Default Completely revised site - comments please? - 11-08-2005 , 04:27 PM






So, I took all the comments you all had on my website into consideration
and came up with the following:

http://dusk-metal.kicks-ass.org/site/

Comments again?

I know there still are a few oddities when going to a narrower viewport,
especially with images and forms. Any tips on how to solve them would be
appreciated.

I also tried to come up with a way to have the bg-image of the site
always centered horizontally, but didn't succeed. Anyone?

Oh yeah, the site now completely validates as strict 4.1! 8-)

Yeah, not at all bad for a metal band site.

The links in the main text are very hard to distinguish. A light
underline (border-bottom: dotted 1px #555 or something like that would
make them more obvious.

(june 2000) -> (June 2000)
splitted up -> split up
existance -> existence
much chicks -> many chicks
februari 2005 keyboardplayer -> February 2005 keyboard player
open the bass player position -> the bass player position open

It's so dark no-one will notice...

body { background: #000 url(image.jpg) no-repeat 50% 50%; }

background: #000 url("img/bg.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
The first center is horizontal positioning; the second is vertical.

- It's still too dark. If I looked at it at midnight with all the lights
out, brightened the monitor to max, I could read it, maybe.
- You can reduce your markup a bit by using an unordered list (<ul>) for
the navigation. Use list-style-image to specify the "bullet", and
display:inline to have it list horizontally.
See <http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/>.
- Links effectively disappear on a:hover. I suggest a *bright* red on
mouseover.
- The in-body links are not discernibly different from the rest of the
text. A brighter color or an underline/border-bottom would give a hint. (I
have link underlining turned off.)
- There is no Home link.
- I suspect there is a graphic below the navigation. True?
