Something I'm working on for a buddy - 8/15/2007 18:11:50
Poke around and let me know what I'm missing. I know I still have to stroke the style sheet on the links/mouse over colors but I'm sure I'm missing more. I "think" it works at different resolutions but I haven't tried a bunch of browsers, just IE7 and FF. If you could be so kind to look with whatever you have and let me know if it falls apart it would be appreciated.

Very classy Mike!
Have you checked any colour blind filters though? I'm wondering whether there is enough contrast between font colour and background.
It was reasonably okay in that regard on my flat screen, but they are usually brighter than CRT monitors. Have you checked it on any?

I think it's very smart looking!
I agree that the text contrast could be upped a bit - if you want to go all out then the grey with the least contrast that passes the offical test is #b2b1b1 but even upping it a bit would really help (especially in FF without font-smoothing where the text looks paler and skinnier).
The contrast on the bottom nav also needs upping on hover.
Only other thing I can think of would be adding a focus and active rule to your nav's hover rule like this:
#navigation a:focus, #navigation a:hover, #navigation a:active {whatever}
Nice feel to it.
edit: oh thought of something else. The horizontal rules on the FAQ page - were you trying to style them (they can be a real pain) - I've found that this method works nicely cross-browser:
hr {height: 1px;background-color: #E5E5E5;color: #E5E5E5;border: none;padding: 0;margin: 1em 0;}
You might not even want that but, you know, just in case!

All suggestions have been implemented but one, sorry Tail but that hr line of yours didn't want to play right up front and since I really don't know what I'm doing I didn't push it. I changed the link and text colors and I did go and run it through a color blind filter and "think" it's ok. I could still read the text anyway ;). If you have a chance to check what I may have messed up in the rework it would be, once again, appreciated.

Very nice site. It looks fine on Firefox 2.x and Explorer 7.x. Good luck!
