Just wondering if you could give me your opinion on Crystal Blaze, everything really. Layout, content, images, userability. You name it. Constructive critisism is welcome!

The text is very smalll and the grey hyperliks are even harder to read.
Personally don't like the centered text.
What is the purpose of the site, you don't say -> try including some of your meta data in an introduction...

I gotta agree with the points jabba mantioned, with the small font and light shades everything seems abit spaced out and part of the background. Consider grouping the content text a little more and make those affiliate links not so faded out. I know the design has been made expandable to fit different screen resolutions, that is thoughtful, however your header image doesn't really work with this. On high res. you get gaps from the sides and this adds to the spacyness feel. One suggestion is to stick that top image all the way on the left and use a gradiant fade on the image so it fades into the background colour left-to-right....like i said tho, just a suggestion.

On a positive note, the site functions well (bar a couple erronous links i.e 'The Staff'). I really like that background shade used there, very soft and easy on the eyes and it goes well with your header image, which is also nice

Hope this helps..

Thanks for all the Suggestions guys. I've never really thought about the text like that, never seen it as a problem. I'll see what I can do about that. And I can understand what you said about the centred text, but thats probebly mainly because of the short paragraphs in the news. Oh, and I'm about to put in an Introduction.

I like the idea about the gradient banner, and will incorparate that as soon as possible. Thanks for that. And the links that don't work are too the forums, which are for some unknown reason down right now....

Thanks the the tips and compliments Jabba and Cosy

Looks nice Do you think that it is maybe too wide... I'm viewing in 800 x 600 and I have to scroll sideways Just a thought...

Maybe you should make those affiliate links a bit darker as well as the other guys said.

Otherwise looks good - hope it goes well

Well, the site looks mostly good, i'd change the centred text to regular and change that cross you get when you hover the mouse above the underlined part in a link.
