I'd like a review of my site, if you will. A couple things first - it's not validated (do to affilate material and scripts) but I think generally it's okay. I'd particularly like info from people using browsers other than internet explorer (primarily firefox). Site - http://www.horrificus.com Thanks for any and all responses.
Sorry I'm using Internet Explorer so I can't tell you about firefox. Few things you could improve: -the right hand side links have a grey color and the background is grey as well so it makes it hard to read them. -the banner on the top coulb be improved and the logo doesn't great. Good luck
I checked it out in FireFox and looked fine although I also found the grey sidebar a bit difficult to read. You might want to try a stronger contrast there. I think you should also work on making your rant sound a bit more professional. Friendly is fine but there is a line where informal moves into amateur territory and from what I read there you seem to want to present a more professional tone than what you've achieved. Also unless you plan to fill in the blanks etc. within the next few days I would take off those elements (Links down side etc.) that make the site appear under construction. I think you have a great idea for an ezine but I'd try to get an issue up ASAP or people won't come back.
Okay, I'll work on the fonts and colors. auctionmonster - do you mean the red text in the top right that says "subscribe..."? I'll make that a brighter red I guess.
Pros: It's spooky and certainly conveys the mood you are trying to achieve. I like the art. Cons: Contrast, contrast, contrast. You need more of it. It's hard to see the logo, the sidebar links, and the links in the main body. I am not sure how much you expect to make from the Google ads on a site of this topic, but if you want any clicks at all, I would reconsider the placement of the ads. I generally like the colors in the ads though. Overall: You're almost there. A few touches here and there will make it easier to read.
