My immediate recations were:
- It looks quite good! But...
- The top bar takes more than 20% of my available browser window (1152x860
display), but doesn't have content to match.
- Why isn't the search in the top bar? That's where I'd expect it.
- The black box around each news item is too distinct. I'd be happy with
just a single line between items.
- The 'Read on...' links are confusing and takes a lot of space (sometimes).
What's the difference between: "Read the whole announcement.", "Read the
entire announcement.", "Read SCLTC's entire announcement.", "Read the
details.", "Read the official announcement.", "Read more about BrickJournal
5."?
"Read more..." or just "More..." should be enough
- The bold header for each item could be smaller and still stand out.
- I actually expected the bold header to take me to the articles, too.
- Today, most people use the word "Forum" instead of "Newsgroup" - might
make it easier for newbies to realize what's behind the links ("News" is
uninspiring info written by others, "Forum" is where I can talk myself :-)
- Maybe the "Top Stories" header should be qualified "from the Forums"
- Don't know if it is my FireFox, but the line spacing seems a bit too
wide - lot's of space wasted. No, just checked, and it's even more unused
space in IE6, FF actually shows more content, despite its tabs. You should
definitely be able to show more than three items on a 1152x864 screen.
All of the above is IMO, of course.
