Design

.... Here it is. What don't you like, what do you like... I'm not going to switch this thing up too much. I am only going to switch up what I can do with the html/css. So nitpick at the small things.

The design is nice, dont like the advert above search, its too close to an input element so people may click by accident and that will irritate users. Also keep the account info together (at the top with the notifications area). Not much else to say as its still fairly straight forward design atm, lol

I'm not sure about the navigation on the left. I don't know what's wrong with it, but its just bugging me.
Maybe it's too busy, like the rest of the site is real clean and simple, and then there's that.

It's bugging me also. I'm going to find a workaround for that. It's because of the avatars.

Sorry Josh, but it's probably better to get this sorted sooner rather than later (seems to be a nav problem in ff too).

Ok, now that we have a name, anyone want to try and come up with a banner to fit in with this design? Need to have a max width of around 200px (maybe a little over) as there's quite a lot already in the header.

I'll see how I go time wise, I might be able to crack something up tomorrow or in the upcoming days.

For the record, it's going to go where the text (in the layout in first post) says "yourSITE" or in the screenshot Scott posted where the text says "Art Project" .... At least I'm assuming. I don't even know what's going on with the layout right now

As it stands at the moment -

Need to fix the sidebar images I know

Technically, the layout isn't sliced at all... I just normally do a flatten image in photoshop, and use the selection tool to c&p into a new document and save for web.... I don't like cluttering up the image folder with images I'm not using in the beginning of coding a new layout... loloh and I can't see the image. pretty much almost all the images are 403 forbiddens for me on here... Not sure why. Only happens to a good handful of images. I'll have to wait until I get home.

Ok, just saw the image. Vulture: Don't even try to fix those images and stuff.... You can just use PNG Alpha to make it so you do not have to line up the background diagonal lines. That's how I got the header shadows to work right without working with the background lines. All it would require is a freshly opened PSD with the background diagonal lines removed and then you use the semi-transparent shadow and save as PNG
