I heart rounded corners big_smile I use them on my own Arras gaming site: www.geeksofgaming.net

I like this, you've changed it enough to differ from the original smile  although I noticed your media widget in the right sidebar seems to be cutting off the edges of the thumbnails (I am using Firefox, let me know if this is just me).

One other thing (sorry!) not all of your corners are rounded, perhaps it would look tidier if you rounded them all off (I am referring to the ones at the very bottom)

Other than that, I really like it! smile

Re: greyfox.me - a blog about gaming and me

Ooh also I have to ask, where did you get that little social networking doohickey at the end of each post? smile

I am using Firefox too and I don't get that. I do get some weird behavior in chrome that I haven't fixed yet though. When it comes to Comics, Images and Videos I actually only use a 190x100 sized custom made thumb which might be the reason you might think this here.

I have added some more rounded corners now and other changes. Check it out and tell me what you think smile

Here is a screen shot of what I mean:

As I say, I use Firefox (most recent version) with no ad blockers or add-ons or anything that might cause this. Is this what you're getting in Chrome?

Re: greyfox.me - a blog about gaming and me

Ok I know why now, it's the font.

Gonna work on that, thanks! smile

Well, I have some education in the field and my last job was mostly about making their website. But no I am unemployed atm.


I am looking into getting a job as a web developer but my dream job is to become a game designer. smile

I like the site but it's broken in IE8. It appears to be an issue with your sidebars and widget areas. The tabbed widget is overlapping the slideshow, the other sidebars are overlapping your content area and the footer is completely broken. It's probably just some IE specific problem. I appears to do it on all pages on the site. It looks almost like the sidebars are wrapped in the main contents div.

Your site looks amazing!  Wouldn't know it was Arras unless you said so.
Been using Wordpress/Arras for a few months now myself.
Nowhere near your level of modification but would love to learn if you ever have some spare time to talk about it.

I would love to know how you did the background. With the changing images, would make for a great clan/guild site. Any input would be grateful.

Hey Grey,  really interested in doing something similar to your feed on the front page, where I can allow users to switch between categories and see the latest posts from each category without switching pages.

Basically what you have for Latest :  News : Games : Design : Modding : Personal

Hit me up if you'd be willing to give me a few tips, I have some background in css/html.

Thanks
