So after watching Casino Royale (which was fucking awesome by the way), I recall that both Daniel Craig and Eva Green are going to be in the film adaptations of His Dark Materials, which only makes me want to re-read the books more.
They're ok books. About as subtle as a kick in the teeth but worth reading.
Well they were basically the most amazing thing I had ever read in my life when I was 12, and I still really like them now, so that counts for a lot. I haven't read them in a few years and I'm about to start The Golden Compass in about ten seconds, so I'll see if they're as unsubtle as you said.
To me, the books are basically the antithesis of The Chronicles of Narnia.
Feral (and anyone else that wants to look): How does this look to you for the time being? Until I can figure out rounded borders. Just from a data layout/presentation perspective?

Yah, I tried it and it did work...I put the center tags exactly there.
Are the margins a little weird to you? They should be 5 pixels all around...meaning except for the very bottom right the gray "lines" should be equal width all over the page.

In IE, the side borders look bigger than 5px. And the bottom border is definitly bigger than 5 px.

So this is the last day of Spring Break for me. Tomorrow it's back to school. Two weeks before SB, we turned in a six page paper in my Consumer Culture class. I did a book review, but did it extremely last minute, went over by two pages, and mostly summarized the book with little, if any, real analysis. So I turned it in fearing a horrible grade. The week before SB we got our papers back. I just put my in my backpack, not wanting to take the hit then and there. The instructor said that a lot of people merely summarized with little analysis, so she would let us redo the papers and average the two grades. Cut to today, the day before class. If I'm going to rewrite it, it'll have to be tonight and tomorrow morning. So I pull the paper out and flip to the back page, expecting to see a C- or D.

Well fuck that, I can live with a B very comfortably.
Ahhh -- no, I don't like any of those. Seriously, my advice would be to leave the boxes themselves, the color inside them as white or white and grey alternating, and then just mess with title and border colors.
Ovechkin is so underrated compared to Crosby, it's pathetic.
People with slow connections still need to know the truth, Senj. Watching that over (and over and over) I've decided the reactions of the defenseman and the goalie are maybe the best part.
OK, thanks. I guess I'll just leave it for a bit and start working on a template for the stories portion of the site. I wish I knew with the margins were off for IE. Fucking CSS.

Fucking IE, you mean. CSS is fine, it's just that Microsoft can't write not completely buggy, broken CSS support to save their lives.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I've been at this for the last 7-8 hours, so my brain is getting a little warped.
Thanks. I feel like the almost-white shades are a little bland, but my next goal is to figure out how to turn these boxes into rounded-corner ones, and I think that might spruce up the look a bit.

Awesome.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

You don't have to read the poems, just curious about the layout...readable?
Yup. Also the Paradise series.
Also, yes they are readable, but I don´t like the baby blue. Just saying.
When I encapsulate my DIVs in a <CENTER></CENTER> tag team it seems to center-align the text in each DIV as well...
edit: Actually that worked, but the margins are still off. Hmm.
Thanks!
Hap: I know, the pastels are a little annoying to me too...I'm looking into alternatives.

Certainly readable, but I don't like the colors.
I want to make it as readable as possible without being too bland.
P.S. I'm trying to pull from the 216 "web-safe" colors.
Better, but not quite there yet.

I've never been good at picking color schemes.
Also, whoohoo, Gim!
Edit: Mybe cel is on to something. Try a pinkish tone and the yellow you had at the beginning.
linked for teh huuuuge
don't forget the pink ribbon!
@ Drez: That looks like Turbo Pascal circa DOS 3.2 (colortest 4, I mean).
Colortest 5 just looks 10 kinds of foul.
Which? Blue/blue or purple/brown?
The purple is good, but use something brighter as the second colour. (you totally don´t have to listen to me, but I am picky ;-))
Blue/blue looks like DOS
brown/purple looks like a cry for a remedial course in complementary colors.

First one's for you, cel.
How about #8? Both #7 and #8 have subtle shade differences.
8 is ok.
Simple and easy to look at :^:
