I can never get decent feedback from my site's visitors anymore, so here I am.

Booo.

Some of the pages are kinda screwy, but I'm working on it. Thoughts?

^For the font-size/line height ratio, do you think the line height should be shorter or higher? Once I change the text, I'll probably change that too. I set it at a high number so people wouldn't be straining to read the tiny text.

I'm going to look more into sIFR. I actually tried it out when I started coding this, but I couldn't get it to work. I found a page on embedded fonts that seemed fairly straightforward...The only problem was that it hasn't been updated since 2001.

Tomorrow will just have to be a research and test day with this. The only issue I think I'll pass on fixing this time around is the banner size. I could get it up about 100px with some minor code changes, but any more than that would involve going back into the PSD. My banners are always too huge. If only my site didn't need content. D:

But yeah, thanks for all the feedback. 'Tis greatly appreciated.

As it is right now, a shorter line height. I usually try to keep line height within 4 - 7 pixels of font size.

For sIFR, the documentation is very well-written, and goes over pretty much everything you'd need to know, including Flash versions. For CSS embedded font, check with the author to see if the free version of the font is licensed for @font-face embedding. If it is, use it like this:

CODE

@font-face { font-family:'Font Name'; src:url(/path/to/font.otf) format('opentype'); }

Then to use it, just pick the property you need to apply it to:

CODE

h1 { font:weight ##/## 'Font Name', 'Another Font'; }

Just make sure you also list fall-back fonts for browsers that don't support @font-face. IE does support @font-face; they just need to be .eof files.
