    Hey Everyone,

    I've been building a site for my friend. It isn't totally functional yet, I'm just looking for expert critiques about the design.

    Mainly, what we're doing right (makes me feel somewhat competent).

    And .. . . What sucks and how we should change it. I can take it, since this is still early, and i haven't married the design yet.

    I really appreciate any advice.

    Guy Talk

    Thanks a bunch.

    Leo

    Looks good. Maybe a better-looking header will do.

    I added the subscription modules in the top right hand corner. For us techies, it is obviously rss or email subscription.

    However, i kind of wonder if this paradigm is too assuming that everyone will understand. Maybe I should use another paradigm? Any suggestions?

    My friend said possibly just stick an text box for emails and a button that says subscribe to it. people who use rss will know rss, so i should focus on making the email simpler and more accessilbe.

    Thoughts?

    hey everyone. I've done some major updates to look and feel over the past couple of weeks (much more contrast being one of them). I'm out of ideas on what I could improve on.

    Anyone have any ideas what works and what sucks?

    I like the site alot man !

    About that subscriber thing: did you make that rss+email combo yourself or is that a widget from feedburner? I can find the rss widget, but that combo ( including # of subsribers) is very nice. Can you tell me where you got it?
