It's quite nice looking, but the text is very hard to read. Change the bg.

Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. I agree with the previous post. Also, the background is very slow to load.

Sorry I can't read the text. By "a forum i wrote" do you mean you coded it or do you mean you made the forum.

Well, I changed the background, didn't do much with the size but changed the color, and I changed the font color to black.

It's much nicer. But could do with some colour. 8/10

Tested in Opera with a 256K connection from Australia, 800x600 resolution. Site load time, approx. 6 seconds.

Your site has very nice elements, yet your design doesn't compliment this completely.

You may want to consider bringing out the blue you've used for some of the text (see css, 'links'), and possibly deriviations of that colour.

Also, consider the way you present your content. Possibly only give the last one or two diary entries to the visitor, so the first page isn't so long. Possibly look into an archive page.

This site has much potential Devin, keep up the good work :)

Thanks Glenn, I haven't had such a kind review in quite a long time. I appreciate the kind words, and I'll definitely implement some of your ideas. :-)

Much nicer now it's got some colour. :knockedou

Thank you. It looks like I could use some help on content, what might you recommend (besides filling up that right content bar) I do to add some depth/content to this site?
