phil88 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey guys, first I'd like to apologise for initially posting this in the wrong forum. I didn't find much distinction between this and the critique forums. Anyhoo. I've created a social network aggregator for my final year project at uni and would appreciate your time to help me test it. At the moment, it supports linking Twitter, Facebook & Myspace accounts together and letting you read and post updates from and to each account, but it's built with extendibility in mind. This is the website and I'd really appreciate if you would test it on your PCs, Macs, mobiles or whatever other devices you have. I'd also massively appreciate it if you'd fill in this questionnaire if you have a minute too. (I tinyurl'd the links because I want to limit search engine visibility until I'm more confident of its robustness). Also, here's the proof of ownership file.

cs.punk Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I didn't test anything but, The wooden background looks 'blurry' although it seems you were aiming for a grain effect. I would change it. Also the homepage isn't very well laid out in my opinion. No top logo/header. Missing something to 'box it' all in. Sorry if I went off topic. Hope it was helpfull Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231255-final-year-uni-project/#findComment-1192297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I agree with cs.punk that the background looks pretty blurred and distracts a bit. I would also add some padding at the bottom of the articles to give the text some air to breath. this seems to be enough article { margin-top: 1em; min-height: 80px; padding: 0 10px 10px; /* added bottom padding */ } same is for your <h2> heading give the text some air so it pops out more padding: 3px 0; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231255-final-year-uni-project/#findComment-1192721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil88 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys. I totally agree about the spacing of some elements and the background being blurry and a bit much. I've found that it doesn't notice too much in 1024x768 windows, but anything larger and it really does stand out. As far as the logo/header goes, this is a uni assignment, so unfortunately I'm prioritising the marks at the moment. Creating a logo is something that is definitely on my to-do list, but it's quite a long way down for now because there are bigger marks in other areas that I need to focus on. Did you both fill in the questionnaire? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231255-final-year-uni-project/#findComment-1192841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 just, so we are on the same level, you are using repeat on the image, so it's not dependent of the window size. the image is blurred: http://www.chattercrab.com/images/full/wood-bg.jpg As for your prioritizing, I supplied the code, so no need to figure that out part, just add it if you agree with it of-course. sorry, I did not fill in the questionnaire, didn't had time for it. Nor did i had time for testing it out really, I am not a real fan of facebook although it's a great tool.

phil88 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah, we're on the same page about the background - creating a better background is something I'm going to do. My comment regarding my priorities was about creating a logo though - there's no marks in doing that, so that's a long way down the to-do list.
