    Hi,

    What do you think of the colour scheme of www.blogged-out.com

    Constructive critism preferred.

    Hello,

    Just got back from your site. The color scheme is definitley easy on the eyes. Over all it looks great! Wouldn't mind seeing the old black one just to compare though.

    Thanks,

    LOTM

    Links are blue to me but maybe the color should be changed a bit to stand out more.

    Sorry, you probably viewed the blog when I was playing around with the CSS file this evening. Have a look now that it's complete and let me know what you think now.

    Cheers.

    very nice, clean layout, preofessional design, i only see 2 problem

    1)this text

    — Next page »

    Copyright © 2006 Blogged Out!
    Powered by Wordpress | Original Theme by Headsetoptions

    at bottom of page is impossible to read w/o hurtin eyes



    2) you header graphic looks cheap, put something nicer

    those are just small things overall design would be a 9/10 IMO

    Lordofthemorning, its sort of live - not really launched it as I wanted to due to time. I'm starting to blog anyway! :)

    Timothy, I think I have sorted the footer colours now, it was the CSS file that I've been playing with - regarding the header, yes, it looks cheap, but it'll do until I have earnt some income on the site to pay for a professional graphic designer to do something better.

    It's nice use of colours, but it's also simple, many people like simple but creating a little complexity would be nice as well. Nice colors tho

    What do you mean by the sidebar isn't extending down the page? Please explain :) What browser are you using?

    I would prefer white background. Will give a nicer contrast.

    I quite like the header graphic its shows a bit more effort than just a photo.

    Unless you get a pic of someone at the top of Everest or simular I don't see how you can improve on a header to match your tag line.

    Is there any way you can get the right column to exted down with the rest of the page? It just stops halfway down your page (in Firefox not sure about other browsers), it reminds me of a fault I experience with IE on one of my site when I try and change the layout, and its driving me mad!

    Like the colour scheme though.

    I think the colors work well. Soothing shades of blue makes it easy on the eyes so users can focus easily on the content.
