Site design

LC, the rune banner currently seems to spill over (wrap around) onto the title, at least in FireFox.

Yeah, that happens if the browser window is less than 1200px wide. I'm pretty sure there's a way to get the two "fading" sections on the ends to stick off the edge of the page rather than wrap onto it, I just haven't figured it out yet.

I'm using Firefox, but with a rather large resolution. I'm pretty sure the site looks like absolute garbage on IE, etc. I'll deal with that soon, I guess.

2 Resources I've found extremely useful for some of the stuff I do:

Little Boxes (Yeah, that's what the site is called.

The Edge Very nice site with some good tips.

Ah, so it works through a link... That's actually quite clever, I think I'll like using CSS.

For a bare-bones template I started this morning, THIS is pretty slick.

Edit: I'm trying out some more freeform ways of setting up a navigation menu. Click on some stuff and try it out. Also, try resizing the screen to see where things go.

Oooh, pretty colors, but painful on my sensitive eyeballs :(

What kinds of plans do you have for your logo/banner for Jade Stage?

I might lighten up the background so that it matches the slightly paler green at the very left and right of the page, and set the logo and "rune strip" not to scroll with the rest of the page. (The content and menu would scroll up "under" the header.) On the other hand, that might look really dumb!

I think I want to lose the handwritten style for the banner, and somehow tie it into the more angular look of the runes. But then, I'm not really happy with the way the runes look at the moment either, so working too much on the logo seems a little premature.
