Yeah, so I'm a geek, tell me about it

Made it a while back for some practice. Overall I'm pretty happy with it - but some bits could be better.

Also sadly its not XHTML valid because when I wrote it I was a bit of an amateur at standards and though it was perfectly ok to stick a <p> tag in a <h3> **shame** - But it is fairly semanticly coded which I believe has helped a ton for SE ranking.

Well it's true - what would be the point of bullshitting?

Typo on first line... Platinia!

Looks like a Star Trek thing though.

Holy. Fuck.

You, out of the thousands of visitors including myself are the only one to spot that typo. That is pretty big fuck up on my part. I honestly cant believe I missed that. Shame on me.

This is the type of error I'll definetely correct. Cheers.

To save face, lets just say I did it on purpose for SEO reasons

nice site. goes well with the theme. easy to navigate, clear and concise..personal touch. nice stuff

pgo · 01-03-2007, 13:15

It's not bad. Quite appropriate to the subject matter.

NERD ALERT!

ross_mcglocness · 01-03-2007, 13:20

OH yeah I forgot to say... it's put together very well (for the subject matter)... I think it's very professional (apart from the typo)

doodler · 01-03-2007, 16:14

Oh man. 529k background file. You need to split that thing up... at least give the header its own smaller image.

For the subject matter I guess it's effective. I'd move that big red badge somewhere else (like below the nav or in the blue area before LOCATION) and rearrange the header a little to prevent unnecessary negative space. Aside from the header I'd say the rest of the site is effective, but even argue that the text column width is a tad wider than ideal. The image thumb could also be a wee bit smaller.
