Hey there,

I've created a new web site to host my role playing game tutorials. I've been trying for a clean, simple look, trying to focus more on the content than on fancy stuff. I've viewed it in FireFox, IE 7 and Chrome with no problems. Let me know what you think.

Meets you requirements, simple and functional, looks fine. My only suggestions are to maybe soften the colors a bit, but that's personal preference and very easy to changes. Also, a big custom on websites is to have the image with the logo of the site be a link to the homepage, like the DIC logo in the upper left. Makes navigation a bit easier sometimes. Just a matter of sticking the <img> in an <a> biggrin.gif

EDIT: if you wanted to, you could make the links in the text stick out a bit more by changing the color a bit.

I'll check out softening the colors and like you said since it is all done with CSS not really a big problem. smile.gif

Hmmm.... Never thought of making the image a link to the home page. Again, good suggestion and an easy fix. smile.gif

That blue background is a bit 'sickening'. Try something a bit lighter and something that eases in with the purple. smile.gif

The dark or light blue? I'll look at changing the dark blue.

That looks better now, with the color intensity change.
