    Clean, good looking with alot of potentional when you come to the coding of the site.

    As many above commented the content box is a bit small, move it up to the left at the same vertical position as your nav bar. Then scale it up to the right end of the banner.

    The banner look a bit empty, make a nice logo and some catchy text and add to the left of the banner.

    Leave the navbar as it is, looks great and very handy width and I assume you will simply use dynamic heightscaling as you like it with html.

    Great job and be sure to save that page structure for later use!

    Thanks guys. Ibben, what's dynamic heightscaling. I might know what it is, just probably not familiar with the proper name for it. Could you please explain it? :huh:

    Thank you for the suggestion, as stated earlier, when I have enough time, I'll get to that. Unfortunately, my teachers are evil and pounding me with every bit of homework that they can.

    Sorry I might also have usen a bad word for it, what i mean it since you use 1 pixel black border you can set
    Code:
    right-border: 1px solid #000;
    left-border: 1px solid #000;
    
    and then the height to scale in percent depending of the resolution of your visitors screen (can be a good and a bad thing)

    if you for example you use a table then your html code might look like:

    Code:
    <table width="150">
    <tr>
       <th class="nav_head" >
          Navigation Bar
       </th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
       <td class="nav_main"height="100%">
         "Your Links"
       </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    
    And your corresponding CSS like this:
    Code:
    .nav_head
    {
       background-image: url('nav_head.jpg');
       background-color: #FFF;
       color: #000;
       text-align: center;
    }
    .nav_main
    {
       border-right: 1px solid #000;
       border-left: 1px solid #000;
       background-color: #FFF;
       color: #0B0BAB;
       text-align: center;
    }
    
    With height="100%" it will scale with the visitors height.

    gtg but good luck with the templating

    lol, cain are u coding dat or is someone else?
    cuz what i think ibben is talkin about is a content box that fits the size of a users screen.. cuz if u leave it like that and someone with resolution 1024 x 768 sees it.. the box looks so much smaller

    anyways nice template, but if u want to keep the box wid da copyright, why not try and add some more boxes, like a quick news box, an update box, but thats up to you, because for additional boxes you may havta expand the template a lil.

    Yeah, probably, I don't know, we'll see. I have finals next week, so right now I have loads of work to do, so changes will have to wait unfortunately. :(

    Yeah, that's more of what I was going for. The clean, professional look as opposed to a fun, wild look.
