My Portfolio Site (90% Complete)
WoW! Cool! I like that style! 
The scrolling box on the left doesn't work in safari. About 25px of the right of it doesn't scroll with the rest. ![]()
very nice site dude (Y)

That's a fairly nice site...
I would make a couple of comments, though (which is no surprise to the regulars, I'm sure).
You've got buttons for XHTML 1.0 and CSS compliance - make them links and prove it to us!
Your home page (images included) is somewhere around the 200+KiB mark - this took almost a two seconds to fully download on my broadband internet connection - I would guess it'd take about 20 seconds on dialup (if they're lucky) - you might want to make it a little less image heavy, or conpress the images a little more, or something...
The left navigation is, whilst cool, a usability nightmare - the buttons aren't obvious enough, and I didn't even realise they were scrolling controls until I rolled over them.
The top navigation - you might want to think about doing one of two things with the images here - either ensure that they're preloaded (otherwise your site looks sluggish, even on broadband), or consider using "CSS no-preload rollovers".
All that said, it's a nice looking site, just a little too heavy on the images for my tastes. Kudos on the XHTML/CSS, but, as Contra says "Real men validate XHTML Strict".
Thanks for the comments guys, I will consider optimizing the images further. As far as the scrolling blog not working in Safari, it seems fine on my iBook... <_
Weird. I still get it.

LOL That's great.
I'll agree on the css rollover comment. Here's another article on rollovers just to help drive the point home. ![]()
Weird. I still get it.
Hmm, that doesn't make sense, like I said it works on my iBook....
Another thing is, those boxes are divs, which shouldn't, by any reasoning, split like that. There must be, somehow a bug in certain versions of Safari, or some plugin/software you installed is casing it.
I will look in to it further but there is nothing in the code that I can think of that would cause such a thing ![]()

Tentative validation is barely validation at all
