However, I can get to the demo page on your site but cannot find the code anywhere. I've looked in all of your links on the site as well as executed a search. Can you please help me? Thanks.

Ngo Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:09:42 +0000 http://blog.d7nh.com/other/d7-blog/#comment-63 Hi D7, I think overflow is the way you try to control the height of some things with its properties: visible, hidden, scroll, auto. And in CSS2 we already have this. However, it's just like you take a 'soft' control and you'll get some new troubles when using this LOL. Try to 'hard' control by using PHP code. Hi D7,

However, it’s just like you take a ’soft’ control and you’ll get some new troubles when using this LOL. Try to ‘hard’ control by using PHP code.

But since CSS 3 is too new so it's not browser-safe Thank you Nguyen H Ngo,

Ngo Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:46:49 +0000 http://blog.d7nh.com/other/d7-blog/#comment-60 You aren't a coder but the way you use jQuery is great. I think you can have a quick look here: http://ddth.com/showthread.php?t=194955. It maybe useful, just some basic functions. @Min: I've read an article said that the text-replacement using text-indent is not good for SEO. Because of the web developer may add the keywords, tags in their web page and then try to hide them in the 'real' pages (it appears in the HTML of course). However, that's just an article, if you have further information, please let me know. You aren’t a coder but the way you use jQuery is great.

If I were you, I would make the sidebar in Georgia, because your choice of typeface (Century Gothic) added too much weight and it makes the design doesn't look consistent. I saw you used Century Gothic here and there, although this is a great font but I don't think that it works for small size content. The bottom columns on the homepage need more attention. The article navigation on top of the post titles and the post meta look really out of place. Hope those make sense. I will let you know if I have any further thoughts. @Tien: who cares about the branding stuffs when it comes to an "Usability Test"? I think text-replacement is always good for SEO.

I commented to your photo, you can delete it if you want 4. I don't want those to be big or bold or something so the colorful threads won't be distracted. When users see one link highlighted, they will easily know the next ones 5. I forgot about disabling all images, but just noticed on disabling all style sheets. This should be in consideration, in deed. In fact, the link text doesn't disappear, it changes color to the background color :P 1 & 2. Those were helpful as I expected. I am still considering some modifications and solutions for this. I knew it still lacks something :( Thanks, Tien
