Alright, layout # 2. I like this one a lot more. It usually takes me a few tries to get it right anyway. Some minor IE bugs so use FF etc if you have it. Only the front and article pages work atm. Just fixing the layout for IE and getting the CMS sorted. It is running on Textpattern if anyone cares to know.

Re: Revision

Excellent start my friend!

I was impressed with your methods and ideas when I saw your site first time round.

This, as I expected, is a superb step in the right direction.

Your code is pure poetry, indented and commented to perfection. This is how semantic markup should always look.

I can't wait to see the finished site.

Dan.

Re: Revision

I thinks it's great. Very much in-line with a personal website. Might want to bump the width down just a bit to better fit 800 wide. It's only like 40 or so pixels to wide.

Keep up the focus on CSS and XHTML.

Nice job! Look forward to seeing it progress

Re: Revision

The site is looking good. I have one criticism, which is the colors are (to my eye at least) really in need of help. The dark reds, greys, and the salmon are ok, but that brown ruins it. It turns the light grey text into light blue. (Browns are really hard anyway due to the way RGB renders them -- slight monitor variations really mess them up.)

It looks a lot better in 800x600 -- maybe you could just play with the border and body colors.

I hope this is helpful, I'm not trying to be picky.

Re: Revision

Excellent design... clean, simple and appealing.

Will your site support track/ping back?

I feel the same way . The brown is going to be replaced at some point, but right now my main focus is getting it built. Replacing any of the elements is simple enough with a new graphic or a quick edit of the css. I do appreciate your input on the color scheme. Colors have never been my strong point.

Not sure about it still but it is progressing nicely. A few minor things to incorporate/change but I would appreciate any constructive comments and a 3rd party perspective. I am keeping it somewhat low key on purpose but it can always use some improvement.

Re: Final touches

I think you're website is really great!
I am compelled to read it and spent 20 minutes reading thru a lot of your stuff. I commend you on your outlook on life and moving forward after things got bad. You and your son seem like great people, and I have a lot of respect for you.
Your web design skills are top notch and for a site of this genre is exactly the style you would expect.
Great design, great style of writing, great coding...

One cool dude

Craig
