I like the site it suits your topic especially the ads it seems to be showing fashion ads which is good, the title could be a little sharper, I have my screen on a wide resolution too and its really malformed perhaps you could optimize it all for 1024 x 768 as the survey we did on this forum proved it was the most common resolution.

Good luck, Just need to add some pages and then your ready to start promoting great job on the design though as usual!

Good, While were on the topic I find Web Developer Tool Bar, and FireBug both Firefox extensions or add ons a great help to me when monetizing my site to fit in with other browsers, I use IE7 for general browsing but if I want to troubleshoot someone's site FF is definitely your best bet.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1

Web Developer (includes resolution switches) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60

FireBug (shows every single error or problem, and every piece of your site and what it is made up of ie. images, scripts, css)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

& augenauf is there many people interested in these kind of thing I never really explored the kind of fashion era personally is it quite a big hit like gothic, and punk clothing?

Hey thanks! Maybe I'll use that since I have to test stuff in Firefox anyway -grumbles-



Gothic and punk are two styles of alternative clothing that are a big hit. =D There are lesser-known styles (most noteably lolita and cyber, and to a lesser-extent industrial) that have growing fan bases. =)

I like the design template. I simply love the aesthetics of the nav menus and the background. The content is also interesting and is targeted at your desired audience.

Here are a few things I would change to improve the experience of the design you have.

I like the zoom menu. I think you may want to consider a few things here. Consider changing the padding-right on list selector to 0.5em. I think this is what's causing your nav links to push over. 1px = 0.06em which is smaller than 0.5em padding you have on the a selector. Use the Em Calculator when converting px to em. If you decide to keep the zoom effect, you may want to consider making your main content div wider so that it accommodates the second nav bar.

I don't like the scroll inside the scroll on the page because when I scroll to the bottom of the main content, the entire page scrolls. Bringing the google add on the right a bit higher on the page may fix this.

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about when you say push over. The scroll inside the page can't be helped, if you don't like it you'll have to switch to IE. xD

I'm using FF with IE extension and I viewed your site in both FF, IE7 and IE6. Your menu list items pushes over in all three on hover. When I say push over, I mean that the list item I'm hovering pushes all other list items to the right over to the right. The second nav bar looks just fine in IE6&7 but not FF.

I don't understand why the inside scroll can't be helped.

I'm just trying to be helpful.

Ooooh! I see. ^^'; The hover is caused by a code somewhere in there "text-transform:uppercase" and it's intentional. =)

The inside scroll bar can be helped in IE because the white background surrounds the text no matter how much text their is and it streaches the entire page. For some reason,the white background ends in firefox where ever your page does, so if the text is longer than the box, towards the bottom the text is just on the stripe background and it's hard to read. SO, in firefox, if the text is longer than the box, you have an inside scroll.

I can't really figure out any other way around that XD

Oh, I thought perhaps you could use padding or margins and get rid of the push.

Perhaps using a wrapper div would help? This way you can size the width and put everything in it. You can even place the G ad inside the wrapper div.

I think I like the google ad outside better, but tell me more about this wrapper div. O: Where might I learn more?

A wrapper or container div is a div that holds everything else in it. You can place all your content inside of it. By using this, you can position all of your content (down, left, right, center, etc).

Like so:

Code:
<body>
<div id="container">

<div class="top">
</div>

<div class="middle">
</div>

<div class="bottom">
</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>
