Hey everyone! A lot of you already know me... I am the creator of Time To Rant. I decided to change the name of Time To Rant to XPofLife. When I did this, I thought it would be an easy and quick process. I jumped in head first and basically screwed up the process completely!

I ended up, somehow, deleting my entire site that hosted Time To Rant... so I had to build a brand new site.

That is what I am looking for feedback on. Currently the site is in it's basic form. I haven't added the contact me or about me pages yet. I haven't added a donate button. I would like your suggestions on what I should add from the point I am currently at. I would also like your opinion on the style of the new site.

Any and all feedback would be awesome!!!

Here is the site: http://www.XPofLife.com

Well, I think the current background showing shrunk views of various strips is a little confusing--it definitely distracts from the currently viewed strip.

I agree with smbhax.com on the background. It's very distracting. Maybe something more neutral-looking like a metallic looking background, if you don't want a straight gray.

Well that sucks.. LOL. That is the only part of the website I actually really like. Any thoughts?? Do you think it could just be the contrast that is distracting?? What if I add a red tint to it to help it blend a bit better?


On a completely random note.... My right side bar isn't working. There are two widgets showing up on my page in the rights sidebar that are not listed under the right side bar area of my wordpress admin. When I do put widgets in it... they don't show up. Any thoughts?

With regards to the background, maybe "fading" it might help. I find it draws the eye away from the comic, so perhaps dropping the contrast or making it faint. That way the "montage" of comics can stay in the background, but it won't distract the reader.

yeah... I am gonna try to work on it. I have been playing with the hues, but can't seem to get them right. I have made the image a little less in your face, but I think I need to make it a little more bland.

UPDATE on the right sidebar issue... it seems to have fixed itself. Very weird.
