• Inspired by Phu Ly’s Design, I decided to try making my own 3-column layout. To be honest, I have never had any luck with creating a 3-column design mostly due to the menus, but this time I had the dedication to see myself through the project. The most frustrating element behind the design was working with IE, which hated my floating menus. To fix the problem, I simply made an IE specific CSS file to place the menus and content dividers in places that almost mirror where they are in Firefox.

    Anyway, I am look for your opinions and/or suggestions as to how I can improve the look and functionality of the design.

    Thank you all in advance!

  • If I may be honest (if not, oh well), you seem to have made a good start but aren’t quite there yet. Not if you want to meet my personal standards, of course. The middle and right columns both use centered text, which is like nails on a blackboard to me. Next, there’s too much space between lines throughout. Third, there’s no obvious sign that blog entries beyond the first are extracts with more to be read by clicking the post title.

    On a more positive note, I love the header graphic, color scheme (if I was in Reservoir Dogs, I would have played Mr. Blue) and I did enjoy your writing. Hope Babboo makes out okay.

    Thanks for your input. I don’t like the spacing of the middle column and will fool around with it sometime this weekend. After a week or so of coding, I am sort of burnt out. ??

    Aside from the spacing issues already mentioned, my only pet peeeve is: the header image is kind of large – if viewed on an 800×600 it would take up most of the screen. (I’m on 1040xwhatever on FF – it takes up half the screen. I just don’t like scrolling before I need to, if that makes sense). if you could make it a little shorter (width is fine) I’d like it better. other than that, I like what you’ve done with it – and that it doesn’t look so ‘default cookie cutter’ like a lot of mods do.

    oh, btw. the links link at the top doesn’t go anywhere – I’m assuming that’s still in progress, but posting on the off-chance that you didn’t realize it. ??

    There is a lot of nice stuff going on there in the details. Welcome to 3 columns. ??

    Thanks everyone. I’ve fixed some of the spacing issues I had with the layout, which makes it look a bit better. The design is still a work in progress though.

    I dig it, alot!!!
