    Hi guys,

    I've just finished bug-checking the design of a wordpress-based blog for a university society. It's meant to look professional, whilst keeping a university student's creativity.

    Something about the sidebar being too small still irritates me. PNG buttons aren't transparent in IE6 (gave up trying to find a fix).

    What do you think?

    Excellent site I must say. One thing though, add a contrasting background will improve things, although its not a must.

    Nice work.

    @ RovingCalypso - Thanks :)

    With the contrasting background suggestion, I feel it's difficult to look professional with a non-whitish background. Black wouldn't go nicely with the theme, unfortunately. But thanks for the review :D

    I'm not a huge fan of the icons.. I think the gloss is too much :) For your header, I would move your text to the right a bit.. along w/ the border.. to align it with the text in the header.

    Everything else looks good though

    your header is so big. it's pushing the real content to so footer. i think you must remove your header picture or icons from your theme

    @ Trichnosis - Are you on 800 x 600? The template was not made for any screen resolution less than 1024 x 768.

    @ 8everything - Thanks, I'll give it some thought.
