www.tabletopland.com, its been up about 4 days and had a bit of traffic from the sites in our network, this is the first design i've done from scratch and in full css/xhtml with no tables, its also the first design i've converted into wordpress which was an interesting experience. thanks a lot
For your header, I would use different photographs.. they look kind of low quality, also I would change the font style to something more fun. The background would be wider because it cuts off for wide resolution laptops..
The list under Other news should first of all have the h3 (i.e. Other News) outside the list and second have more margin-left to fit the margins of the content above. Remove the "Number Of Comments ::::::: " It's just unnecessary. Try to put the ads into rounded boxes to fit the rest of the layout. Remove the grey/beige background from the sidebar. Just the boxes is enough.
I disagree about the beige sidebar, i think it does need splitting up, the Number of comments ::::: will be replaced with something when I can think of something to put there, I will agree with your Other news statement and ill implement that today 8everything, im currently taking some high quality photographs for the logo but thanks
OK, but then give the beige sidebar rounded corners at the bottom. In my eyes it's simply one color too much.
