The nuge.com is my personal webspace I'm using as a test site right now. There will be an intro page I jsut haven't had time to throw it together yet. I'm glad you like the stylesheet... keep the comments coming.

I have a suggestion that you might think about, but it doesn't mean you should definitely do it. Take a look at your site. Pretend you are some old lady that does not know what a robot is and somehow ends up at your website. They have to know exactly what your site is for without much reading. Making some type of visualization on the home page may help. You could try putting a picture of your robot. Now you have to remember that this old lady probably isn't paying a lot of money and is getting an extremely slow, cheep internet connection through the slowest modem on the market. You should make the picture a sort of small thumbrail type pic that they can click on if they want the full sized image. This will help them to quickly learn what all this talk about robots has to do with the team mentioned in the website.

hmm interesting take on design. I'll keep that in mind as I make the next round of revisions. Thanks.

I originally figured you were aware of this and just ignoring it for now, but now I see why you wouldn't be; in resolutions above 1024 x 768 (which I run in), the top blue header splits apart into the seperate images it is made up of. I think you're going to want to fix that.

If we are talking about the same thing, it does split on mine.

I have the same problem with blue title bar in both IE and Opera.

Also, your page is very 'edgy' (like the edges are nice and sharp). I think if justifying the text alignment in your paragraphs would make it look nicer. It would make it fit with the 'sharp' design. You can do this with either the <p align="justify"> or in your stylesheet p {text-align:justify}. Just my two cents.. Good job, though

Ok, I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to test in above 1024x768 resolution, i don't have a monitor that goes higher. I'll try to test it on someone elses computer and resolve that issue. I'll also look into the justifying and stuff. Thanks again... and keep the feedback coming. I plan to update the test site again soon.
