    Doesn't look very good to be honest mate, in firefox the top image breaks (with whitespace)

    The black buttons, and dictionary style layout really don't seem to go with the 'cartoony' icons that you have on there!

    Whitespace in header needs to go, remedy is a to repeat the header in background for header. Images like submit etc are kinda grainy on the edges.

    But it looks better than the default phpld theme :)

    The bevelled buttons need to be antialiased. And the overall look, especially with those buttons, is quite retro, as in typical for about 5 years ago.

    you need a background to compensate for your header since the top right side floats all the way to the right, leaving white space between the left and right.

    get a nice little logo, in place of the white space and you domain name at top. that will help a lot.

    getting a custom logo always help, that's why am getting a logo made by a professional!:D

    It looked good in my eyes. But a site map could have reallu helped. I'll also change the template of my directory in few days' time. But need lots of $$$ for that:( as my demands are quite weird to both designers and coders.

    Remove the whitespace in header.
    I dont like the buttons as well.

    Next time, try to build something of your own.

    lol .. he reminds me so much of my early days when i ripped Jamey's template thinking i did a very good job because i changed the images and made the simple template look very 3-D but i used Jamey's CSS and all the stuff


    He is doing the same thing... i can tell by looking at it...

    You missed it because he had the same category structure as GreenShade he just removed those borders around but u kno wat he forgot

    http://www.zihh.com/Computers/ << Ahh thts just like greenshade

    http://www.xhii.com/Internet/ << look at greenshade one


    Also take a note of the featured listings ... .He seemed to remove all the images in the background as green shade have here http://www.xhii.com/Internet/Web_Directories/ << u see the title of featured link's background


    look here

    http://www.zihh.com/Computers/Web_Directories/ << he just removed the background but didn't realize the fact that the title still stays there like some stupid thing looks completely irrelevant.


    Also look at his featured listing heading <<< u see the arrow image sayin featured listing in both



    Search button ... sayin Browse Directory he just removed the mouse and search bar and junk same thing ..... copy to copy


    and wow look at the regular listing exact same wow didn't he copy (How can u miss this one?)


    look at the footer he is just changing colors and adding images ... and making it his own but he is ripping GreenShade template which is why i think he deserves a Red Rep from me...


    and i dont know you personally but Jamey thought me how to make templates because i ripped his once ... so i'll return his favor by doing it to someone else.

    I will teach you how to code if you promise not to ripp anyone else's template again.

    let me know if you are ready.


    My msn / aim / yahoo messenger is in my profile just click on my username and click view profile.



    Hope you learn soon ... (The Faster the better)
