My Wordpress Design (Criticism)

**Jynx** · 03:25 PM

So this is my first ever wordpress design coded entirely by scratch, all by my lonesome, lol. Just wanted to get some criticism on it and such.

Hey, I like it. If it's really your first, great job.

I just want to point out that it needs some tweaking...

Broken Link!

**Moxxnixx** · 04-09-2008, 09:18 PM

Oh yeah Ralph, I forgot to mention that your link is misspelled.
It's supposed to be .org, not .rog.

**amidamaru** · 04-10-2008, 09:01 AM

nice site you have there...

**davidshaw** · 04-10-2008, 11:22 AM

Nice design.

Looks great well done!

**aldor** · 04-10-2008, 12:57 PM

Brilliant!!!

I never did that before, but today/yesterday I misspelled it like 5 times. Thanks. And thanks for the comments everyone.

And yeah, I have to do some cleaning in the validation.

Thats rly good, you should release it also i think this should be in another forum there is one specifically for blog themes...

**Gilligan** · 04-10-2008, 06:01 PM

I can't access it, is your server down?

**Lpspider** · 04-10-2008, 11:15 PM

I can't access it either. Let us know when it's back up.

**BamaStangGuy** · 04-10-2008, 11:17 PM

Down for me as well. So far it sucks

lol. Absolutely wretched.

**dansgalaxy** · 04-11-2008, 04:46 AM

the clever person has changed it from .rog but he only changed the title of the link NOT the account url... go to it and just change the .rog to .org on the end and it works

**Jynx** · 04-11-2008, 03:26 PM

Oh wow, it didn't fix it. Okay, got it down now.

Doh! I should have paid more attention.

I liked the design. It doesn't look like wordpress, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. A little dull, but generally good. The menu especially.

**alcozar** · 04-12-2008, 06:42 AM

The site worked for me, not sure what i think of the "crap on crap action" in title.

Good colour choices used, can't see any obvious colour clashing, site looks pretty good to me.

**Jynx** · 04-12-2008, 06:46 AM

lol, well, the site's name is "for the lose" so I kinda played off of the whole "low self esteem" kind of aura when I made the slogan.

**JoWiGo** · 01:06 PM

Hey, looks great. Only criticism I have is that it's just so **** skinny on larger resolution monitors, but thats true of many sites. Now that Dell is producing many of its laptops with 1920*1200 monitors there are going to be many annoyed people at sites like these.

In fact after some quick research, your narrowing is only benefiting 14% of all web users, most likely less if you delve into how these statistics were derived.

edit: I find it ironic that the site I referenced was optimized for 800*600...
