Would this be your site?

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Apr 13, 2004, 01:00 AM

Also what CMS are you using?

newsgeek · Apr 13, 2004, 01:02 AM

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Apr 13, 2004, 01:07 AM

Not bad looks good ... i would suggest a nice logo to match it..

Default skin is waaay to dark and hard to read. I suggest a whiter/brighter font colour.

newsgeek · Apr 13, 2004, 04:48 PM

Its not the default skin, yet, I'm considering making the font color "white" ...

Needs some contrast. Also, the header needs work.

newsgeek · Apr 14, 2004, 04:25 PM

Not quite done with the header. Malus, could you explain a bit more in depth about it needing more contrast?

UberLord · Apr 14, 2004, 08:26 PM

More contrast meaning the text should stand out more against the background.

dark grey on black is an eye strain

Or maybe I'm just getting old

That's what I was referring to. However, it seems the design has changed (well, at least for me it has).
