Hi there,

I've been very busy doing a lot of things with my web site for my role playing game tutorials. I'm hoping to get some opinions on the new look. I've been designing it so that it is simple, clean and search engine friendly. I've looked at it in IE7, Firefox, Opera and even Chrome. There are a few minor differences in the different browsers but I think I've achieved my goal. Even have a favicon now. smile.gif

Let me know what you think.

It loosk nice in IE 6, but no favicon (such fun) smile.gif
The "Eyes of the Dragon" drop shadow gets cut off, so I would suggest aligning the image to the right, that should make it look a little more natural.

Thanks for the feedback. smile.gif

I'll align the image to the right in the morning on my web site, just checked it now locally and it does look better. Right now I think I should really get to bed, gotta get up in five hours! laugh.gif

The color of the Eyes of the Dragon was taken from the game actually. I was trying to get the links to match the color of the headers. I'll look at that in the morning too. Thanks for the feed back. smile.gif

I've made the changes suggested. Since purple and green go together well, and I used green in the game for the title, I made the links in the menu green. The links on the page are still the same color, I'm trying to have them match the color of the h1 tags.

Does anybody think that making them green, like in the menu, and having the roll over purple, like the header and the menu look a bit better?

I like your site. Very easy to navigate and the colors do look good together.
I've never tried XNA. If I ever decide to... i know where to look. biggrin.gif

Thanks again for the feedback. It will not be a hard fix to do that. Do you think a color other than the blue on the outsides might look better?

I just previewed those colors. The hover looks great. The link is a little too dark to read. I also bolded the font. I think I'm going to go with the white for the link and #D70096 for the hover.
