This is not a subliminal ad ^_^

NOTE: Domain 'zappoartblog.com' will be coming soon.

This is my blog / art / random / tutorial / whatever you want site. I haven't actually had too much feedback on the design, save for nick and Agatio, and I'd like to get a community of NEW faces, so if you have friends at forums other than GSSF, well, pass around the Zappo url, would ya? :unsure:

The site is XHTML 1.1 and CSS2 *semantically* valid, has an excellent blogging system w/comments and ratings, and most of the site is done save for the tutorials and the contact page. The coding is super condensed (props to nick1presta for helping with that), and I'm hoping I'll be able to make a few separate styles in the future for people to switch between.

Comments, critique, support, w/e is welcome.

Nice site, but that wavy-blue background is driving me mad ^_^

The bg put me off a bit too. Kinda distracting I found. Also, the font colour is too light. On a light background, the colour really shouldn't be lighter than #666 I think. It creates a softer look, but at the same time it's a little hard to read.

[Eugine]

Yeah, Agatio pointed out all the stuff I was going to type out. Especially the font colour.

Otherwise, its a great layout, wouldn't expect anything less from you Andross.

You, Agatio and Nick... All of you have awesome blogs.

I love the font color ( reminds me of Cingular ^_^ ). It looks great, though.

[Eugine]

Nothing is wrong with the yellowish and blueish colours. The grey though is too light, should be a littlebit heavier so I can read it properly without some weird eye movements.

[Nick Presta]

The grey would be fine slightly darker (try #CDCDCD for comparison) and I like the wavy blue background.

[Andross]

The font color stuff is just because I have an LCD - you all probably have a CRT. I'll go ahead and edit. *And maybe make the orange orangier since you said YELLOW O_O*

[Eugine]

Opps my bad, its orange of course! =)

I have a LCD Monitor you know, those ultrasharp one, but that's a different topic.

BTW, nice way to advertise Firefox ^_^

Did you add a slightly striped background to your content wrapper?

If so, thumbs up *puts thumbs up*

[Andross]

There has always been a VERY subtle striped bg on my content wrapper ^_^

[cyberRoll]

the site gets a 9.50/10 the bg 2.50/10

Also, why is your mascot a freakin' pug?

Why SHOULDN'T my logo be a pug? :)
No one else has an animal logo, and the pug silhouette is teh pwn. w0t w0t.
