The Home, About and Contact tabs seem anchored to the left edge of the page which is fine when the browser window is only as wide as the blog but after that it ends up progressively further away from the posts, which looks a little odd. I imagine there's a way to play with the HTML to make it stay right below your header image but don't ask me what it is. The other thing about the tabs, and we're well into the horses for courses zone here, is that I think it's better if they mimic browser tabs and simply make a different page appear under the header image. Having just typed that now I've realised that they're not tabs at all but links arranged horizontally - d'oh. Or can they do either? Well, my 2ยข worth, though I come here for the content rather than to wander in and criticise the decor, and anyway the overall look is good.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-82691334530066227542010-02-14T02:52:09.644+00:002010-02-14T02:52:09.644+00:00Easier on the eye Dick.Easier on the eye Dick.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-50737167518385087452010-02-13T22:49:59.312+00:002010-02-13T22:49:59.312+00:00Reminds me to ask, how do you do your updating Dai...Reminds me to ask, how do you do your updating Daily Reads list?

It loads a lot quicker too, which is good for me on my dial-up phone line.<br /><br />I prefer the wider paragraphs, and what seems to be a larger font (easier on my eyes). But I think maybe the background under the text could do with being slightly lighter. Or the text slightly darker. Are you looking for a more low-key image with these delicate pastel shades?<br /><br />And the banner at the top obviously needs a bit of work. Perhaps you could add a few more bishops and villeins to the frieze?;-)Frank Davishttp://frank-davis.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-2698510205909839532010-02-13T22:31:25.979+00:002010-02-13T22:31:25.979+00:00Ta for the critique, all.
