I have this blog, and some constructive criticism would be nice. Never mind that some of the links don't work, and that the site's mostly Norwegian. I'd just like to know what you feel about the design.

I'm using WordPress.

(I know I haven't been here for ages. School's my excuse...)

Other than it being slightly too narrow (my resolution = 1440 x 900), it looks ok. LOT of scrolling though. original.gif

I like the nice, simple look, but I too think there's a bit too much scroll. Don't mind it being narrow, though.

I think the design looks great in 800x600 or 1024x768. Anything higher and it looks a bit too spaced out. Any possibility you could convert it to a percentage width?

The scrolling issue could be solved with archives and only viewing a certain number of entries.

Otherwise, I really like the design. The black background with a blue foreground is something I don't see often at all, but it goes really well together. I like when people can actually use a black background well and make it look clean, clear, and still professional. It's a bit harder to do than with a white background (imo).

Thanks a lot for the replies original.gif

I'm not quite sure if I want to make the site wider. Narrow designs are sort of my "thing". I will think about it though.
I've limited the number of blogposts per page from 10 to 5. Hope that improved the scrolling.

I've tried, but with my limited CSS knowledge it didn't work (well, it worked in FF and Safari, but not IE), and I prefer not to use tables. I would also have to change the header image for that to work...

I'll see what I can do about the archive. I just need to find the file where I can translate the name of the months from English to Norwegian.

Thanks again for the feedback original.gif

There isn't that much scroll on mine. Nice blog-site, well done. original.gif

Yes, he updated it from 10 last entries to 5. It's much better with the scrolling. wink.gif

Good. Thanks for the help original.gif

I've translated some of the language and added the archive as well. Hopefully it will improve the navigation on my site a bit.
