Oh, wonderful, you’ve just saved me a lot of time with my glasses on top of my head staring at a computer screen far too closely.

Nice catch on the “hands” thing. I’ve caught a few typos here and there, but not all of them I’m sure. I wondered about the red headers, but they are actually site wide, although there’s not enough to tell that yet. I might make them a little smaller, but I like the red, it’s much better than the template’s other colors which included an awful orange.

As far as liking it, it’s hard to say. I think I actually like the idea of “it” more than I like “it” itself.

Oh no, don’t waste your time. I just spend all day working in Visio, aligning wireframes to grids so I tend to notice such things…

Must be because I didn’t even notice that. I think I can play around with the padding to see if I can fix that, but I assume the background is just an image, so anytime I add anything to the widgets I might have the same problem. Thanks for noticing though, I’ll mess around with it.

You’re off to a great start, my friend.

I like how the two right columns are arranged and ordered. The only two things I saw on the main page are “puts their life in my hand.” I would say “hands” plural. Maybe that’s a variable thing though. And I think the red news headers are way too big, especially because they’re red.

You have a big job. That must be stressful but you must like it a lot to be able to handle it.

LOL I’m sure it’s just the Information Architect in me (my day job), but it’s driving me nuts that your containers, widgets, etc. don’t align to the grid background!
