I know, I know, the site has been around for a while, now. Last night I finished some background work and fixed one or another annoyning CSS bug, and it's just become tradition for me, to seek out critique. Mind heading on over to http://www.jluster.org and telling me what sucks? Don't hold back, I really want to have one usable, clean, not fancy but nice lloking, site. And I suck royally at fashion and design. Clothingwise, the choice is black, for websites you're my critics. Thanks.

The first thing that jumps out at me (in a bad way) is the line spacing. Too much white space in there. I'm looking at it with Firefox on a Windows XP machine.

Overall, site looks decent.

Better, but maybe just close it up a wee bit more? Maybe 2 more pixels or even just 1? Sorry, you said you wanted to hear tough criticism.

jluster.org is a great showcase. Not because of its looks, but because it is different and because it showcases interesting modules (eg. Technorati integration, Flickr integration).

(The recent comments block is pretty useless because the comments' titles are pretty useless.)

Ok, autohid the comments block. I like it, but that's mostly because I get crazy comments on old stuff every once in a while, and subscriptions don't do me well.

Your site has a nice design in my opinion; however, I did notice a problem on the front page.

In the title of the stories, it almost seems like an image is to be there. I can click to the full story in the white section of the page (far away from the title itself). I could see this as annoying if someone just wants to click the white of the page to select the page to activate scrolling. ¿Is there to be images there that are not loading?

Otherwise it is a very good-looking site. Puts mine to shame.

Yeah, that's the curse of hX elements being blocks. I guess I can work around that. Let me try. And, no, there are no images, just hX being weird.
