i posted about my site a few months ago for some constructive criticism.but i would like to post again about it. the site is called getlaidny.com and was wondering on changing the background colors and font colors (as well as the fonts themselves) my knowledge of css is still very limited so i will stick to the basics for now. i've done research on which background colors to use and supposedly if i'm not using a white background with black fonts i should use a black background with white fonts (which is what i did for my site,besides black is new yorks colors). is this the right way to go? for the content on my page i really wouldn't want to use the plain old white background with black lettering so any recommendations on what other colors out there i can use for my background? help me out.any advice other than background color on the site would be helpful as well.thank thanks in advance
Hello, it's OK when you need to use black color on the background it easy for me to read but might be you need to change something for more attractive, you can research from this categories http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/main/category/C17/ that the website theme similar with your website. Cheers ^^
There seems to be an "eye adjustment" moment for me, where I have to adjust them, but to me it is fine. Draws attention to your text I think
Its looking pretty good, but maybe some css styling, adding some padding to your nav items maybe, and just kinda spacing out a little bit more would give it a better feel. Also, maybe play with using a different font?
sweet,thanx for the compliments.still learning html and css.which brings me to my next question.how do i take off the underline on all the nav links? i know it's css but how?
just add this to your stylesheet a { text-decoration: none; } Code (markup): what this does, is, to any "a" element, apply the styling "text-decoration:none" which includes underlining.
You could say it's easy on the eyes... but there's A LOT of work that needs to be done if you want it taken seriously. I'd say you're about 5% of the way there.
I agree with robertexs, if you want your site to be taken seriosuly you should start by commiting yourself to learning CSS. Try going to http://www.w3schools.com or asking people on this site to help you learn CSS.
