We get paid for this, right? ;)

The page numbers are not intuitive. I had to click on them to see what they were numbers OF. A simple vertical "Pages" at the top would help.

The /tag/main looks fine except for the right sidebar. It's frozen and you can't see it from #15 down within Netscape 7.2.

Hope this helps,

@mike: by figuring out where stuff was... which stuff do you mean? Like how to find categories, etc? Or that there was just so much going on in one page...

Does this look better: http://engtech.wordpress.com/tag/main

But seriously, I was looking at the content. Dropping into the page and paging down, it was kind of hard figuring out where stuff was.

Font is too loud, like yelling. Shrink the whole thing down by 10% and I might love it, though.

I knew I was in trouble when my sidebar has a sidebar.

I'm playing around with the idea of this structure:
http://engtech.wordpress.com --> portal page
http://engtech.wordpress.com/blog -> blog posts, full (what http://engtech.wordpress.com is now)
http://engtech.wordpress.com/tag/main -> blog posts with excerpts

I'm having trouble accepting the fact that the design is too complicated... so I'm looking for criticism like "when I look at it I don't know what this means?". How people actually would navigate, etc.

I use to change something every week or so and regretted after. Just save everything on Notepad first. The first time I didn't save it, I had to start from zero and lost everything on my sidebars.

they don't have quite the server load that browsershots does, so you don't have to wait in queue.

As to cross borwser, you can test it at http://browsershots.org if you want.

I ask because if you care your blog to look good only in Firefox and IE then those will be the browsers I'll use.

BTW, lovely cat. I have two :D

I'm using IE6. When you hover the cursor over the name of the contributor, the name jumps back to the right, but not the text.

I'm a little worried that I've made the side hopelessly more complicated... so mentioning anything that's weird or doesn't make sense would be very much appreciated.
