With the recent complaints about the work I have been doing, I want to try to solicit some constructive criticism on just two (2) items.



The Home Page Layout (not the content)
The NAVIGATION Bar at the top [Home][Forum][Blogs][... etc...

I am trying to use a new Content Management System (CMS) that will help organize content so I can better present GOOD content to everyone. Forum postings are not the only way, nor the best way to do this.

I originally started off with the BASE Wiki (http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/wiki/BASE_Wiki:Index), now I wanted to make certain articles more concrete with the CMS (http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/content.php)

I originally kept the articles that where default so that I could have a reference as to the changes I needed to make. But after some harsh comments today, I have removed most of them and will just do things that hard way as usual.

So, if it is NOT too much to ask, can someone give me some constructive criticism please to help me make this better?

note: I am reaching out to Abbie and Nate for help with the old button color scheme if that has been an issue for anyone...

I like the new layout! Navigation bar works fine. The only issue I noticed (see screen cap) is the bottom discussion bar.
I'm on Firefox 3.6.3 for OS X
