It looks nice, I just hope the white background will be... less white, thanks.

Originally posted by Rabauke View PostThe screenshot looks like it's been taken on a 4:3 Display. How will it look on a 16:9 screen? Will it be aligned to the left? Then you should move the right-hand sidebar to the left in order to have the main articles more centered. And why is the sidebar not aligned to the top-bar's right edge leaving a vertical white gap?
* width and height (of the browser window)
* device width and height
* orientation ? for example is a phone in landscape or portrait mode?
* resolution
Using all this info, the page is re-aligned to look really nice no matter what device or window size one has. Take a look at http://metronews.ca/ and see how it looks just by resizing your window. At virtually any size, the site is very readable and visually very appealing. IMHO, this is the best way to design a website, considering the wide variety of screen sizes today.

Originally posted by Zeroedout View PostThat is correct about the web page I linked to, however, assuming I understand this correctly, one can make it use that space for higher resolutions as well. See http://www.makersquarter.com/ for a better example. Also http://www.awwwards.com/websites/responsive-design/ has some websites that resize to very low and very high resolutions equally well.

previous / next
The website always looked uncool , tired and oldish.
But I'm more about the content. The new look is not bad. mbit suggestions are great.
now that you're overhauling that, I'd like to express a couple of wishes to improve the readability of articles:- put a link to PREVIOUS/NEXT ARTICLE at the end of each article page. I'm reading once every 2 days, so at least a dozen unread articles stack up since the last visit, and I don't like to go back to home page each time.
- put a decent/modern image gallery browser. Like those popping up on a semitransparent black, complete with PREVIUOS / NEXT image arrow link. Oh, and choose one of those viewers maximizing/fitting the image size to the browser screen! It's unbelievably annoying to bounce back and forth the main article just to browse the attached figures!!!!!!
have a nice coding/designingLast edited by TeoLinuX; 14 June 2013, 08:54 AM.
