Ok thats better.

Its pretty simple. But thats not necessarily a bad thing. Its better than most flash layouts I've seen.

I think it looks really good. The white box at the top could use something, though. It seems a bit empty or out-of-place to me. Overall, great job for a first attempt. :D

Its alright, its really plain and simple and then once you get to the bottom, its like OH YAY COLOR. So yea..add more color elsewhere.

Also if you go to what im interested in, and it has those two button or images whatever, and then you go back up once those images sometimes show through..

I'm just sitting here contentedly pushing those tabs up and down...

Lovely first attempt; the coding and organisation is spot on - now just to incorporate more design into your future stuff.

It's plain but functional. I kind of like the simplicity, but a bit more color would be nice. Good job happy.gif

Okay, So I've made a few changes yesterday, and I didn't have a bunch of time to post about them today. Anywho, for those of you interested, here we go..

Changes
  • Added White "Faded" bars to the bottom of the header and the top of the footer.
  • Created a Faded "grungish" texture under the header's white bar, and on top of the footer's white bar.
  • Got rid of the white box that used to be on top of the accordion tabs.
  • Added my Zune Card :). Acts as a semi-functional media player.
  • Moved the Comment box to the footer.
  • Changed some colors, and typography here and there..
Again, I did this all on Thursday, so those of you that saw the profile today, Friday, will see these changes.

Possible Ideas
  • Change the gradient in the header into a navigation?
  • Adding some more "Grungy" paint splatters and whatnot around the background.
  • Creating a real media player that's embedded into the flash "Accordion" tabs (as I like to call them).
  • Different background color perhaps?
  • Changing Typography on link lists in the footer.
  • Washed-Out Vector illustrations in the background?
  • Have to fix and improve the accordion in some specific and small ways..
  • Remove Zune Card?

So tell me what you guys think. All comments are appreciated a bunch! _smile.gif .

Commentary
Let me start by saying thank you to all who commented, below are answers/commentary to some posts that were made.

Thanks, please note that this is definitely not my first time working with CSS/XHTML. Been playing with that for around a year now, give or take a few months.

Thank you, I think you are very correct in saying that it needs something.. I'm not quite sure what yet, which is why this thread is on this forum :D.

Today I made some very dramatic color changes, not all of the content has been added yet, and the text on my tabs aren't rendering properly for some reason, but tomorrow I'll fix it and add more content for people to see.

Tell me if it looks better or worse.

Oh I like the changes, it seems like there is to much space at the top though.

I love the Zune card, I love my zune :D
