I like it. Maybe if the nav bar was on the other side, I don't know, I like it. Nice title image too.

The title image is thanks to blender. :P You should see all the junk behind the camera. i had a Sun, stars, fireworks and a little spaceship in there originally. Then I got rid of it all in favour of the current design. But if I rotate the camera 90 degrees...

Very good editorials. Just needs some graphica sprucing up. :) I want to see more issues to come. This is quite fun reading.

I'm really sorry, but this new format sucks.
I use a small framesize(800*600)
so i have to sidescroll to read it
=not pretty
sorry to burst your bubble

It would help for people to give suggestions on how to fix it rather than simply saying "it sucks".
Nov 28, 2003 roguelazer link
Hmm... I thought I calculated it to fit on 800x600. I'll go look at my calculations again. From what I remember, there is a way to detect screen size in JavaScript, maybe I can use that to load a different size image for different resolutions.

Good, but the window to view the articles is a wee bit too small. :)

And what's with all the red propoganda!? I want Hornets for bullets! :P

very nicely done.
good writers, fair looking layout...
all in all: GOOD JOB
Nov 26, 2003 SiliconX link
Any suggestions for the layout? I'm welcome to any.

maybe use frames and put the summary/navigation in a small one on the left or right side, so you can scroll the text without scrolling the navbar (that way you keep access to the whole).
in the text frame, make the paragraphs have less width (easier to read), i'd say about .5 or 2/3 of the present width.

all other changes i could suggest are of a cosmetic nature and wouldn't be appreciated by many, i think.

The frames I can do. I think I'd keep the text full-frame in the 'text frame'. I'll work on it after Lunch, or maybe on Friday and release a "Issue #11 version 2" by the weekend.

Can I pleeze pretty-pretty-please do the frame design? Pweeeze?
