The Journal Entries: They're like a Baen book from the Bizarro universe: they have sexy spaceships and exploding women^*.

I like it. I find it easy to read with a delightful lack of (movingflashingcolorful) unnecessary decoration to distract a visitor from what s/he's there for.

Very nice job.

Looks every, very professional. I would go for darker text.

Home page design

It's just a minor quibble, but I tend to browse using a very high resolution, and I bump up the point sixe of things in my browser window. It would be nice if your site did not limit its width, and instead filled up my entire browser window.

Looks really good!

I also would have used some darker colours. Dito on liking the lack of flashy. Too many sites substitute flashy for content...

I Love the search feature. Thanks!

My first impressions on looking at the site were "Simple, clean."

I had to look up the Dictionary List, Dictionary Description, and Dictionary Term tags. I've never used those tags before. Now that I know what they are, I can add them to my list of commonly used HTML tags.

OT: I wonder if the W3C would consider adding Dictionary Head, Dictionary Foot, and Dictionary Body tags.

The only thing that gets me is the white; there's so much of it. I'm assuming you're using it to frame the "container" div (e.g. maybe do something like body{ body-background: ( #999 || #CCC || ??? ); } and div#container{ body-background: ( #999 || #CCC || #FFF || ??? ); } ). Against all that white, the grey is a little light.

Other than that, the site looks great! Did you have to write special CSS rules to check for IE?
