    My site is up and running (sort of)

    Hi,

    I recently posted about a new concept I was working on for my site and now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    There are still a few bugs and errors, so be kind!

    I would like some feedback if at all possible?

    Also the forums are now up, but it still needs styling, new buttons and categories adding!

    Also a new Domain name is going to be purchased, as the current one is pretty lame.

    Thanks
    Danny

    Looks nice, bit slow loading sometimes.

    Some suggestions:


    • Move top menu to the red menu and/or simplify the options to single words.
    • Darken footer text and make link colour in the footer more contrasting.
    • Somehow make the clickable latest post title more obvious that it is a link.
    • Fix the search input box height - low hanging letters get cut off.
    • Show forum rules when clicking 'Forum' only once (cookies etc.)
    • Bigger margin and perhaps some kind of border between posts on the blog.
    • Remove "Continue Reading..." and place "... [More]" inline at the end of the post text.

    @Reag: Thanks you!

    @Shadiku: Again thank you for your kind comment.

    @Darky:

    Yeah that was an error on my part, well me being lazy, does it look any better now ?

    it looks fine for me, can I ask what browser your viewing the site on?

    Removing that later on... I didn't like it either, the "forums" link will take you straight to the forums.

    Was thinking of adding a simple border-bottom to each post on the homepage, will show you what it looks like later.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, if anyone else has the time to view and has any suggestion please post.

    A slightly modified Firefox 3.1b3 - stick the height up to 14px and it not only fits perfectly, but lines up with the same height as the search button :)

    Might be a different behaviour for the 2px padding - some browsers put it inside the box, others outside. My Firefox happens to put it outside (seems like a strange way to do it :/)

    Re: My site is up and running (sort of)

    Yeah thats what Im doing now, Everytime I make a post, I am going to add an option where I add an image that is related to that post, so like you did above, a Bioshock related Image, if I posted a WOW post, a WOW image would appear and so on.....

    I did it on the concept image I posted, a few weeks back and on there at that time it was some character from WOW, its does look cool.

    About the domain, I know someone with a domain called "gamerscodex.com" which I think he no longer needs. I'm not sure if he's selling it/giving it away or not, but if you're interested in that domain I could ask em about it.
