Im redoing my personal website and got the basic design up. I thought I would get some opinions and see if anyone has any suggestions... mainly with the layout, design, and colors.

Im still working on it tonight, so if you get on and something looks out of place, let me know, but more than likely, I am changing something at that moment

NOTE: there are some empty (and missing) pages because I had a glitch and accidentally deleted some stuff.. also, I don't have it optimized for IE yet so make sure to check it out in FF

Anyway, here is the site.. let me know what you think:

Thanks

Sam

Thanks again...

anyone have any suggestions or ideas to improve the site? I have some ideas to add some content to the site, but Im wondering what kind of content everyone else has on their own personal site(not personal portfolio or personal money making website)

I would optimize it for both IE and FF. If it doesn't work in both usually it means something is wrong with the code, and right now, it looks fine in IE so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Overall it looks pretty cool. It looks like you got some readers, and I like the logo. Good color combination, and really well designed.

I would get rid of the scrollbar in the upper left corner though. It gets really distracting.

Thanks for the review.... part of the reason for the IE stuff is to hopefully encourage more people to use firefox... Im sure there is a better way, but Im just doing my part! lol

The site looks great! I love the color scheme. One little thing: the logo needs to be clickable to go to your homepage.

Loving the new skin. Dark and simple, just like how a blog should be.

I chuckled at the choices for the poll on the homepage though

The banner looks great-

whatever Flash you have crashed my Firefox 2x though
as for content....
I would maybe put the blog entries on the main page and maybe add a block with your favorite links or something (just to add something )

the light grey fading blocks are kinda dull- I personally would like to see either one of those greens more utilized instead and have them fade into the background.

Looks really nice kinda blogger albumy socialy friendly feel to it as a kinda portal to your different places on the net. Did you hand code this yourself from scratch or was it a template you have edited? and i see that you "decided not to build this site to support Internet Explorer." Or was that not you? Anyway looks good as a kinda homepage you should build some live features into like mail news games and have it as a homepage. Then of course you could get really brave and have an option to change the whole colour or shading/tones. But thats just a 0.02c idea chucked into the air.

Thanks for the review. The only flash I used is for the video player. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for the review. I did the design myself, but the site is built on Drupal 6, which is why it has the portal feel to it. I actually wanted to stay away from the portal look, but thats just the direction I ended up going. I used Drupal because I wanted something a little more than a blog, but it had to be easy to add content.

It looks really good and simple which is nice. Just worry about fixing it for IE and you will have a very nice website.
