    I’ll accept any sort of criticism/praise with no hard feelings.

    Still a couple of tweeks to be made, but almost done.

    Hey soap, I’ve seen ya around the board, good suggestions for other people, so I thought I’d give ya some input on this one :)

    Drop Down Menu, add text-align:center; to .menu_body – this will keep consistency with your buttons

    Drop Down Menu hover, try using a background color change, rather than bold text on hover, just keep font weight normal

    Drop Down Menu on mouseOut, it stays, is this what you want? Most I see / use will go back to hidden on mouseOut

    Flash header, try jquery, you’ll get the same effect, even the text (graphic 4th image) easier to add more images later on

    Buttons below Newsletter, try making each of these a different background color? I get that the site likes white, but this could be a good way to draw the eye.

    Links that go to a different site should have target="_blank" so that your visitors don’t have to hit back to get to your site.

    I don’t like seeing sites using Transitional Docktype, CSS-Tricks uses strict, which is good, but I like what google uses: <!doctype html> Its simple, cross browser, and I love it! Transitional will give you more headaches in the long run.

    hmm what else…ah I know

    Footer, the links with the border, axe that, make the links #666666 and the copyright #888888, put the copyright under the links, and vertically center the two, i did it through firebug, and it looks pretty darn good.

    I’m not trying to be picky, but help overall, i love getting long posts on my sites, helps me in the long run :)

    Hope this helps!

    Hey, good suggestions man. Thanks.

    As for the dropdown, I intend on making it go back up on mouse out, just slammed and haven’t gotten around to it yet.

    I’ll put some of your suggestions to the test and see how it comes out.

    Thanks!

    Good points, but if I’m not mistaken isn’t it invalid code to have target="_blank" in a HTML 4.0 strict doctype?

    You’ve made a toolbox for the buttons… If you drive a long each button you don’t see exactly how the text change. Try a JQuery fade effect for mouseover/out. I’m not really sure about this, but try it ;)

    Hey, awesome site…. I just love the navigation bar by the way ;)
    Oh and if you could just show which is the current page on the navigation bar then it would be just great!
