Need banner suggestions

Post by **raztat** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:28 am

hey im making a site called daddygamers, its for upcoming or vet dads that enjoys playing games. The goal of the site is to find cheap ways to get games, and to get advice on raising kids.

Im trying to make a banner, its hard with my limited use of photoshop. It has to be 736 x 229 px, with the layout im using.

I was thinking of using this

you need guides on there like:

How to get more achievement point than your son. Ground him from the xbox360 so you can get caught up or pay to have his gamer tag changed to something close to your gamer tag.

How much benadryl can you give a kid until its considered illegal?

How to convince your wife Gears of War is "educational":

I guess this enplanes why I don't have kids.. I just don't want to have to share my toys with anyone else. :]

You're using relative positioning on your div tags. Change to absolute and it will render properly in both firefox and ie.

In Mac OS X Safari, the text at the bottom is super pixelated and small. And also, I think the picture at the top, of the controller, should be extended all the way to the right, if you cant make it longer without stretching it, try moving it to the right. Symmetry is boring. But other than that, the site is stellar!

Right now it kind of reminds me of those fake sites that are domain placeholders..... but once you fill it out, I think it will look fine.

As tbeeghly stated, the links at the bottom are too small. I can barely read them and I have to strain my eyes.
