What do you think about this layout...
 
Completely CSS/XHTML (Free host, so I can't make it complete XHTML valid yet...but oh well.)

Anywhom, friendly criticism welcome:

(Please realize right now I just need tips/advice on the actual layout. I have no other pages up, and no real content to show off yet.)

Thanks,
JonM

EDIT: Currently only works in FF, I'll fix it for IE later, so that bug is found. Anything else you see is appreciated though. ;).

Yeah same here kinda. It looks slighty better in FF. I reckon good job for now - I probably couldn't code that lol. :D

hmm general consensus on colors and too simple. not a big deal to change ;). I'll add a bit more too it. What do you think it's lacking to make it so simple though? Maybe I should do lighter colors since this is a professional webblog (like maybe light grays, blues, and whites?

Thanks for all your input so far.

*edit* by to simple do you mean lacking content such as maybe a user login/logout funciton and some actual content?

It could generally mean just actual content, or both, really. Add some user interaction gadgets in or something, heh. :D

finally someone who likes the colors :P. i hope your being serious lol, cause i really do like them. they remind me of valve/steam.

who knows. i'll add in some content, some other gadgets, make some changes around the actual theme...and then see how the colors work.

GeeFuss 09-14-2007 09:32 AM
colors are everything on a site. and you have that down. i really do like them.

www.colourlovers.com

thats a great site to find colors that you like and that go well together if you are ever out of ideas ;)

what i get for getting free hosting haha

oh well, i want to finish this site and then purchase hosting + domain. or domain, and run it on my LAMP server ;). if i have all the design and coding done, then it's just a matter of keeping it up-to-date, which is easy to do. when you already have the site .com and the hosting, i personally can't work as hard, cause i just want the site to be done.

i think it looks quite a bit better from the first time i looked at it

Chrispy 09-16-2007 02:23 AM
Okay, I did a bit of playing around and I found your IE problem:

Code:
#content_right {
        background: #575656;
        width: 191px;
        float: right;
        padding: 2px;
}
Changing 191px to 190px fixed the problem.

I also made you your banner and a navigation button (I even know a code that makes it glow when you point to the button!):

The grey is the exact same as the grey in your blog and so is the green!

Anything else you need gimme some shouts. ;)

Chris :)

Thanks chris. i figured the problem was in the actual PX. but meh. anyways, adding your banner and bullet to the code :). they look good.
