  • Love the new site

    Yea. I love your idea of doing small upgrades to a site instead of a total redesign. That way you can just tweak the parts you don't like as much. I love the new navigation/header. It's fantastic.

    Just, FYI: That spacing is being created by the margin in this css: p, li { font-size:1.3em; line-height:1.4em; margin-bottom:0.8em; } Doesn't really make any sense, but I'd add: #nav li { margin-bottom:0; } Then you can remove the -1…

    I like it. It's very nice. The only picky thing I can come up with is the three images in the header. I don't get why they are there. They add a lot of "weight" to the header and attract attention... but don't direct eyeba…

    What? They use fonts here? No.... I don't believe it. That's like 1998. pshh... srry... Yes... What you need is Firebug. Right Click on offending font, and click inspect element. This will help you find: font-family:Georgia,Serif;

    Just have your navigation clear the header image: Update your #topnavbar (line 121) to be this: #topnavbar { clear:left; height:34px; } Instead of floating left, "clear:left" will put the navigation below your header image that is float…

    Overall, I really like it. I love the extensive use of JQuery. It's very impressive. Here are my thoughts: I think there might be too much going on on the home page though. All the sliders are cool, but there is sooo much information on the h…
