Ok, I finally got around to working on my "consulting" site again last night. All CSS, no tables.

This site will be where I post my resume, a blog, articles, project plans, etc..

Please let me know how you like the layout, color scheme, and so on. No content as yet, but it's a start.

http://iknowkungfoo.com/ - Basic shell

http://iknowkungfoo.com/?sample - blog/article entry with code.

I'm concerned at how to get the code snippets to "overflow" their <pre> area correctly. In Firefox, the area scrolls as the window shrinks, but in IE, the middle area stretches to the right, filling the screen unless I put in a "width" style for that tag.

Can't say I'm a fan of the layout really, Adrian. Maybe it'll look better when it's filled in with some content.

Wanna make up a little test case for your <pre> issues?

looks very functional. The banner up top has a line showing up on the right hand side, and the purple used for the banners seems to clash to me. But the basic / clean cut look isn't bad at all.

I think I've fixed the issue with the <pre> tag:

the purple background is fine, the purple you're using for the banners though seems a little much. I know that's not very helpful, but I'm distracted by it when I look at the page.

Adrian, I see you posted your message on wednesday - sorry for the slow reply. My cable line got struck by lightning monday night, and I just got a new cable modem today.

I think the design of your site is fine - very clean, slightly quirky (the colors and logo), and the information you have is easy to find. I don't think that it adequately expresses who you are though. Since it is a site for posting your resume, I would go either completely conservative or make it more expressive of you. If you decide to make it more expressive, you could make the theme play more off the url with fun visual examples of a kung-foo coder.

I like it, it's a nice look for a site. I've put together uglier things for clients who wanted them. I know you never asked for advice, but since everyone else is doling it out, I thought I would chime in. I would lighten the gray a bit though to make the text more readable. Black on medium gray is hard for me to read at times. In fact, you might be better served by an off white color somewhere in the vicinity of #FFFFE8 or #EEF2EF. Just a thought.
