Hey guys,

This is my first post. I found this forum a few months ago.
Been lurking and using codes but decided to join.
I also decided to tackle my first layout/skin using sweetxsimplicity's tutorial
Heres it is
http://www.xanga.com/lordnemesis
I found the main pic on another xanga.
The poem on it is an original by me.
I designed it on IE with a desktop size of 1024x768
Give me some of your thoughts on it.

hmm, it looks nice, but its completely mis-alighed in Safari, then again, most Xangas don't even support Safari or Camino, so why bother talking about that...


Its amazingly nice for a first. Good job.

hey, welcome to cb! great job on your first layout. it looks so much better than mine had.

i like the concept but for some reason the background in the divs/entries hurt my eyes.

Thanks for pointing that out... I double checked the code and and fixed it.
and thanks for the comments guys.
This is my first xanga layout/skin but Im no stranger to web graphics.
Although it did take me a few minutes to figure out the opacity.
I used gimp 2.2 instead of photoshop.
Im already have the graphics of another layout out fixed and ideas for 2 more.
I think Im addicted haha whistling.gif tongue.gif laugh.gif

Way to go! My only critique is to make the entries the same width as the banner/poem... that goes for the navigation too. Great job!

Wow, it is really good for a first time, but its just not my type, I suggest going for something more simple and more aligned.... like uniform, but good job!
