I'd like to know your oppinions on my site, http://winnopeg.com. I spent a lot of time on the template for WordPress and I'd like some oppinions

It's a nice theme - the colors and the images go well together. Could use some work on the sidebar though, align right would probably look better.

nice site, I'm trying to get to grips with wordpress. how'd you change the header info?

I don't like the brown color, it doesn't seem to match with the picture that you chose to use as the header. As far as your menu, I really had to struggle to read it. Is that happening with everyone else? I could need glasses. Other than that, your website looks good.

It's either in header.php or in style.css (labeled under header of course

). Depends on the theme really. And thanks.

It's actually a red - similar to the read candy in the picture.. That's kind of my guidline for a header image (I swap out a lot). It's got to have a red subject as part of it. As far as the text in the sidebar goes, it looks fine for me in FF on an XP at 1024x768..

hmmmm Maybe you should take it into consideration that the color appears brown on some monitors. I'm not sure why that is, but I honestly couldn't tell that it was a red color.

I sort of like the website, but it appeals to me as very skinny at the top, but once you get down to the content it looks fine. Could you add a decorative border to the left and to the right of the main element?

pyowomaniac · 12-17-2005, 08:08 PM

Oh yeah, a border really could add to your site. Again, I want you to get rid of that brown color. LOL A border would be a great replacement. I think that you can find free borders on search engines like google.

winnopeg · 12-20-2005, 12:03 PM

I could I suppose, but you've got to remember I only use MS Paint

It's harder to do.

And I'm working on a replacement for this theme, it'll be slightly different but a lot of the change will be in it's structure, and how it manages things. It's also wider but keeps the red

Simple yet nice. I'm still kinda confused on what your site is. A blog? I only checked out the first link. Maybe you should add a little quick introduction on top. Like "My Blog" or "My Life" or something..
