Real Honest Critique Needed - 4/9/2006 20:15:23
I run a site www.saisp.net for a Poetry site. I really need to know what anybody thinks of the site itself and how I can improve it.

Hi,
I'm not an expert, so I really don't know what to look for, but one thing I noticed was the background image noticeably duplicates itself (width-wise it is fine for 1024x768 screen resolution but it's noticeable out for anything higher), so if you were to fix the image itself so the seams between the duplicates don't stick out as much. I think that would be a "worth it" improvement.

When it comes to fonts, I'm partial to Verdana even though Verdana Italized is difficult to read.
Times New Roman creeps me out, but that's me. TNR is the best for italics.
I liked everything else, including one of the poems.

Take the scrolls off.
Don't disable right clicks.
About the background image problem, you could try to come up with some other usage for the image. For instance, it could make a beautiful intro image on the home page, next to the text. It's also better not to have it on every page, at least on those with poems on them. I also like to read poems, and not all poems are about flowers and happiness and love. A sad emo angst poem wouldn't work on a flowery background.
The website title, you need to make it smaller. Make it, like, half of the current size. Since it's on every page, it distracts from the rest of the content. You could also lose the pink/red gradient and make it solid red (looks better).
The navigation items with the script font (Linoscript): they are a bit too hard to read. Can you put some antialiasing on them? You have this option in Adobe Photoshop, for instance. You can still save them as GIF images if you give them enough colors.
And then the poems itself: just a little style tip. You haven't specified any font for the PRE elements (the poems are set in pre-formatted text). I suggest Andale Mono, it's a popular monospace font. On my computer the poems are displayed in Courier which is too rigid.
