   Hi guys & gals,

   I've just launched my new site / design. I'm looking for some constructive feedback regarding the layout / design.

   Thanks,

   James

   Excellent design.
   Two cents from me: I'd give the top menu items +letterspace. Capitals sometimes need that.
   The RSS tag should be tagged somewhere. It looks a little lost.
   The font for "design" is one font to much IMO. I'd use one of the other fonts you already use below.

   It looks very nice. Did you you design irresistible as well or just use it as a base for your own design?

   edit: Apparently links still don't work.

   Thanks for the feedback so far, any other suggestions are welcome!

   @ wundertype.de: I'll work on a replacement logo. What would you do the the RSS icon? I need it somewhere preferably on every page.

   @ Rob: I didn't design Irresistable, just used the theme as a base. I used the original (without the custom homepage) and redesigned the layout, images and put in my own widgets rather than rely on plugins. What do you mean 'Appanently links still don't work'? On the theme demo or on my site!?

   I like everything about the design. It looks sharp, easy on the eyes, and nice colors.

   Very nice design, James. I like how clean and clear everything is, and so pleasing to the eye.

   I think the one with the little string should hang from the top border. If you like it to cast a shadow like the other icons I'd take an upright one (e.g. icOn stage by http://www.dezinerfolio.com/downloads).
   A detail, nothing more. A cool site, anyway.

    @ wundertype: Thanks for the suggestion, I have moved the RSS icon and I think it looks a lot better now. I also adjusted the search box so it looks less 'out-of-place'.

    @ everyone: Thanks for all the feedback so far. It's all been positive, with some constructive suggestions which is great!

    I meant on here :D It was an edit as I put a link in put it just displayed it all without changing it to be a link.

    This place is going down hill so much so that we can't even put links or quote people in the forums :(

    Here's my feedback : I would suggest losing the computer screen with the paint brush as a logo - it looks too much like one of the the regular icons you have on the site. The word design underneath your name seems out of place to me. Other than that I think the layout is great. I always like to see how people have changed up different templates to make them their own style.
