Nice site, I didn't spend much time with it, but when I opened it up, I immidately found something I don't like. The nav bar on the upper right is a layer. This layer is "floating" so that when the window is resized, that layer ends up all over the page. Especially over the title of the page. I don't know if this makes sense, but if it doesn't try resizing your browser and move it around, you will see what I mean. I had a hard time with that on my website and I ended up using either tables or frames to confine the navbar.

just my first impression

Hmm.. I think I will use a table for the header... I've been told it does not work on 800x600 either. Thanks...

Please don't use tables or frames. The reason everyone went div & css is because it's flexible for design purposes.

Instead of setting your logo as a background, make it an image in a fixed width div (or set it as the background image in a fixed width div). Then change your nav div from float:right to a fixed margin-left equal to your logo div width and it'll stay put.

There's no reason to use tables for layout unless the content itself necessitates it.

Thanks Mike! My logo is a text btw.

I added a margin-left to the right nav, so now the logo and the nav do not overlap, but i do want the nav to float the right side of the page no matter what screen size you have, except when its 800, then i want a scrollbar. So I want it to slide, then stop at the margin... Right now, when i shrink the screen to 800, the right nav start to slide down (at least it does that on firefox, on IE it still overlaps :().

The reason i want the nav to float is that when the screen is 1200 width the comment section appears on the right side (javascript code).

Any other suggestions?
