Re: [WSG] Site Check Please: www.re-entity.com
I would take the clear:left off the paragraphs within your post.FRom this: .post p, .post ul { margin-bottom:10px; clear:left; }to .post p, .post ul { margin-bottom:10px;
}That way the text will wrap around the Roulette image that you've floated left rather than clearing it.On 4/7/06, Stuart Sherwood

Mmm, I have some sympathy for your dislike of the uppercase text...just can't bring myself to change it yet. I like the way it looks too much but I will experiment to see if I can find a pleasing alternative.Those weird links are Blogger generated... :( This is why I'm on the search for a JSP blogging alternative. Any suggestions?
Yes, the privacy policy should be a link...but I guess I better write one first...Doh!The Philosophy page is certainly there...don't know what happened for you.The posting for Roulette, The Band has a link at the bottom, but I have added another link within the post anyway. I haven't put any links in the portfolio section as I indend that to be stand alone from the large images I link to.
Yep, I think you are right about my welcome message...changed!Thanks,Stuart

Re: [WSG] Site Check Please: www.re-entity.com
Hi Stuart,1. I'm not sure the uppercase text in the tiny font works that well. I think you can get away with it for the sub headings, but it's difficult to read (try a bigger font-size, with mixed case text). 2. The introductory paragraph is a bit lengthy. Why not just cut it down to Introducing design transparency -- you could even put this directly below your title, as it tells the user pretty much what the page is about. If you want to include the other stuff, put it in an about section. 3. Welcome to my new site detracts from the professionalism I believe are trying to acheive.I hope this helps!Daniel NitscheOn 4/7/06, Stuart Sherwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Listers,I'd appreciate any comments on my site redesign.www.re-entity.com Thanks,Stuart
