Yes, I'm entering v2 of Z-Design. I even decided to start capitalizing the 'Z' and 'D.' I've been working on the layout, to begin with. I'm also reorganizing some things, but that's not the point right now. Here's the page of the new layout...

Yeah, there's problems in IE with the images. Do you know how to fix those?

Critique? Comments? They're welcomed.

Well this is not bad, a nice bubbly layout. I like the colour a lot, and the little "news and content" guy xD

What I don't really like is how the corners are a bit sharp and pixel-ish, you need to smooth them out. Also, you need some spacing between the text and borders, in the sidebars and the content column. Also, you should change the link colours to something less default-looking - go for a darker colour.

I'm not sure about the image problem in IE, but it looks kind of cool.

Don't worry about that image problem in IE. IE is stupid, so it doesn't render rounded edges properly. It looks great, except for the things already mentioned by Electron.

I forgot to mention that I hadn't implemented padding or link colours yet. XD Sorry.

I use GIMP for graphics, and it did the corners that way by default, but I can Gaussian Blur them by 1 I think... that should fix it.

Thanks for all your comments. ^-^
