Heebie, heebie, heebie. Do you still not understand about the tiny text? Or did you do that just to bug me Really, this has got to be the tiniest I've seen on a web page. Do I have to say it again??? Text should be comfortably readable. Choosing a font size is like selecting a volume for music at a party. You want it loud enough so people can hear it, but low enough that they can still hear each other talk. Sans serif fonts are usually best at about 80-90% of normal. Large enough that people can read it comfortably, yet small enough that it doesn't interfere with the design. Unless, of course, you DON'T want people to read it. Then you can make it as small as you want (like playing music as loud as you want, so people can't talk ).
Otherewise this looks pretty good. Did you do this from a template or did you make it yourself? I think the Heebie button should be moved a little more to the right. I don't see a lot that seems to relate to the game you're talking about though. Gaming sites are usually pretty dark but I really have no idea bout this one you're talking about. On the pages that have a internal navigation areal, it should be moved up above the login box (why would anyone need to login here, anyway???). I didn't see it at first, and didn't realize there was more information.
Personally, I like tiny text. Big text is all pixely and rough, while small text is smooth and clear. But sometimes it can be too small. I think your text size is spot-on, but that's my opinion.
The layout is great. If really adds a feel to the site, which brings me to my next point.
Your site doesn't seem to have a point. I know you said it's a place for all your projects and such, but it should have some parametres to what you add.
Other than that, your site is better than anything I have ever attempted. WELL DONE HEEBIE!
P.S. What's a rhinoceros and elephant? I mean, I know they are animals but I don't think you are talking about them in your site. :roll:

- Thanks for your feedback
- I made the site using 'Exponent CMS'
- I do not have full WYSIWYG control over my layout
- The site is just a place to put all my stuff. I think the object is that people will be referred to individual sections (eg. promotions for my GTA3 bot on Grand Theft Auto websites). I suppose it's just like a server where I store all my projects - I want to have them all under one roof and all of them to have the same "heebie" identity (hence using the logo as my avatar)
- The "rhinoceros or elephant" bit is just random and is meant to make you laugh.
You are the perfect example of what I'm always telling people when I review websites. You use your space efficiently. There is nothing more important than making your viewer happy with the amount of scrolling that they have to do. There is no horizontal scroll bar. The stuff that you want people to see is within the fold. The Contact form is conveniently placed just below the fold so that your ADHD users that don't go that far won't bother you (did you do that intentionally? jkjk) and most importantly the content is worthwhile. Those templates that you have there are pretty nice. I'd personally put a few more of the free ones in, but what good does that do you? don't pay the bills by giving people free stuff (although you can put your copyright info and your link onto your free templates) Anyway, I've rambles enough. Great website, all in all.
The logo of the H is pretty boring, try upgrading the logo.

I like the layout and the colours, infact I like everything about it except the game..I don't like puzzle games.

Thanks for the comments - it's good to see at least one person hasn't been touched by the sudoku bug!

Not bad. I like the layout. But you definitely need to add more colors and graphics.

So you don't like the 'keep it simple' idea? flickr hasn't got many graphics (apart from all the photos, obviously) and that's pretty successful
