Although not my first site, I am proudest of this one. www.21bluefish.com Lemme know what everyone thinks....I changed the fonts on the menu to be bigger, but I can't get my 2nd computer to boot (for some odd reason), to see if it looks any bigger on it or not. Any comments are appreciated.
Also, there seems to be a glitch in my picture rotator code, but I'm confused as to why it's doing it at these random times. At 8:06-8:09 it switches to night, but then switches back to sunrise at 8:10. This does this at 11:06, 14:06, 17:06, and 20:06 as well...you can see my code at this thread http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53923. It's the very last post. I'm really confused why it does that at such random times and only for 3 minutes. Any help on that would be appreciated, if anyone feels up to it. Thanks everyone!

the layout in side of the site is prefect. but the the front page's text could use a bit more organization, my eyes have to jump around a bit to much to see what every thing says.

with your menu you could make the font slightly larger on the sub items.

Visually I find you site appealing but I think the main probelm lie in it's readability.


I hope i'm not being to harsh

Sweet sweet sweet...Not harsh at all. Constructive criticism is what I need to get functionality. About the splash page, that was kind of the point, was like disorganization, but maybe you're right and I should compact it all a little better. I'll fix that sub menu tomorrow or maybe even this evening. Mr G, what font are you referring to? The menu font or the whole page font? Thanks everyone for the support and comments. They are much appreciated!

I love the site, just maybe a smaller/clearer text and it will be complete!

i think text should have more contrast for sake of readability.

For the font, I suggest downloading some of the free fonts from www.fontsforflash.com , espeacially the Atlantis and Harmony ones. They look good small and aren't too hard on the eyes.

Ok. So I changed the stuff you were talking about Jasninder. I see what you're saying about the color scheme not matching the bar, or vice versa. The bottom links I fixed too. The reason it was like that was because I had built the entire site using templates for ease of updatability, so I just changed the bottom to an editable field and so now it's like you said. I changed the link color scheme as well. What font do you like and which don't you like? The 0 of 0 kb's thing I don't know how to correct. I dynamically loading swf's, so I put the preloader on the swf's rather than the root movie their being called into. Should I do it differently? I've been trying to figure out why it does that.
Osman- Do you mean the button text? Like changing the color to something brighter, or a complement of it?
Timage- I downloaded them, but they all just seem to small to me. I'll check it out though. Maybe the fonts are just rendering different on my screen. It seems like they are. Maybe it'll look better on a different machine.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I really appreciate them!

i would delete the redundant navigation at the very bottom, which scolls off the bottom of my screen anyway. and make sure your pixel fonts on the flash navigation are aligned to their pixels.

Well thanks for the comments everyone. I'll be adding some of the stuff Seticus helped me with soon...but not too soon, since I've got finals coming up. Friggin' college. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Any more are appreciated, as well.

MiniHaHa is a very good looking font, but don't blur it at all, or you'll killl your site. Also, Times New Roman doesn't go with the site at all.

Georgia is supposed to be the default font, not times. Is that what you're seeing is times?
