
  1. <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
  2.  <tr>
  3.   <td><a href="modules.php?name=News&new_topic=3">
  4.   <img src="images/topics/Minne.png" border="0" alt="Minne" title="Minne" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10">
  5.   </a><font class="storycontent"><img src="http://www.smallsports.com/koren.jpg" length=200 width=300">
  6.   <br>The Seattle Seahawks are playoff bound. Tkae my word. I am saying it from the start. Its not
  7.   because I am from Seattle but I have this little gut feeling in my tummy.
  8.   </font>
  9.   </td>
  10.  </tr>
  11. </table>


Try putting this as the 200x300 img tag instead:

Code: [ Select ]
<img src="http://www.smallsports.com/koren.jpg" length=200 width=300" align="left">


Ok, as for the banner, I fixed it all up for you, download this and put it up: http://tierra.gnuk.net/minnelogo.gif

I had to crop off the top of his head because it was already cropped a little on the top from the original, so I just made it look like he's only in the back of the image.

Well, I really think you should do that AND make all news pictures smaller than the 200x300... maybe more like 100x150 and if the user wants to see a bigger picture, have the thumbnail link to the bigger picture.

yeah, I like that better... again, this is all up to personal preference, so it's completely up to you whether you want to do it or not, but I personally think it looks better that way (and it'll stand out a lot more if done to all the posts).

well, I meant just link the 100x150 image to the 200x300 image, but if you want to do that:

Code: [ Select ]
<img src="mysmall.jpg" onMouseClick="this.src=='mybig.jpg'?this.src='mysmall.jpg':this.src='mybig.jpg';" align="left">


I think that'll work... that's off the top of my head...

well, if you were to change it, maybe go down to 10, but it looks like news gets posted often enough that maybe 15 is fine.
