    Hey everyone, this is my latest site, its about 3 days old, it's pretty heavy image wise but I like the design, any feedback on how to improve the design, or to make it less image heavy so it downloads faster maybe? (a concern, i'm on broaband but i know many people aren't)

    but yeah, overall any feedback appreciated, want to get the layout / design nailed before i promote it too heavy, which is soon!

    thanks :)

    I like the design but it isn't 800x600 friendly.

    Also, in the middle there is a black horizontal bar going through the middle of the blog, covering up some content. It looks like the black bar behind your top nav links. The links at the bottom have dropped off the white back ground and into the footer, along with the myblog widget.

    I am using Firefox.

    1) The site took me a little less then 2 seconds to load.
    2) Very impressive design
    3) How about if you make the colors change when you scroll through the nav bar?
    4) Try to implement some ads.

    black bar going thru the middle?
    try refreshing, might have taken a while to load or something...
    and yeah, 800x600 is deffinatly old school in my mind and not worth supporting.

    Pretty nice design! For the bubble with the $ sign, I think it looks odd sticking out since it's quite small.. what I would do is enlarge the graphic.

    omg took long enough but i think i've fixed the firefox issue.

    yeah, i added the icon, i think when it was just text it was a little plain...
    in my original design it was just text, but wanted to put something there that would draw some attention to it in a way and make the logo more then just a font.

    The site looks great, the content seems cool too (not my field so I won't comment on the content per se).

    I did notice my browser complaining of some javascript errors tho?
