    Barrys Blog

    I know the posts look kind of smashed up, I don't know how to fix it :(
    But other than that, it's good or what?
    Should I offer the template for public download or keep it private?

    blog looks good..isnt the posts thingy supposed to be in the center? or is it designed to be stuck up left??

    i think its always better..if viewers dont have to scroll horizontally..

    Interesting. I don't have to scroll left or right.
    I wonder what's wrong?

    Header and rest color looks fine to me
    just the body part is too wide you gotta reduce it

    I would add a lighter grey background behind the links you have on the right.. so it doesn't look like it's connected to the background.

    Not bad Barry, just real simple. Also, the reason why people have to scroll horizontally is because of their resolution. I use a very wide resolution, 1440, so I don't have to scroll horizontally. Centering the blog wont change this, you need at adjust the width in your style.css file. If you're still having trouble, PM me or something and I can try and help you. - Kevin from AIM. ;)

    the site is loading and I do have a scroll in the bottom, my resolution is set to1152x864. Maybe you forgot to put the width and height for one of the images on the site and that results to scrolling

    one more thing I don't like is that for example the fonts/sizes for this 2 "news" differ
    One of the better chain emails I have ever got… and You can’t create a folder named “con” on Windows. MS has no answers…
    it makes header to read, as I kinda get used to one font and then I have to start getting used to another font size to read quickly

    this graphic
    [​IMG]
    since you have changed its sizes its almost useless to have it on site as its not readable

    this one is the same also
    [​IMG]
    even if you put this photos, at least give a link to the original sized pic so its readable and underestandable for your users

    the red circles with arrows on right, they don't go with the design, I don't see Red anywhere else than that

    also in the TITLE why only BARRY'S? where is BLOG? you don't need it?

    give some description and keywords in the META's :)

    Overall good project, nice design and

    Wish you luck in your projects
