Thanks everyone for your compliments. I think I really like the olive green links Kristarella came up with, so will be sticking with ‘em for a while. I also made some background tweaks to prevent the background image from being so danged startling — it’s also a fraction of the file size it once was. =D

Still, it’s a bit dark, so I might try to find a suitably dark purple color that would work.

Thanks again, everyone, for your honest feedback!

You did a great job, I will admit I have to get use to the bold color. But I think you did a great job!!!

I would go for a nicer and perhaps smaller font in the footer. Maybe Calibri or Candara would work.

Rick:

Nice work, brother!

I’m not a big fan of purple, but the nav bar and the rounded corners are really nice touches.

Hey Rick, thanks for the footer compliment! I was thinking, what if you used the same background image but just decreased its “fill” in photoshop or gimp. I think you’d get a softer and more subtle but still very cool image that wouldn’t distract from the content. I’d be glad to help out with the photoshop work if you’ve got too much on your plate.

Hi Rick, I really like your site re-do. I arrived here right before you removed the background image. The image really grabbed my attention, but I think the site looks great with or without it. I appreciate dark sites and love sophisticated color palettes. The olive green links are a winner with me!

I also want to say thank you very much for creating Thesis OpenHook. It sure does make things easier and has saved a lot of my time!

Going without the background image for a while. It makes it look a lot cleaner. Still want *something* in the background, though, so I’ll be playing with that soon enough. Suggestions, as always, are welcome.

Thanks, Kris, for checking up on me. :) I swapped out "0.01em" for "1px." And I have borders in Safari now. I have no idea how I didn't notice that in testing. Will: I am having an awesome day, thanks. :) Glad you liked the sidebar. I was particularly pleased with how well it turned out.
