Ok, I'm doing my old site, Hamster Design, all over again. I haven't done the art or the buttons for it yet, just the general layout/idea. (I need to get photoshop again). Oh and I'm posting an image temporarily, I'm getting my host in a few days (I'm in some sort of waiting list)

'm going to be posting my advances in here. Meanwhile I have a favor to ask, please tell me if the layout size, position and palette (hamster-y) are ok. My screen is 1024x768. Thanks in advance.

I'm using a table and an iframe.

So far it looks good. A bit too early to comment. Keep it up.

It's now online. I made an image-based navigation menu.
http://www.hamsterdesign.exofire.net/

To do:
-create on mouse code to make the text turn into the light color
-create some pixely hamster images

I need opinions on the navigation menu. Does it look too newby? Should it be horizontal?

Do you mean hover? Like on my site's navigation?

I used this clip of script in it, it goes <head>here</head>

There's text-decoration: none; after each code or else Opera will put underlines in it. :P

Aah, thank you very much Leroy, I didn't know that Opera bug.
I think I'm going to redo some things of the layout, the navigation looks kind of amateur lol. I'm also going to use external css, I have been reading a lot of css tutorials lately.

Can't wait to see you finish it! 8D

Hm, what could I contribute. Well, my computer has a wide screen monitor, and because of the height of the layout, I have to scroll down to see the bottom of the page. It might be because I have three tool bars, plus the URL bar, but from what I have heard, people use toolbars.

So, what I'm saying is that maybe you should adjust the height of the everything a little, so it's slightly smaller, and there's less chance someone will have to scroll. I know, we wide-screeners are impossible. >:

I'd suggest you let the height fit the content - since you can't fit everyone's monitor/toolbars, and you don't want it to be too tiny
