Nice layout. I really enjoy it.

If you view the browser with a smaller window, the pop ups scroll the background, not the foreground (popup). Thus not allowing you to see all of the content. OOPS!

You have some good looking AS tuts. Can't wait to read them!

Using italic text for the main content is not a good idea IMO. I'm not really happy with any of the font choices you made. Times? That small? No way. The big headlines overshadow the text so much that I don't notice it's actually what I'm supposed to be looking at. Not to mention it's so far down the page.

Why is there a hover state for some links but not all? Why is your name in orange if it's not a link?

I think you need to do more research in front end development and try using CSS for layout.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your responses. CkretAjint, I totally know what you are talking about with the pop up being hidden under smaller browser windows. My dilemma with letting the pop up scroll is that if you pop up the image from an article further down the page, it's difficult to let the pop up know that I want to be in the middle of the page, 2/5ths the way down the page. I guess I could write a little javascript function to determine where the scroll bar is at the time the user clicks the image... I'll keep that in mind as we update our beta according to the critiques.

Please let me know what you think of the tutorials, I've not really written them before and am hoping they are not too vague.

vanishdesign, I appreciate your input. Although there are some things we still like that seem to rub you the wrong way, you had some poignant criticisms and we really appreciate the input.

Thanks Again.

I really like it, the only thinig that bugged me (and seriously, it's an anal criticism lol) is whatever method you're using to make the front page snippets shouldn't be chopping words in half

Really nice site though, good job!

Were it me, I would lose the italics. The other fonts aren't bad, but the italics are hard to read.

Other than that, I'm not seeing anything offensive. I might consider making those two columns on the right a bit wider, so you don't have as much of a mess there.

It looks good overall though. Nice job.

I think it looks incredible and I was ready to come back here and sing your praises. Then I tried to read it. For me, it is extremely difficult to look at and try to read.

I really like the layout and color palette. I bookmarked it as well
