    Semantic Markup

    I forgot the last part of my post which was to summerize the benefits: Due to less bloated code pages load quicker so faster loading times a big plus to any user:) Since content is seperated from design the whole visual aspect of the website can be changed from one stylesheet a bonus to any...

    Semantic Markup

    One thing i value highly when coding sites is the use of semantic markup. This means i.e if your coding a heading mark it up as a header <h1></h1> etc. What it comes down to is losing tables for layout.

    Fansite/Forum review

    I like it a very clean and straightforward design, the header also pops out too. Im only going to say from my point of view but i dont think the background image fits into it, maybe go with smaller lines or a gradient image such as lighter green to darker green. But overall nice looking forum...
