Site design is pretty much from scratch. Still a few bugs with the CSS. I haven't seen it in anything apart from IE 5 & IE 6 so if you are having any problems in other browser please (pretty please with sugar on top?) let me know.

Testing your site only in IE is really asking for trouble.

Comparing between Firefox (what I use) and IE, I can spot the following differences:
- The page is not centered in Firefox (use margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: something; for correct horizontal centering according to the CSS specs).
- The links at the top do not have the pop-up tooltips in Firefox.

Surprisingly, your site does look mostly okay in other browsers, but you should really get Opera and Firefox to test on.

Firefox also has a Web Developer extension with lots of handy tools, like real-time CSS editing.

I use public computers at university, so it makings testing … difficult. As such your feedback is important. I've added those changes you have suggested, so hopefully this will be an improvement. I know where I can test for mozilla & opera: but I am limited to those but will try and test site design on them later this week. Thank you again.

Looks fine in Mac Opera 7.52 but in Safari 1.2.3 the navigation area on the left is collapsed to only maybe 10 pixels so the nav text links overlap the page content on the right. You might also want to change your favicon.ico in your www directory unless you want to sport the drupal logo in your browser address bar ;)

Ok. More then a few bugs with my CSS! Looks like I am going to have to go back to scratch with the code. Thank you all very much for your feedback. It has been very informative!

Due to problems with last design. Have redone entire design, or rather revamped an old design. This one is a pretty blue, retro-ish theme based on a painting of mine.

Thank you. Funny how an old design looks better then the "new" one (the one that didn't work).

In FireFox (PR1) on Linux your "copyright" floats in the middle of the page... I noticed that it had a div class='magimenu' - you may need to give it it's own class.

Good work! and I enjoyed your site...

i like unconventional designs and its refreshing to see someone try to experiment with a theme. so tired of typical layouts.

well done.

Solid, interesting new design. I like the menu "icons" on the top - encouraging you to explore. Groovy, baby!

Definitely inspiration for getting my own journal/portfolio site up.
Nice work.

Straight off, I found it difficult to know what I was looking at. Having clicked about, it's nicely content-rich site. Reading a few posts and looking at a few pics, the design didn't impede me, so it must be good.
