new blog -- army style

i have made a blog for my friend to keep track of his day to day training/thoughts while he is in army bootcamp. it is an ok design i guess... but i really want to make it stand out. please take a look at it and give me some c&c on how to make it better. thanks!

ps: don't worry about the first page... i haven't gotten to that yet.. just click on "Mitch's Journal" too get to the blog

Some of the letters are hard to read because of the background. You should make it lighter or make the text darker.

When you first arrive you have to be able to do 13 pushups, 17 situps, and run the mile in like 8 minutes 30 seconds....this is actually all pretty easy don't you thinK? I do.

That's it? Jeeze ... I thought it would be harder than that.

Oh, by the way, I'll probably be reading your jounal every so often, heh. I plan on joining the military (air force) pretty soon so reading about what you go through will kinda prepare me I guess. :D Glad you posted that.

not a problem. the way it works is that he will send me a letter (snail mail) every week or so with a day by day journal. i will post. thx for the comment. any other suggestions?

no offence but theres not much there,
i like the bg pic but dude can u really say u put more than n hr work into that ?

at least give it a pixel border and center it ;) , lol

thx for the comment but i don't understand what you are talking about when you say center it. i have it opening up in its own pre-sized window that can't be minimized or maxamized. it is already centered. please explain? thanks!

it looks fine to me actually but it was me I would've made it into 3 frames

------------------------
Header
------------------------
menu| content |
menu| content |
menu| content |
menu| content |
menu| content |
menu| content |

and content frame will be the only one that can scroll down, anyways that's just my idea...

i was thinking about that too. if i did that would i still need to keep the picture to where it doesn't move?

i ment it to be opened on a full size window the actual website should have a border n be centered, with a white bg, sorry i dont see wats so confussing? :( , lol

*shoots x-fusion*

No frames biatch!
