Your turn to help me...

OK guys, I worked with KC and Guest to get this whole siggy competition up and running, and I don't ask for much in return (other than +karmas :D ), but I'd like to get some feedback on a few things. First, my blog. I've went through six layouts before I got to this one, which, so far, I like the most.

Anything - logo, layout, colors, smell...all of it is appreciated.

I'll also be working on a layout for a modern design talk forum (print ads, web design, etc.) that I'd like some C&C on later, as well as my project for the 2006 PA Middle School Computer fair. These will come a bit later.

Thanks guys!

*P.S. - 'jenius' is purposely misspelled...*

If you feel the need to add that comment, perhaps you shouldn't use that line. A joke like that should be something that 99% of your visitors 'get' right away.

Also, I don't like how the blue line above 'about the big d' has the gap. Perhaps that graphic is just a beta, but I would fix that.

I'm not a huge personal fan of fixed width content, but I understand sometimes it's a necessary evil.

Besides that I like it! Unique AND easy to read are a hard combination to perfect, well done.

Thanks for the quick replies...the bars are supposed to have a gap because they are at the top of the transparent black boxes that you can't see very well - a beta graphic. I'm keeping that slogan, BTW - I'll be incorporating things in the blog to make it easier to understand.

P.S. - the text is "dummy text". www.lipsum.com

I agree with 'Beauty'...I'm waiting to get my iMac, after which I'll buy the software, after which I'll get a Wacom tablet, after which I'll take a nap. For now, I'm going to Sharpie 'Beauty' and scan it in at 600dpi/Greyscale - I'll do the same for 'portfolio' - this image will be the main image for my new website on the portfolio page.

I was planning on making a 'Modern Design Talk' forum...we'll see how that goes next year.

P.S. - abc006, I think it would be funnier if you avatar read 'This is not a signature' and vice versa for your siggy. :p
