    I've been working on this site for sometime now and I haven't had the chance for any objective feedback on it yet. I know the site is a little unfocussed, I'll take care of that in a bit, but here's the things I'd really like feedback on.

    1. Navigation. Is it easy to get around in the site?
    2. Layout. Here I need to know if things seem to cluttered, too empty, ect.

    I'm partially worried about different screen sizes. I've made it so it fits perfectly in 800X600 and expands (hopefully) gracefully into larger screen sizes. Anything hard to read or seemingly in an odd spot.

    3. Ad placement. Do they look like they are in good spots for clicks? Suggestions to improve that would be nice.

    4. Content. I know some things are sparse (like my html guide I never seemed to get back to) but if you could look through the games and the few articles ect and give feedback it'd be nice.

    Monteux.

    1. Navigation
    Not bad and the ads placement is good ( match the color of your site )
    2. Layout
    I believe a nice header will be great
    4. Content
    This is the most important part. U need more contents. No offence.

    No use to put the html-valid button if it's not valid.

    The navigation is good.

    Personally, I don't like the "unfocused" content. Try not to be so general ("whatever I figure I can put on the web"), find a subject that you like and exploit it.

    Grr...the validation always seems to break when I least want it too.
    I'll try to focuss things more, and definately ad more to it.

    zinruss, I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by a good header, could you give me an example?

    The site did expand gracefully in my 1680x1050 Firefox browser. I'm not sure why, but the H2 heading links in your news section looked pixelly and unattractive on my screen, rest of the tex was fine. I liked the graphics, especially the marbled M. Yeah I found it easy to navigate, the icons were always on top, except on the IP info page, which I found unnecessary.

    It was the type of font used. I'll change it :) I've actually been meaning to get around to that for a while, but have been focusing on other things.

    It's pretty old-skool looking .. I don't fancy the background color but navigation issues are fine!

    Beige-green combination is good. However, the quality of graphics and consistency of the fonts could be developed better.
