0 Plarkster Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think the new one looks more modern and is on the right track but I don't think the colours work well - they're a bit too strong. Mainly the background colour and the post headings. Try experimenting with different colour schemes and toning it down a bit. Also, I think it may look neater if you add a bit more left and right padding on the main white sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 RoomKid Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Need more padding on the columns. Which? All? Because the top column actually had padding:20px but got overwritten to padding: 14px 7px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sweetsam Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Certainly better than before. I would increase the spacing 1.5 times but thats just me. Sorry if it sounds pedantic. Margin was a concept beaten to death when I was in school. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Axel Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 A bit of advice. Remove or rephrase this: I'm against Internet Explorer 8 and below. Get Firefox. (Close) As it stands it looks petty and unprofessional. Otherwise, I get a 404 error when I visit http://manmohanjit.com/try :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Plarkster Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 It's getting there. I think you should have made a screenshot of your first attempt for comparison. I'm still not keen on the post headings colour, I think it might be the shadow on it that put's me off - try taking it off and see what that looks like.
