I think the best thing to do is just take a step back and start working on the content. If I have to keep using the current fanlisting layout for now, so be it.

I get this often. I'll make a layout and think it looks amazing but then I go to code it and decide I hate it. Also sometimes trying to pick fonts breaks my awesome layout because I can't find the right one that works. Oh my gosh, the fonts! Yes! I think I've shuffled the fonts around like crazy! I...

I've found that it helps me significantly to leave a layout over night after struggling with it all day, and look at it again the next day. Usually, it looks better by then, or at least I'm in a more forgiving mood by then lmao. I guess that's the case for me, too. I'm looking at one I had tossed o...

I keep getting the layout and graphics "the way I want it," then suddenly decide I hate it and I have to start again. *sigh* Oh! Then I have regrets and decide some former version had been "perfect" and I messed it up. I swear this shrine is never going to be up and running, it's...

Yeah, I'm definitely going large for my shrine content. There's no way to make the reading enjoyable without some size and contrast. :-)

Personally, I prefer a lower contrast with gray on grays or dark grays on a texture. I definitely agree! Black on white/white on black actually...

I'm a bit late to the topic, but glad to see you were able to make a decision! Are you going to have EveryBrodyMovie.com direct to the fanlisting/shrine then? :D I definitely understand what you're saying about "formal" reviews not always being ideal depending on what it is that you want ...

If a website has a lot of content (a lot of text to read), do you prefer a dark background with lighter text, or a lighter background with darker text?

For me it's either a picture on top and the content under it, or a picture on the left and the content on the right. I use divs too. I usually put the navigation on the picture or on the main page depending on how many sections and subsections there are. Cool! Yeah, I usually do "picture left,...

I'm just getting started, but as others have said, it would depend upon how much I have to say. I'm thinking if I made a shrine, it would be like a main topic (like, say, Michael Jackson), then some one-pagers for each of his albums or short films/videos. But tied together (kind of like Todd has his...
