I gave my Article Dashboard a makeover

Hello everyone,

I just gave my AD site a new makeover and I really like the way it is turning out. It is an Article Dashboard site, so I am limited on the amount that I can change. I still have a few little tweaks left to go, but most of the heavy lifting is done. I would like to get everyone's review if I could.

Thank you in advance,

Looking very nice. I found the articles themselves kind of hard to read with the white on dark gray though.

 

Though I'm not a fan of big headers (aside from personal blogs), I still like your layout. It's neat.

 

Looks pretty good.
I agree with the comment about the white text on gray background. Also, the type is rather small.
On the 'results' page (the page you go to after you click a main category) I think you could benefit from putting some space between the article headlines, not just the bullets.

Finally, you should change your logo unless you are looking for legal trouble from Maynard and the guys of A Perfect Circle:

 

It's good. Did you change the css only or you made other changes as well?

 

Try to make more contrast between the text and the background though

 

still waiting for it to load - I have broad band - still waiting for it to load. Sorry

 

I am really sorry about that - It has been doing that on and off all day today. I am still waiting to hear back from my hosting company. The main page and my wp blog work fine so I am guessing it's an issue with my Article Dashboard DB.

As far as the bullet thing, I cannot change that part Article Dashboard is encrypted.

Yes I was inspired by the A Perfect Circle cd cover but I don't expect to hear from Maynard and the guys any time soon, but if I do, I will change it.

There are built in template that you can change and the rest was css.

Thank you to everyone that has commented so far

 

I got a blank page.

 

I think your header is to big. other than that good job.

Hmm its quite clean but as others said make font more clear as its very tiring n stress eye while reading for long. its not eye soothing and catching. keep background color soft..

cheers.

 

I have got a blank page as well

 

I find it slow to load, maybe it's because of the size, I have an Article Dashboard site as well but only have around 15k articles in it. Be nice to have as many articles as you have

I have to agree with this >>>I found the articles themselves kind of hard to read with the white on dark gray though.<<< I placed both sites side by side and found mine way easier to read .... just the basic white background, black text and blue links. Your pages look better than mine but mine are easier to read.

By he way your header is slightly out of whack in Opera.
