Living In Kentucky

Nice work you should post that skin and others you have

When I reach the skill level necessary to support others that would use my styles, I will.

I could dress up a pig real pretty, but I couldn't tell ya the first thing about it's anatomy.

Maybe it's just a Southern thing but I take a little pride in my work, good or bad.

Nice!

I would make the border go down the page all the way instead of stopping like that. (y-repeat). And, I'm not sure about the animated stars to show the current tab - it's a bit distracting. Otherwise, I like what you've done!

Thanks Lynne,
I removed the stars and made the page background fixed.

Nice board, I like the style as well. I really like the colors you have chosen.

Side Note: I may have to join up. I am from/in Kentucky as well :)

Feel free to join. Not much content but you are welcome to make some :)

Nice looking forum. I like also the name of your theme.

There aren't many of us left :)

My critique is all about branding.

Your style is nice enough. It's a bit dark and a bit bland for my liking though. Perhaps taking the navy blue and pairing it with a more softer shade of blue would give the feel of "Kentucky bluegrass" or some such. Most importantly though - I note your forum has the lovely domain "LivingInKentucky.com" --- However, there's nothing about the website style that overtly or otherwise says anything "Kentucky"

I'm also not really understanding the film-related images you have in the header and the background. I do not see how these images helps promote "Kentucky" -- it's quite odd really.

My suggestion: If you want to capture your Kentucky audience - I'd suggest you rebrand your forum - at minimal making your logo and forum index icons related to the subject matter ;)

A design concept such as...

...but more sophisticated styling and obviously related to Kentucky ... would do wonders for your niche.

HTH,
