New Blog/Portfolio Website

Hi There

Seem to be posting a lot in this web design thread!

Could I have anyone's comments on my new blog and portfolio site?

Thanks in advance

It doesn't load. A dead link is just about the worst thing you can have.

loads for me, and looks very nice, the colors and layout are very easy on the eyes.

Thanks - I've gone for a simple, easy to read layout

It should load... Must be a problem at your end I think, maybe try it again? - Or try www.ppleyard.org.uk.

very cool

like binary bonsai layout.

this man rocks

I used Binary Bonsai as inspiration, but coded it all myself. Also added a few extra features such as the style switcher etc. Actually, just added a chocolate coloured theme, do you like it?

Great site man.. A+ I love the simple yet pleasing layout.

#242750

you posting others work is a little misleading at first, but the design is incredibly sexy. just don't get the brown one, not very chocolaty

#242754

yeah i like it a lot

my own blog uses this layout too

#242762

I've said it before and I will say it again. You are an amazing designer/coder. It depresses me when I compare this to my own work

My only suggestion is to make the button links (blog, about me, etc) less square, and more rounded.

Good job!

Nice website. I really love the design !

#242776

wow great site

like the switcher too

#242828

Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments

I'm currently writing a few tutorials for things, to make the site a bit more useful

Is there anything (in general) you'd like to see a tutorial on?

Cheers

an easier way to align center items using css. currently i use the container margin text-align method which sucks and takes too much typing

Everything. I am in awe of your sites, and I think I just got inspired to go back to web design. I know I sound like I'm fawning, but they're great. I was wondering if you could do some CSS tutorials on integrating color, elements (instead of using tables), and switching stylesheets.

Thanks!

I think it looks pretty nice but it doesn't show up correctly in ie. The banner is about 20 pixels too far to the left. I'll check it out on firefox when i get home.
