This is still a work in progress
Can you please have a look at the design for a site i'm developing called The Eerie Network.
http://website.lineone.net/~theeerienetwork/
I do have a domain name (eerie.net and eerie.org) but I have not got a host yet.
Thanx

In addition, I've also applied the design to my message board
http://eerie.community.everyone.net/
Which will be http://bbs.eerie.net/ (just not yet)
What do you think?
Thanx

1) Spread your logo out over to where the mail sign-in part starts. Then there wouldn't be any waste of space.
2) What is the site about? I would start the main content area off with maybe a one or two line description of the purpose of your site.
3) Center the site in the middle of the page.
4) I like the colors of the site, except for the background color. I don't know, I would experiment with a few different colors and see what you come up with.
Overall it looks pretty good and "eerie."

Is this signiture short enough?

Interesting. How come I get content in Netscape but not in IE 5? Huh? When I view source the content is in there, and nothing looks wrong with the code, but it's not showing up in IE. Very, very odd. Oh, okay, you've got your table heights set to 100%, and that's what's screwing it up. (I just had to save it and fiddle for a couple of minutes to see what the problem was. Yes, procrastinating). Get rid of that height =100% in the first ad table and it'll work fine.
Do you have to have that ad up there? I think it's really ruining the design. They're really distracting.
I agree that you should extend the header futher across the page to get rid of that space. I also think that the 2000 should be in a different colour. I don't know what though. Maybe a lighter blue or something like you used on the bbs. I dont' think the background colour looks bad - it contributes to the eerie look.
I don't really have much else to say. I think that the left side table should extend all the wya down to the bottom of the content area (it doesn't in netscape - try just adding abunch of P and BR's in there to create the extra space).
Oh, I have to say something about your content. Does your audience really want to read this? What happens to be here now is just you bitching (rahter harshly) about your day. Some people might be alienated by that and leave. DO they really want to read about your life? I would jsut put site updates in there, and as justin said, something about what your site is about.
Overall, it looks really good.
