We will be taking many steps to ensure that the design looks perfect. The CSS will be worked on heavily to help make everything look cleaner, we'll be working on an RSS newsfeed and various other things.

This design has been tested to work fine with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

yea, just go strict, through the page im working on for my Web Portfolio for Design, HTML 4.01 is fastest under Strict...

im using HTML 4.01 Strict, PHP for file calling and small apps (mysql, etc), and css covers calling in pictures, placement and whatnot

as for php ive found that using include in dynamic php coding such as do loops is best for that and require is fastest for static stuff, such as the initial load of the page...

just my 2 cent worth

tables should only be used to display stuff, leave DIV tags and CSS for styling since its faster

Please, make printer-friendly versions of all XS reviews (such as the Redline review) without all unneeded graphics and resize all relevant pictures with texts so it can be read by default after being printed (instead of you having to print every picture separetaly). Also, make the print function searchable (i e in text as a hyperlink/script).

This might already have been mentioned somewhere, but it's very important imho. Thanks

I love it. I was wondering when you guys were going to use it. I saw it quite some time ago when typing xtremesystems.com instead of .org.

Looks cool, but I thought you scrapped postnuke and used another CMS? Also, there's a few bugs. The silver image at the bottom isn't aligned correctly. Nice graphics though!
