My Website. For Programmers. Let me know what you think

[Trace]

Guys, I have been busy with school and my new website. Finally fixed it, after the forums got messed up.

Just wondering what you guys think, maybe you would like to join.

Its for programmers who like challenges

the link: ProgrammingChallenges (http://programmingchallenges.info)

Trace,

You have justified text to the right of the banner which makes the first line stretch and poorly spaced (in firefox at least). Maybe centred would be tidier.

Kaspersky internet gave me a warning when I was clicking your links (no other browser activity). It warned as a known identity theft site and blocked it. Appears to be a counter? If so then try statcounter.com they are pretty good:

Design wise the red/pink banner seems "wrong" for the target market. If you were selling roses I'd say go with it but you aren't. Perhaps something more high tech with a blue/black/grey theme with more 3D depth would make the site look more coherent and more attractive to people interested in programming challenges.

looks ok, i agree about the colours though, maybe blue, gray or black.

also there is 11 errors in your xml code

[Trace]

All right, thanks for the help and suggestions guys.
I'm getting to work on that now!
EDIT:
Alright I think I got the counter thing sorted out CB if you wouldn't mind trying it again for me and letting me know. Thanks.

I personally like the colours. It may be a touch too pink and could benefit from being more red, but overall I like it.

As a beginning programmer, I look forward to having some problems to practice on! I'll be keeping an eye on this.

[Trace]

Alright, feel free to post constructive critiscism!
Makes it easier to make the site better.
EDIT
Fixed the justification :D (spacing)
EDIT2
Changed colors, tell me what you think.

I think this is a great idea. Trace, I could put a blurb out on MySpace to my Alma Mater's group and see if you could get a few members if you like.

[Trace]

That would be great!
And, P.S. if I know you on here, and we've been in communication, im looking for some mods :) so let me know. (XcOM?) lol

Neat site. What is your first challenge gonna be?

[Trace]

I just got finished posting the overview actually. A simple task to start out with.

Overview: Take the array {5, 6, 8, -9, -5} and find the sum of all positive integers=x and all negative integers=y.
The array is going to be a BIG file that you will have to split and deal with. I forgot to add that. that array is just a small example.

[XcOM]

That would be great!

Check your PM's

and your site dosen't show ny css formatting now in Firefox (Not checked IE yet) but basicly all i see is text, no images of any kind.

edit,

Cleared my cache and re-checked, it works now

[Trace]

Alright, glad to here you got it working.

[XcOM]

It just worked for me, I think the server must have been down

[XcOM]
