It's very bright.

Ya know, I think my main problem with your banners are the way you capitalize and the font you use.  Both suck.

And I guess to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the name, and it doesn't look good in large print.

Can you try using a different font and not capitalizing any of it?

Yah that's kinda the reason that I capitalize it....but I guess if people find their way to my site they'd have to type the three f's anyways or something.  It's not that big of a deal I suppose.

Anyway, when I get home today I'm going to start working on redoing all of the content for my site.  I've decided the current design is just too dark and kinda slopped together, so I'm going to put it through the 3rd revision in the past year and a half :rolleyes:

for a start it doesn't look too bad... (bgtest.htm) I'd have to see it further along to get an better idea of it... if you follow what you had in your book, it shouldn't turn out too bad...

also: if you wanted to run with that hall design, gradients are your friend... look at the design I just threw together really fast:

just use a square gradient, and keep adding on to it... use a small square, then double the size (from the same starting point) and keep doing that until you get to a light shade (in my case transparent) where you want them... then you can add doors/people/lights/etc.

Hmm, very cool, I hadn't thought of doing that.  I was thinking of maybe trying to put together a 3D rendering of a hallway or something....I'll just see what happens.

Looks pretty good.... but can you maybe... make it not so blindingly bright?

I know, still converting the old layout to the new design.

I'll probably add another style customizer.  I'll add another layout with somewhat the same colors but a darker set.
