And now for something completely different....

http://www.bucketofawesome.com/

Really the design I meant to do something different than what I normally do. So.... my main regret is the left margin is too much, and i'm not sure how it will work on smaller res monitors.

But let me know what you think. The skin or pages are by no means done , I just started making it work tonight so its completely in the construction stages.

I like the skin it is a little large for some screen resolutions like you said but not terrible. Good job, can't wait to see it when it is finished.

thanks for looking.

is the font conference area too small for viewing? Should I just turn that into a screenshot of the video (but disguised so it looks like it does now) and then when they click it goes to a fuller size?

I am assuming you are talking about the front page? If that is correct I don't see any reason to increase the font size, I am by no means running a huge resolution but I can read it fairly easily from a couple of feet away with Font size (in the browser options) set to medium (which I believe is standard).

You may want to thing about increasing your navbar link size jus tto make them a bit more distinguished against the banner of awesome, but other than that I think it looks great.

One thing I would like to point out about th esite (that you will probably be getting to any moment now) is that on your Submission Center Page you have asection of text that says it is a link

This is not the contact form…. for that click here.
that doesn't actually have a link so you may want to update that.

thanks again, yeah i'm definitely gonna seperate the nav bar from the rest somehow.bold it or make them pop more.

i didn't mean the font size on the font conference part i meant the video itself.

i'm all photoshop. and to respond to the questions in your message : no, there isn't anything like it thats free. you have your gimp-nerds and your fireworks-hacks but photoshop still remains head and shoulders above the rest.

Let me see if I understand the site's premise since I didn't see an "about" tab. People submit links for videos, pics, etc... things they think are awesome and the editors review the submissions and post them?

Is it a community blog of sorts?

Thanks for the info, I'm not sure if I can come up with $600. Every job that isn't mowing lawns is 16+. Ha.
