The added content, etc... Is just what is on the site now... So I copied and pasted it into the appropriate locations in order to give a perspective of where things would be placed... Please comment and leave suggestions.
Aren't all those posts soooo helpful? ^_^ I agree, it is absolutely awesome for a first, however there are a couple of things you could improve, which basically revolve around the text: The font you've used is too skinny - it's difficult to make out. Try using normal Arial, or Verdana instead. IPB uses Verdana. The titles for news. "Staff Article: Madden Nation Season 2 - Ballers Wanted". Try pputting the whole heading in white, and bold, but with the "Staff Articles:" part either underlines, or in red. The images (the faces), which I assume are the posters' avatars, look stretched... I realise you'll probably have different ones in the end, but even just in the template stage it might be nice to see pictures that... aren't... And apart from that it looks great. Well done. ^_^
As I said, those are contents taken from the CURRENT template and shrunken down to fit into their appropriate boxes on THIS template lol... They don't really look like that at all... They were just squeezed and fitted in for the owner of the site.
