    Can you check my corporate site and see if you see anything or if you see something small you can do to improve it I am open to that as well. Thanks. There were a few great people that worked on this project with me...

    Very nicely done RedSkillet. I loved the
    particular shade of blue that you used
    for the color theme. The only thing that
    bothered me were the navigation buttons.
    Were they supposed to be Times New Roman?
    Or did you forget to embed the specific
    font?

    Very smooth flowing colors. Good work.

    Nice site.

    The only criticism I would level at the site is that the text needs to be contained somehow so it doesn't spill into overlong sentences. Typographically speaking it is bad to let any text carry over more than two alphabets worth as it becomes difficult to read after this.

    Otherwise, pretty cool...

    Yes, good points. We have spent some time going over the content with PR and Journalist Specialist. I would love more feedback on maybe specific places you think you could help cut down some of this without loosing it's meaning. Please feel free to email me, I would love to hear from you.

    sounds like your flash player is updating...did you get a pop up from Macromedia to update your player?

    I don't mean actually drop some of the text, I just mean shorten the lines themselves so they become easier to read.

    Just as a very rough example, here's how it might look with a two column grid.



    Of course, you could put in any grid structure you want, three, four, whatever best suits your site. The shorter the lines the better really, hence newspapers have so many columns.

    reminds me of the macromedia site. im still not convinced by gradient fill backgrounds, they always look bad to me.
