Hello Firing Squad!
This is my first phpwcms design, and I'm still working out all the kinds and fiddling with the design, but I wanted to see what people thought! Nothing too fancy, pretty straight forward. I'll probably customize the menu a little more once I get the file upload situation fixed!
Let me know what you think! Thanks!

David,
I would move the menu in the header to the bottom, it does not fit there....leave as a footer...It sort of takes away the impact of the logo
I like the roots in the navigation

Hey Trip,
Thanks for checking it out! I moved the nav to the bottom and it definitely helps out! Now, if I could only get it to look exactly the same in IE as it does in every other browser!
Silly microsoft!

You can easily achieve this by respecting the little thing called
boxmodelhack

Hi
I would still move the footer outside the box containing the content...
Maybe also look into deleting the lines out of the actual navigation...? I wonder what this might look like

Hi, when you get problems with FF/Safari/IE, just try little "hacks" (not THE correct method, but works...) with the css,
i.e.:
in ur css (box) you got a height explorer doesn't respect, say
Code: Select all
#mainBlock {
background-color: #F9F6CA;
margin-left: 144px;
min-height: 500px;
}
That is for css-compliant browsers (they understand the min-height), then you add a non-compliant line for IE, the trick is adding
before your css code
would look something like this:
Code: Select all
* html #mainBlock {
height: 500px; /* css hack for MAC + IE always 500 min, otherwise extends automatically */
}
Hope this can help,
Cheers

Hmm,
I think I will have to try that. It's very odd indeed, but that's the way it goes, right? Thanks for everyone's input, this is really helpful stuff!
