I've found that colors like lime green are stressing on some users eyes. Maybe using a darker color as your background would help.

I tried putting all the text at serif, and I'm afraid it looked pretty bad. I kinda like the way it's seperated. What do others think?

Also, I tried putting "form input submit:hover" and I coudn't get a rollover on it.

Blend better? I have my pictures fade in with my background, usually. I don't use transparency because I really like .png I don't know why, but I do. I guess they save small, and have all the colors you could ask for, but I don't really see a reason to go transparent when I can just go with the background collor. Once I pick a difenitive color, I usually just stay with it.

It looks like you've got it now!

The only thing I might add is you might want to start experimenting with creating images with transparent backgrounds so they blend in better with your site.

Excellent work!
Keep going.

I think you're refering to the way IE handles forms, in highlighted the login button with black when you click on the text boxes (sometimes automatically when you get to the page, too). I like lime green, . The current adaptation I'm working on for a friend uses a light purple background, but keeps the same links and borders. I'll post a review request of that when I'm finished.

It's not a big deal. I think it has to do with my preferance to have uniformity through out the page. Basically, when you mouse over the three main buttons (like home) the buttons change color. But this does not happen when you mouse over the login.

I think it just struck my eye because of how close the two are together on the template.

Yep nice. But again I have to point out like others that the font should all be the same, I like the body font go with that. Also the username / password looks a bit squashed in. perhaps you could give the borders a little nudge. Good job otherwise.

I agree with everyone else. It looks like a good template (minus the lime green). The only think I am a little curious about is why the Login button is done differently then the rest of the buttons on the page. Besides that the only thing I didn't like was the fact that I can't read a word on in, LOL.

Good template.

Thanks for the feedback. Pittbug, I'll look into that.

Excellent. Not struck on lime green either but nice, very nice.
