I just recently learned that I can customize my booth
sooo.... immediately I went to change my booth's appearance.

I'm far more interested on what you think of it.
is it readable?
colors too bright?
anything I should add to it?
how do I center the list table?

Looks good! But, I've noticed that any booths that have used that feature of designing their booth, immediately stop fitting on my screen and I have to scroll from left to right to see it all. Probably just me.

Looks great to me! (Using IE5)
heygrape do you use Netscape?

Hi Toomanycomics
You should break up the sentences on your About Me page. The HTML feature wasn't working for several months but they finally fixed it. Now you can use color & fonts etc there. I encourage everyone to place their email add at the top of the page. Auction Q&A is not reliable & I like being able to contact sellers direct before auction end.

I like the wallpaper & the clip art. From this PC the main color looks purple & is too bright. This monitor is several years old & has IE 5.0. My nighttime PC is brand new with IE 5.5 but colors generally look even brighter on it. I'll look at your page tonight on that PC but I think you may need to mellow the main color a bit. (Is it purple or blue?) The lighter color looks good from here and is much easier to read.

Found it very easy to read. The color is nice and the style fits your items nicely.
Perfect choice of colors to advertize comic books. (Graphic Design Major Here)

I like it too, and I can see the whole thing using Netscape.

One comment - a pal and I debated this...

We both initially moved the yahoo link to the bottom like it is on your page. Reason of aesthetics and also to highlight our items.
Probably same as yours.

I lived with it awhile and then decided to put the link to Yahoo back on top.
Why?
I was using the booth to check status of auctions (as opposed to "selling" page or whatever) and I found it very annoying to
have to scroll to get to the Yahoo Auction link - out of my own stuff that is. I concluded that if I was irritated, buyers must be miffed times 10 and so I moved it back to where it was prominent and people could have an easy out.

I don't know if this is good or bad or right or wrong - just offering it up for thought.

Thank you for your comments!

tegan - thanks! I was the former artist. Was introduced to web designing and I enjoyed it.

Very Mordern - Interesting thought, I'll make the Yahoo link smaller and move it to the top

kasmoon I'll work on as long I figure how to switch it over to About me page at the Page builder. as for the colors, I picked the softest of colors Yahoo offered.


heygrape - have you tried clicking Full Screen under View list on the menu bar?

dmercer - thanks!

edited to add: all fixed!

the one and only toomanycomics on AW!
