clonetrooper9494 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have come a long way in my opinion from my original site. I actually made a layout I liked, and then sped through making an account system. So now, I have redone my website(switched domains/hosts) and now I want to know your opinions on my new layout.My site is now here: http://clonedrone.com/ and I wanted to try out a new idea of a floating menu, but it only floats on a page with a scroll bar. so go here to see the menu in action: http://clonedrone.com/~clonetrooper9494/blog.htmlWhat do you think of the new menu? Is it too distracting to have those bars at the top and bottom of the window? What color suggestions do you guys have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have a personal dislike for pages with multiple scrollbars lined up next to each other, or even within 100 pixels or so. Maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetrooper9494 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Problem solved.I was just testing out a long blog post to make sure that overflowing worked correctly. I might remove the overflowing because I takes something away from the post, what about the borders? are they ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akirira Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That's quite good but you can do better !In your style, when you can change 0px by 0 because 0px, 0em, 0% are equal. That isn't important but I prefer say it.About your menu, to my mind, you should use a list tag(s). With this solution, the span is useless because you just have to define ul and li.About the layout, (this is the main subject), I don't like the horizontal scrollbar... but it is good. What colours will you use ? I ask the question because the colours and how you will use them can improve or not the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetrooper9494 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 horizontal scroll bar? Are you using a mac or are the blog posts to wide? I will change the 0px to 0 when I can.is my site too blan looking? I have blue links... :)but I feel as though it needs more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 My using a Mac should not excuse an icky scrollbar. :)And, yes, it's a bit bland. Even going all black could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetrooper9494 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'll add some color, and un-widen(new word!) the blog posts.Oh, the dreaded IE - when I use IE to view my site, the Header and Footer don't work...I also changed all of the lengths from px to %s so now the page will work better on all OS'sAnd about colors, you said converting the site to black? I had that on my last design, I might do that again, but I don't know... maybe I'll add an option so you can switch back and forth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Your permalinks shouldn't have spaces in them, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetrooper9494 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have changed the font and the submit buttons(probably can't tell that though). If you have any other suggestions, please post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
