My New Website Program NXT

Post by nxtboyiii »

Hi,
I created a new website. www.programnxt.com

It is called Program NXT. Please tell others about it and put links to Program NXT from your website so my website can go up in google. :)
Please feel free to add comments to it or this post. :)

Thanks,
nxtboy III
Thanks, and have a nice day,

Nice - but the header's a bit too large (you should shrink it a bit) and it's colors should be modified to blend in with your site better. The background tiled mini-NXTs don't look good at all. They'd look better dulled with black. (Perhaps a 25% transparent [75% opaque] black layer on top?)

Thanks for the feedback. :)
I will try to do that. I don't know if I can make the header smaller...

Do you think you could make it look a little less busy and dark? I have added your blog to my RSS feeds and look forward to seeing your NeXT article :)

You also might want to consider posting with another name, rather than "admin". It looks a little less impersonal and makes it more "your" site. You can just create another user in Wordpress and assign the same administrative rights to it like the admin user.

Thanks for adding it! :)
I changed it up a bit.
I will probably change my username.

Looks great! Added it to my blog roll :) Except I also think the background's a bit busy; it might look better in black and white or something? But great site anyways!

Maybe a bit darker background, like this:

I know it's barely visible, but that's the entire point.

Perhaps a duller shade of white for the background would be better? #F0F0F0, for example; you can make it slightly brighter than that, of course: #F7F7F7. :)

That looks great!! One more suggestion: If you fade the very top of your header image (maybe like 75 pixels) to white, it'd integrate with your title really well. I think :). But looks really good anyways!
