MLB Schedule [New blog]

it looks nice and you seem to be filling it up with a lot of information. One thought – your top image is nice but it is massive and really takes up a ton a page real estate. This forces any viewer to have to scroll down a ways to get to the info. You might want to make it smaller (not as tall) if possible. Just a thought.

Thanks. I had that same thought about the banner. Appreciate the feedback.

wow. if you can keep up the content it will be terrific. looks like a tall task with all those daily updates! we just wrote a review for Harry the K’s Broadcast Grill at Citizen’s Bank Park (the park is amazing, by the way) if you want to do an in-post link exchange or something.

are you putting the content in the tables by hand every day or have you automated it somehow?

Hey,

A couple things I noticed about the design:

The first issue I have is with your background. Because the lines are so thin and the contrast so extreme, it causes a flicker every time I scroll up or down. It can be a bit distracting. So, keep the idea, but maybe either space them out a bit or dull the contrast some.

The second thing would be the table on the right hand side. I’m not someone who is 100% tables, and you’ve used it in the right manner. However, maybe add some style to it to match the rest of the design? Your navigation uses flat, faint colours. Maybe look at those for your borders and cell background colours? Also a bit of padding would make it seem not so cramped.

The last thing I want to mention is the border around your RSS Feed Icon. Just do an img {border: none} in your css, and that will take care of it.

Otherwise, I love the collage feel of the header, the clean grid layout. It’s a nice design!

Thanks, chewru. I’m pretty dedicated at sticking at this, so we’ll see how it all flies. I’ve discovered that I can copy an Excel table and then just need to add a border within WordPress to get these tables. I’m hoping I can automate this even further as I try some different things. (I’ll check out your review of the Grill; CBP is definitely on my list of parks to visit.)

patdryburgh, I really appreciate the specific feedback. All are good ideas that I will work on. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
