The site don't rendered well in Firefox. Layout is okay, but the dark text in light blue is not a good combo. Try other color.

it renders fine in FireFox. this is a tough one. I don't easily recommend marquee's but i your case it could maybe look better (the headlines have no real purpose to the message, DANCE???, of the site)

PS how did you get the shadow effect on the tables??? CSS table borders???

The top bar needs a little bit more "life" to it.

The page looks like a Linux installation screen (text based) (all the sections cut up) this tend to be a bit more boring. The theme is dance, dance has curves to it get a few extra graphics in there (not squares with borders around them) check out this site to see what is possible www.zoutnet.co.za/sol/ (this was a last minute job) the page layout should take it's que from the theme of the site. the colour combination of your site is an abstract of the theme. dance is so lively and colourfull add some colour get the feel into it, make your visitors WANT to dance.

PLEASE DON'T GO OVERBOARD THOUGH!!!

Darken the text a bit (optional, i don't realy think this is neccessary)

what realy helps to jazz up a site is to have a bar at the bottom of the page (etc. copyright info) that sort of mirrors the top bar only smaller (take a look at www.keyhunt.com this is a good example)

your google ads atleast don't stick out too much

Thanks William. I will mull over your suggestions and come up with something.

Hehe, the headlines were mainly a learning exercise for rss feeds. I wrote a script to update them hourly if they have changed. I'm not going to add heaps of content to the site, so it was also an effort to add content. If there were dance rss feeds I definitly would have used them...

Probably the best way to do the drop shadow effects in CSS can be found here. Here is an example of how my page works:

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<title>Drop Shadows</title>
<style type="text/css" title="currentStyle" media="screen">

#body
{
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
background: #ECE9D8;
height: 800px;
width: 750px;
}

#shadow
{
position: absolute;
top: 115px;
left: 90px;
height: 300px;
width: 550px;
background: #000;
}

#content
{
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 100px;
height: 300px;
width: 550px;
background: #fff;
text-align: center;
border: solid 2px #355C87;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">

<div id="shadow"></div>
<div id="content"><br />Content here </div>

</div>
</body>
</html>

First impression is to much blue. Change the background behind the text to white for an easier read.
