I've put a new template up on my site, at: http://jason-cole.com/files/Mi…..t%20Print/

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

I know that I need to add support for images floating to the left and right.

The text seems a little large to me. Also maybe add in a couple fancy styles for blockquotes, list orders, etc., then after it's done, submit it to GFWD

It seems a tad too plain for me. A few fancy styles like Sean suggested might be what it needs.

I agree with Sean and Jan. Too large text and too plain.

A tip for you "jazzing up" the layout with simple HTML Symbol Entities:

With a little creativity you can do a lot with it. Try it. Can be cool…

The gradient-border-background-image thing that you've got going is a tad choppy – I can see exactly where the gradient ends on my 720p screen.

Arial is good for body text, but maybe you want something a little more interesting for the headings? Maybe a nice serif font like Georgia?

Updated:

- new rounded-background with a wider page and smaller text.

 -new heading-style

 -tweaked other styles and fonts

 -added image support

Should I add support for input forms?


Updated again, with a real header. Hoping for feedback.

Well, I do like the rounded corners on the bottom, as well as the colors.

The new header looks great, it adds some much-needed definition to the design.

That looks a lot better Jason. Nicely done. I still feel that the text body fonts are too big. Maybe change the font size from 100% to 85% in your style sheet. Also, maybe style in a contact form too, but again, this looks a lot better from your first version.

Well, it will be in the queue in moments, now shipping with 7 colour schemes.
