Kinda boring desing, but I wanted something simple as I'll be skining it soon. (I mean proper skinning, not just colours.)

Also, yeah, whoo, minamalism.

So, here's the link [URL] http://iscribbler.com/0c.php [/URL], until the domain propogates.

Any thoughts?

Oh yeah - please refresh the page a couple of times. And it's all static and testy, so none of the links go anywhere.

One word.

Sweeeeeeet.

Loving the approach, it looks almost 'magazine' style.

Although I have one crtitc to it - The links, the colour is a bit too 'bright' if you ask me, hard to see on the white background.

Although, you said you'll be skinning it so, I dunno.

Pretty nice site. The "navigation bar", or whatever it should be called, blends in too much to the font. A darker colour would show the links better or a seperate frame with the links in it would make the page easier to navigate.

Frames???

*Head explodes*

Anyhoo, just realised how wierd the site looks in IE 6.

Ah well, damn them and thier incompatibility. I'm sticking with it.

Also, updated the links, now darker. Not much darker, it's a happy theme.

Y'know. Until you mentioned it. I didn't know such a thing even existed... So yes. You might need to fix that so morons like me notice it.

That's the general idea.

Think about it. When people first visit this particular site, all I'm aiming to draw attention to is the text on the right, the post, the article, whatever.

The navigation bar plays second fiddle, and, while it is important, (obviously), it's not as important as the main body of text. Hence it's opacity. (Or lack thereof.)

Meh. Thinking about adding a little Navigation: (in #333 or something along those lines) text to help guide some of you...

But I completely missed it.

I'd have read the article and gone off thinking "It's a shame that was it... It could have been a half decent site...".

Hypothetically if you'd have put something worth reading.

Heh.

As unlikely as that is, how's [URL] http://iscribbler.com/0c3.php [/URL]?

Dark to light now. Couple of other ideas too, but how's that?
