Nice. The black and white is very strong, I like how you adapted the SpinZone logo and other usually-colored elements to your new high-contrast look.
The "below the fold" section seems odd, though. I'm on a 1024x768 screen right now, and it's a bit wide, and shifted to the right. The blog part is centered, but the stuff to the right of the blog makes it seem off-center.

Looks good. I can sort of see how it might look a little off centre, but I wouldn't really have noticed it unless it was pointed out. At the very least, I've seen worse (and I don't just mean from bad Geocities pages or something, I mean proper sites. Sore Thumbs, for example, way more off centre than this.)

Sweet, thanks guys. The previews have been pretty well received.
Brad, I'm suprised the below the fold part (I'm assuming you mean the blog and the sidebar) is showing up wide for you. That whole section shouldn't be any wider than the comic. What kind of browser are you using?

It isn't wider than the comic, it's off-center. I've attached a screenshot. I use Firefox 2 for Mac. |

Looks cool. I echo Brad's comment that the B&W color scheme works really well.
Only two negative points (it's easier to find fault than to make it): The all-black, boldface links are hard to recognize as links, even once I knew that the black boldface text were probably links. And the full-color banners that appear down below are a bit shocking in the B&W mode.
Otherwise I really like it.

For what it's worth, it doesn't seem to affect Camino. |

Oh, that's what he meant by "off centre"... I thought he meant that having the text and sidebar positioned as they are makes it seem unbalanced it... meh, I'm dumb.
I'm using Firefox 2 for a PC, and it's fine, so it must be a Mac dealy. Mac's failing where a PC has worked? Unimaginable!

I just upgraded Firefox and it seems to be working fine. I can't imagine what the problem is on yours, Brad. Very odd. So Macs haven't failed yet.  Point taken on the links and banners, Eddie. I think I may change the links to a deep red, I don't think that'll break up the color scheme too much. |

I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.1 on a Mac (Intel) and it looks fine for me. But since I've upgraded I've noticed some occasional weirdnesses (on other sites) with placement of images that go away when I reload the page.

UPDATE: The issue I'm having seems to be user-specific. Different user accounts on the same machine don't have the problem. So it seems to just be me.
