Cool! I've given up on learning flash for now. I just don't have the time or drive :( What kind of site is it?

New site!

www.jacyx.net
If going to that takes you to doodleflash, it is because of your countries DNS hasn't configured it yet. If it does take you to doodleflash, use this instead:
www.knockaround.co.uk/

Tell me what you think.

Those arn't real .html pages http://www.knockaround.co.uk/pages.php?page=n ews

Oh come on, he has just used black and gray, and is it not a compliment, by saying he likes the way your site is made, so he uses parts of it?

If you take a look at the source you can see its a simple copy and paste.
I wouldnt have a problem if the code was diferent or modifie.

I quote his MSN private message:
"I make my own templates. Jordan steals them. <info@stormxi.co.uk>"
I didn't even steal one anyway, it is a free template at www.freewebtemplates.com

Meh, I was just testing out the news system. Anyway, its replaced now. =P

You mean, Heil.

Ok guys, who the hell cares? This is the internet!

Anyway, I hate IE 6 (it fucked up my layout but FF is fine) but I also hate IE 7, I'm not switching to IE 7 because of that. Ugh! I hate web design :( Look at my site in IE 6 http://www.fauxdreams.net, then look at it in FF.

It also looks messed up in FF1.5.

Eventually i created a logo that im willing to use.
Ive got an artist designing me a new one today though, so this probably wont be the final one :)

you gonna need to put all your layers in a container with a set width that way the positions of you left and content dont change when you resize the browser, and you are also then going to need to add display:inline; to Left to fix an IE bug.

I hope you can figure that out, and that is actually your problem I have to get to work like...now so im rushed :S

Layout

If i was to stumble across that, i wouldnt think "Experienced Coder" =(
Id think something closer to "N00b with Notepad" =P

Keep trying though.

Then upgrade to 2.0 :P

I did away with the container. I've NEVER had as many problems as I've been having lately. It's pretty damn frustrating. (oh and FUCK the IE bugs! lol I'm just sick of it all, bah! *goes all emo*)

P.S. ALL BETTER :D Can someone else please look to make sure that it also looks ok for you?

I did, but yesterday i installed 1.5 again because 2.0 is a bit glitchy, and the bugs got annoying after a while.

I like the text and everything, but i think the bottom bit, the "No nonsense, just codes" looks out of place.

Better? Worse? MONKESZS?

The problem with using a free template is that everyone else's site will look like yours :/

I agree and also make the fonts smaller for certain parts, like your affiliates, it only needs to be a max of 14 px. Anything larger than that and it gets to be a bit obnoxious.

Try these colors: 7DA582 (dark color), A6C7AA (accent color) and then you should be ok. I also don't know about using a black font against the darker color, so you may need to use white instead. You're on the right track, just keep playing with it.

Yeah, i think the layout is okay, it just needs a colour change, a few images added in, some css editing etc.

I think I like that one the best...

The CodeDatabase bit is good, but the No nonsense thing looks a bit out of shape.
