    Hi there!

    I recently bought a new domain, fourmargins.com.

    Last night I got an idea, so I went with it. The result: http://fourmargins.com/fm.html

    So I was wondering; should I build upon this, or is it another one for the wastebin?

    I previously owned misinterpreted.org, but because of some problems with the hosting company, I lost it. I've still got the content, though, so I'll probably throw that into fourmargins. And I'll buy misinterpreted.org back when it becomes availiable (so I can redirect it to my new domain).

    Thanks in advance!

    I like it. I think the layout is simple enough you can see the hierarchy immediately. I do feel though that the type is a little weak. The big leading does help make the text bodies lighter, but I think the text as a whole lacks impact. Just not strong enough. Maybe choose a stronger typeface or ease up on the lineheight.

    Really like this. Go for it. Agreed that maybe the article headers could be beefed up slightly. Other than that great.

    For me, and this may well be just me talking, the lack of a different color or texture background around the actual content container is a bit disturbing. It leaves me with a sense of trying to figure out how wide the real content area is.

    Yeah, I really don't like how the entire page seems to be a link.

    I assume it's just designs to show the home page and the comments etc

    It looks good i'd prefre if the content was aligned with the logo tho

    Assuming that your use of one large graphic for the page is just for illustration purposes, I only have a couple of comments/suggestions:

    - I agree with Kurt that the content should be moved to the same left-hand position as the logo

    -You may want to think about the weighting of your content. Right now the only hierachy you have is the vertical organization from top to bottom, which makes focussing the users attention somewhat difficult.

    Blog style. looks good. Font arrangement and its size and one beautifully design sharp graphical Icon or image may brings the website more LIVE.

    Thanks for your comments everyone!
    I'll look into the content alignment issue. Come to think of it, I actually agree. :)

    I noticed that it it has been listed on a few CSS design promo-sites. I'm not sure how positive I should be to that, since it hasn't been released yet. But hey, any publicity is good, right? :)

    I love it. I need to look at how you did the gradients, because they look really... soothing :P
