Could some people check out http://outdoorhighadventure.com/ and see if there is anything that needs to be fixed or suggestions to make it better? If you could explore the site and not just the home page. I want the nitypicky. Any small change could help a lot. Pictures load a little small? Advertisements annoying? Thanks!

Well, I think it looks great, except for the advertisements. Especially on the tips and tricks page. But it looks really good. Very earthy.

Header image just perfect for your domain or theme.

I think you should add border to your photos so that they can give more heavy and nice look.

For link text use deep brown colour as this will match background.

Overall nice look ... Three Stars for you.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I guess there aren't any major problems I need to look into. I'll give it some thought about the text font and color. Thanks for your help!

Not bad at all. I am not a big fan of small scaled websites, although it looks cool with it's style.

Ya I like the style as well. Even though I've come across a couple sites with the same theme... lol not cool. But I would like to change it up and give it some more width viewers don't have to scroll as much.

Nice design. My only suggestion is to place some of your articles on the main page. For each article just show part of it with a 'click more' button. This will make it more attractive, in my opinion.

i quite like the design and template, but the font style should be changed.
currently, it looks a bit too too retro for my liking.
also, make a nice logo for the site.
it's a nice clean design, and you got blended ads.
nice favicon too, love that.
anyway, good luck, keep it up.

Ok, you wanted nit-picky, so here goes:

1 - you need to validate your code, you've got a lot of errors, mostly stemming from not adhering to the rules of using an XHTML Doctype.

2 - The <font> and <center> tags are deprecated and should NOT be used in an XHTML document.

3- about that <font> tag -- it's horrendous code like this:
Quote:
<FONT face=Georgia size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B ackpacking the
Get rid of the nasty <font> tag, and use CSS for fonts and styling fonts. The "size=3" should be replaced by a % or em using CSS ,and spacing should be achieved NOT with a bunch of &nbsp; but with CSS margins and padding.

4 - <div align="right"> and <div align="center"> - alignment, again, belongs in CSS, not used like that.

5 - You do NOT need a table for your menu on the right side, use an Unordered List and CSS to style your menu. Your menu items, at least in my browser, are HUGE, and look pretty rough, they look out of place with the rest of the design. I would question the doubling of the menu on the left AND right too, unnecessary.

6 - Put the underlines back on your links, at least the ones that are in the body text. For accessibility reasons, you need to leave the underlines in links so people don't have to GUESS what's a link and what isn't.

7 - Tips page - get rid of the centering on the text, it makes text difficult to read - not good for readability - leave it alone as left-justified.

8 - I would also lose the ugly borders on the tables and style the table and cells with CSS - if you HAVE to use tables that is. I wouldn't.
