It'd be awesome if the image thumbnails on the homepage had links. Other than that, very nice.

Now for street view!

I like it. Looks very clean/minimalist. I think the font you chose at first works better though. The font in this screenshot that you posted earlier:
And the symbol before your name was a nice touch, too.

I love chrome and it's none existent font smoothing sometimes.
-
I do like that as well, but I feel that it makes the page look way more generic, while the cursive typeface in the current version adds a bit of a personal and human touch.
-
What if it was more in the middle of the screen?
-
They're coming once I figure out how to do them nicely.
-
the best thing you've ever made, it's a damn shame the top two thumbnails throw it off. logo might look better if it were a tiny bit smaller. on the about me, "transformed into a job" is an orphan and it looks weird. besides that, good job.

TerabyteS_ did you actually buy Helvetica Neue?
-
That'll be our little secret..

Don't be silly, UI designers don't steal.

I'll change it once I find a decent enough alternative.

Don't worry, I've found a pretty close alternative: http://www.fontspace.com/roger-white/swansea

alright that's enough"I'm a thief and a web developer."

Fuck you, Windows.

i'd say otherwise
Edited:
and omg no don't touch it's alignment, left aligned websites are so fucking great looking

You have to stick to a pretty limited set of fonts in Chrome on Windows to get it to render the fonts correctly.Fuck you, Windows.

Anyways, I've opted for Open Sans
-
Open Sans is sexy :D
https://github.com/Fizzadar/Fanatical-Dev-Core pushed the largest updates since the beginning of development, full twitter/oauth support, lots of other bits.
-
I've realised Opens Sans is 99% identical to Droid Sans but doesn't look terrible on Windows!
Thanks Tera!

Looking good, but:
Very ragged copy. There's no space between line breaks, which makes the copy look like a paragraph with very odd breaks.
-
Do you mean empty rows? Right now every section is a single paragraph.Looking good, but:

-
By section, you mean each paragraph and subheader? If those two elements are supposed to be paragraphs, why are you breaking the line at odd intervals? It looks awkward. Especially when some lines seem to wrap much earlier than other lines. I've never seen a paragraph formatted like that before.
-
If you look at the code you'll see that right now they're composed of inly an h2 and a p tag. Should I change that?
-
yes
Edited:
rule of thumb: if you need to use <br />, you're better off with </p><p>
-
I'm not sure what exactly is so hard to grasp here, I'm talking about the way you're randomly breaking the paragraph using <br/> tags.
Doesn't it look
weird to you if I wrote a paragraph
like this with inconsistent
line endings?
Paragraphs should flow naturally and if you're going to start a new line you really should be closing that <p> tag and starting a new paragraph. You say both sections are one paragraph, if that's the case, there shouldn't be any <br/> tags breaking up the paragraph, that's visually contradicting with you saying it's one paragraph.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll correct it later

Better?

Just finished the first day of my internship at

I personally feel that it would look perfect if you added a 5-10px bottom margin to your paragraphs. The thoughts are together now, but since the paragraphs have no spacing above/below each one, it still looks like it all kind of runs together to me. I found it a bit hard to read.Thanks for clearing that up, I'll correct it later

Everyone there uses Chrome, right?Just finished the first day of my internship at!

Replaying to this post using Opera Mobile, it's perfect.Just finished the first day of my internship at!
Though you must admit, Opera is like a fallen war hero. It did amazing things but nobody seems to care.
-
How is it now?
-
Too spaced out.
Move them ~50% closer.
And add a bit more space between the <h2> and first <p> of each section.
-
I don't have much more flexibility than what you see there in terms of spacing because everything has to be aligned to a baseline grid.
-
It doesn't have to. As long as you're consistent throughout, there shouldn't be an issue. The web design police aren't going to come and bust down your door because your website doesn't conform to the grid system completely.
To be honest, I thought grid systems were mainly to align elements horizontally, in uniform columns. Vertical positioning shouldn't matter.
-
Yep, Vietnow's is exactly what I was imagining. Looks a thousand times better. Most clients aren't even going to know what a baseline grid is. What they will know however, is that they're having a hard time reading your copy. Best to just stick with what looks good, unless of course this is for a school project where you actually HAVE to use baseline grid.It doesn't have to.

If the latter is the case, perhaps refining your content so that each paragraph consists of at least 3 sentences would make it look better with the grid.
Like the paragraphs here: http://www.alistapart.com/d/settingt...b/example.html
It might look weird to us just because you have several paragraphs that are one or barely two lines, and with a space between each short paragraph, it feels like the white space is bigger than the content itself. Maybe I'm just ranting, but food for thought.
My attempt:
-
I tried to apply your suggestions (I won't change the line-heights though, the baseline grid is too important to the design):
Better? (I really can't tell myself because I already know what the copy says)
-
