    I made this little site to showcase all the Microsoft marketing material.

    I had the domain so I might as well use it right?



    Check it out and tell me what you think, I also recommend taking a look at the Do! Do! Do! ads from Japan in the video section - gave me a laugh l0l ;)

    I like it.

    I'm especially glad you had the "Mad World" GoW commercial up there. I would have given you a neg rep if you missed that one :)

    A couple of notes:

    On the home page, you have a great big field of green on the right side. Any particular reason why there's nothing there?

    On the video and magazine ad pages, you should really take your alt text and put that below each item. I don't like having to hover over each one and wait for firefox to decide to show me the text before I know what each item is.

    On the video page you use a nice lightbox js to bring up the video, is there any reason why you're not doing the same for the photos on other pages? You might want to add that for photos so that you keep a consistent look and feel throughout the site.

    Just my $0.02

    I just noticed that the lightbox effect was not working on the images. I did have it on there but after I made some changes it seems to not be working.

    Im on it :)

    UPDATE:
    The javascript I was using for the videos was conflicting with the lightbox for the images.

    Fixed it up with a quick IF statement and they should both be working fine, any more problems let me know.

    Thanks.

    I really like the graphics! For the font type, I would use a smaller font w/ a bold on it.

    Yeah, I noticed at a friends house the font is rendered pretty crappy on crumby monitors.

    You are using hard sized HTML image dimensions for the client side thumbnail scaling from the full size pictures, which makes your thumbnails heavy and they may load for a long time over a slow line, it would be better to scale them on the server side so that the visitors would have to download light thumbnails instead of the heavy ones.

    Thanks agian, I really want to see how much traffic I can get through this site.


    I figure if I get enough links to it, the domain will pick up very well within SERPS.
