I already know of the problems in my banner.
So please don't say anything about it.

Tell me what you think of my website layout! I have a link in my signature but here's one that goes straight to my website. Click Here.

Thanks!

The background would look good if it was black or dark blue. The background color for the content would look good if it was white or light light blue or the same blue that's in the top right of the banner.

Another thing that irks me, you don't have to put the words "Content" or "Navigation" on top of the content and navigation section! It's obvious and if people don't know the content area from the navigation area then they're clearly stupid.

Another thing to fix is, make the content and navigation section the same width as the header plus align the layout more centered. Also the scroll bars on the navigation is annoying. What you should do is make background from the layout. Crop out a small piece of the content and navigation area, use it as a background and set it to repeat-y (Example, background-repeat: repeat-y). Confusing? Yeah I know, it's hard to explain.

Another example! This was what I was talking about!

then you open your css and add it as a background like this:
background-image:url("url here");
background-repeat: repeat-y;}

So it would go smoothly don't put a border at the bottom making it look like a box and make it run off the page. You may know how to do that but just in case I explain it. Scroll bars are just annoying. If you need a live example then look at my layouts

If you don't mind me mentioning something about the header itself. Just because you're going to use it for a layout, where's the site name? Or is it for visitor use? If for visitor use then add Johnny's name on there or his character's name.

Wow I hope that helped!

I have his character's name in the top right corner. It's kinda faded out though.
I was going to make it for vistor use but now I have some editing to do.

cool

Yeah I have too but for some reason it always irk me but it's just my opinion but I've seen layouts that it looked good with it. I guess it's how you do it.

Everyone says they're annoying (the scrollbars) but I don't see it. I understand completly.

It's annoying to me because I like to see everything at once. It's okay sometimes like using it on myspace. It looks alright on website too sometimes. If you use scroll bars at least use iframes

I made that. lol weird, how you found that. lol wow..........I've never had that happen before. hahaha!

I crop it out from your layout lol.

ok, I'll check it out after school! thanks! :)

Thanks

Oh okay, make it a little more obvious

I was going to make it for vistor use but now I have some editing to do.

Good luck
