Thread: A review please :)

Hey guys, I have been working on this site recently and only just had time to convert it to Wordpress over the past few days and I am looking to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you may have.

It isnt 100% complete yet, obviously as a lot of pages are missing, links are hashed and the search results page looks worse than, well anything out there that is crap but that will be fixed soon.

I have took previous advice and made some sprites for the sidebars link images but not applied that to the navigation and I am also aware that the myspace icons for the navigation need changing as it would most likely be copyright infringing. There isnt a favicon yet too but that is because I am undecided on what to do for the logo so the current one is a placeholder

I am a little unsure on the positioning of the submit button for the search, should that be centered vertically with the input or is it fine where it is?

Please take a look at a few pages too if you have the time:

Emo Icons

Birthday Comments

The layout is different for those because of the different content.

I look forward to hear your comments and any ideas for improvement

Thank you!

All I see when I dare look is columns of buttons - can you not break those up further?

What I was considering doing Frinkky is cutting the columns down but having a link at the bottom of each list in another colour saying click here for more and that would link to the pages I plan on doing for the main navigation links, which would be a full index for each category if you get me, that would help break it up a bit

Thanks.

looks likes its aimed at the correct market :P myspace users.

usability is where you are falling slightly. All the icons with copy text below is a little tricky to get the scroll right without copying stuff outside the box.

could add a button to "Copy to Clipboard" or something similar?

Thanks Tom

I was considering using Gigya Wildfire but I havent a clue about how to set it up, what it does it allows users to autopost the code to Myspace and all the other popular social networking sites with just a few clicks. The copy to clipboard thing seems hard to come by and half of them dont seem to work and the one I do like that works seems like it wont do the simple job I would want it to do. I will have a look around though, what I would want is just they click within the textarea and a popup says copied to clipboard as soon as they click perhaps but theyre just so hard to find, if you find one let me know please.

Thanks again!
