    <description><![CDATA[I had an idea for a site, so I made it over the past week or so, it's got a few glitches, but that's mostly...or allly angelfire's fault. &nbsp;If it weren't for angelfire, it would be valid strict XHTML! &nbsp;Anyway, I think it's pretty cool, pretty sparse right now, but..yeah.. Be sure to look at all the pages. &nbsp;Wow, i can't believe this is the first time I've posted here..that can't be right...<br /><br />www.angelfire.com/d20/pwernizor]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[www.angelfire.com/d20/pwernizor<br /><br />Looks fine to me. Some of the background images are a little too bright and interfere with the readability of the text. <br /><br />I would suggest fixing the background image so that the text scrolls but the background doesn't, as I have <a href="http://www.minifonts.com/pixelmaps.html">here</a> (look at the source).]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Yeah, I'm going to change the colors a bit. &nbsp;I experimented with the fixed background image, but my friend on dial-up said that it made everything a lot slower. &nbsp;Scrolling lags a bit even on my broadband connection with the fixed BG image, so I think I'll keep it the way it is...but...It does look cool fixed...idk. &nbsp;Oh, by the way, I got the idea for the background images from that pixelmaps site. &nbsp;I like the idea of really small gif files that still look good. &nbsp;In my case, in photoshop, I used trace contour on the image, and then threshhold, and then made a gif so the 2 colors were the foreground color and transparent. &nbsp;It works really well on images with just a white background.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[I agree on the fixed images. If you do it well, lag time should be minimal, at best.<br />Personally, I really want your font to be a pixel bigger.<br /><br />Whatever your popup is, I'll never see it, so that's a waste fo time.<br /><br />]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[I made the font one pixel larger. &nbsp;How do you reduce lag time on the fixed background?]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[By buying everyone a faster video card or a computer that doesn't rely on the processor for video processing. The lag is nothing to do with the Web or how it is delivered, it is a a function of the individual computer's video processing efficiency - hey, we're talking whole milliseconds here!]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Fixed background images now. &nbsp;I suppose all the people who would have problems with it are probably using IE anyway. &nbsp;By the way, do you have any idea why IE spaces the &quot;item&quot; divs so far apart?]]></description>

If you get rid of the padding and use something else to create the spacing (ie margin) the look will be more consistent.]]></description>
