So what do yu think?

I just redesigned my wife's blog (heavily ported from an existing template by imediatech.biz). Take a look...

Breast Cancer Victory

I'm proud of my wife and her incredible strength. I wanted to do my part

That said, any suggestions or comments? I'm looking for navigation or usability issues.

Hey Michel, I gotta tell you it looks MUCH better. The are two things.

It's SOOO pink. It looks great on the page, but I would do a much lighter pink on the sides with some gradient and it will make the actual page "pop" more and look better.

Also, your "SUBSCRIBE" button under Email Updates is inside the subscribe button, it looks really weird, probably a quick fix.

Great job Michel.

Yeah,
I was lurking around the site yesterday evening and noticed the changes.

I love the new header - Great picture of beautiful Sylvie.

Haven't noticed any navigational problems, but I'll let you know if I do.

Yeah Fortin, a bit too much pink on the page.

The header is good, but I'd look at removing the pink block of copy below it.

The headlines are just fine in pink.

I would change the pink background to another color.

If I don't forget, I'll pull out my color wheel tonight and see what other color(s) might be better for the background and compliment the pink header and headlines.

This should be interesting.

Work your magic Subtle.

Hi michel

I enjoyed the new look of the blog, the color and the layout too, I was just thinking about :

1) left and right padding (margin) a more big one would be better, the pase is too wide.

2) background color :a white one should make it great it will delimit the page.

3) the halo on the picture and the shadow (make them in the same color range) like yours in a header may be good , and what about a picture without halo and shadow?

4) the font color of "BreastCancer" in the headline and how it interract with the background.

5) the font color of this following text in Donate page :

this is my modest vision hope that it help.

Since I don't know the exact color of the pink you're using, it's a teeny bit tough trying to pick out the the exact triad and tetrad matches.

here are 2 samples from the triad and 1 from the tetrad wheel:

what about this one :

look to the attachement.

the BMP version is more clear , but more huge too

Mr Surbtile what about texture background not just uniform color?

Geesh Jay,
Didn't mean to cause so much stress on your end!

BTW - There ain't anyone in this place that can beat your talent!

One of these days... one of these days when I'm a rich old codger, I'm going to have so much work for you that you won't have time to visit these forums...
