<grin>I like misusing me some ems!
Seriously, though, yes. I am using a technique that I saw on Stu
Nicholls site, CSS Play [1], which uses ems. Using a <div>, or a
<span> tag seems to not work as well -- would another element work?
- Missing title attribute from your anchor's
I definitely will add in titles for some of the links. I suppose
things like 'Contact' are self-explanatory, while others, like FAQ do
require further elaboration.
- No indication as to who or what your site is about. At least a
logo or name.
Hmmm. I suppose I could be more explicit about this.
- Why use XHTML? If you are not using anything XML related you should
be using HTML. HTML is not dead and just because you use XHTML it does
not mean your site is making good use of Web Standards. If this was do
they would not be working towards HTML5.
It is not so much a case of preferring one over the other, but of
using the one that seemed more logical. This article [1], while old,
seems to have most of my reasons. However, I have barely read
anything on this issue, so I would welcome a clarification.
- Class and ID names are not semantic. id="left" would make no sense
if you moved it to the right.
While in a multi-author, frequently updated site, semantic class
names are useful, on a small site such as mine, I think that they are
not really a case for concern.
- Why do you have your text blocks all over the place? I think they
would look better if they were all left aligned and keep the
navigation to the right.
Definitely a point that I will consider. I'm playing around with the
site, having a little fun. I thought that it looked nicer, but I will
definitely try a strictly left-aligned version.
I like the idea, the font goes well with the simplisit design. Try
making the navigation stand out a bit more and give the page some
natural flow and order.
I will definitely work on this some more.
There is probably more issues but i only had a quick glance.
