Website design review

[icarus]

Quick question:

I've heard back from some people that they have trouble reading my website.

Do you?

If so -

1) is the print too small (11 pt in windows, 10 pt in navigation)?
2) is the blue and black theme too dark?
3) are there broken links?
4) do you want me to list fics by pairing?
5) ...other problems?

Thank you. The website's there for you, so however stylish it is -- if it's not readable, then I need to fix it.

ETA: So far it's pretty universal that -
a) the strikethrough needs to be removed
b) the links need to be a different, brighter colour
c) there needs to be a larger margin on the individual story pages
d) list fics by pairing instead of by rating
e) do not use heading < h 1 > style as it does not work in some browsers
f) bump point size up one notch (11 pt & 12 pt)
g) ... I'm not sure how to fix the navigation/pix overlap found in some browsers. Hmm.

ETA2: I've updated some of my pages with larger fonts, yellow instead of the cross-out mouse over, removed the < h 1 > tag in places. Haven't fixed the margin, and a new issue has arisen: some find the frame in the middle of the page difficult and too-small. Correcting that... would involve a none-too-pretty (in terms of the work involved) change to the picture framing it.

Please keep the critiques coming, again, this came from a few private, hand-over-the-mouth mumbles from friends.

1) is the print too small (11 pt in windows, 10 pt in navigation)?

That's a little small for me, but not so tiny that I'd hit the back button. (But then, I have bad eyes, to someone with good ones it might be fine!)

2) is the blue and black theme too dark?

I don't think so. It's pretty and I can read it (even with my work computer stuck on some too-dark setting).

3) are there broken links?

None that I found!

4) do you want me to list fics by pairing?

I'm fine with any way of listing them. :)

I think I'm going to bump the fonts up one font size.
