Hey everybody,
So this is my latest website. http://www.bathroomwriter.com
My goal for this one was to build and incorporate a CMS, for my own personal experience and so I can incorporate it on client's websites.

I can post images of the CMS over the next few days as it grows, but right now I have the Media Manager and the Writer working just how I want it.

But take a look at the user side and see what you think could be improved upon. This is only Mark I of the site design wise, so I'm more than willing to change most things.

(I know the copy isn't very eye-friendly, but I've just been pre-occupied. )
Still, I look forward to your input.

Cheers

The header is huge!

[dflynn]

Is that a criticism or an exclamation?
I like the large header, but I think I'd like to use it as an index page only piece. Do you think it's safe to alter the header that much on other pages? or do you think it will feel like a completely different site?

[webmaster]

Well, that header is way to big, maybe you should use 50% of it or something like that. I'm guessing you're having pretty high resolution on your monitor. Try changing it to 1024x768 and you'll see the problem.

36% of users still use 1024x768 (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp)

[dflynn]

I see your point. Valid.

More content, reduce the head of the site, correct deficiencies in the column about the author

[dflynn]

Webmaster: Alright, I cut off about 175 pixels from the header and moved the page up.

Suffer: I have no idea what you are talking about.
