Go there to see it!
I like it.

hmmm, that's much better than your previous ones.
the placement of the 'shenae grimes' is a bit strange, as well as the color. i dont know, it looks more like a divider between the two pics than a word itself. maybe you want it to work that way.
lol, and your black top border is thinner than the sides, your bottom border is a bit thicker.

[funride]

I meant to do those things, lol.

[datass]

you mean, you meant to have uneven border thickness?

[funride]

Yeah, that wasnt supposed to be a border as I originally made the layout, lol.

[Mikeplyts]

This is definitely a nice improvement. All I suggest is that you make the borders' widths even, maybe make the background pattern a bit of a lighter blue, and change up the font you used on the header (like Christy said). I'm thinking maybe like a white text set to soft light and then a faint drop shadow would look kinda nice. Otherwise, great job.

[funride]

Oh just a thought, did anyone notice the little Shenae's in the big Shenae's clothes?

[HeartOfPandora]

The [lack of] typography is making my eyes bleed (and also my brain hurt).

Also, try higher quality images - her tights look absolutely horrendous.

oh. yeah.. i just did

terrible terrible terrible
what were you thinking?!

the layout is nice, however the background is a little too busy for my liking, also the layout is not centered in Chrome, I dont know if that is what you intended, but it derives the focus of content from being centralized.

[emberfly]

not centered in firefox, either. 1440x900

the borders should all be the same width.

I do not like having to tilt my head to read text.

I do not like having to squint my eyes or zoom in to 400% just to read the text on the page.

[funride]

How do you make it exactly centered, I use Chrome and it seems fine.

the reason is all computer resolutions are different, I have a 24 inch screen monitor so I use 1600 x 1024 resolution which is way bigger than the standard 1024x768 and in coding, you cannot center a layout by using pixels, you need to do a left:50% and margin-left:-(half of layout)px in order to get it centered in most browsers

Oh, thank you.

the text looks a little out of place. nice though. i like the coloring. its basic but nice. dashed lines are a little old though. try using an image.

[Mikeplyts]

Uh, hello. Anybody remember centering with the margin?

CODE

* {
     margin:0 auto;
}

^That's a wildcard by the way.

margin: auto;
margin: auto;
margin: auto;
margin: auto;
margin: auto;



Everyone keeps saying divs are bad and tables are bad. Neither are bad. Using absolute positioning to center a container isn't bad, it's just extra work. Use margin:auto; and make the browsers do the math and thinking for you.

edit: Fast Mike. :\ I wouldn't really use a wild card for margins, since you'll make everything centered, including everything inside the container like extra divs, lists, paragraphs...everything.

this.
i would just wrap the whole layout in a container div and center that. if you use a wildcart it will center stuff inside of stuff inside of stuff inside of stuff.

[funride]

I dont know what a wild card is.

[creole]

I dont know what a wildcard is.

[mizzkim]

I think the black borders around the square are a bit boring, maybe you can add some style to it. I like the graphics and the background.

[emberfly]

I don't like how the title says "finished" layout.

Yeah, I know, I realize that. I would assume he would change the wild card accordingly though.


:P

[fixtatik]

^ Not if he doesn't know what one is. =S

I dont know what a wild card is.

An asterisk (*) is a wildcard selector. The properties you assign to it are distributed throughout every element of a page.

So, if you do something like this:

CODE

* { border:1px solid black; }

Everything on the page will have a 1px black border. Divs, lists, tables, paragraphs, links, everything.
